利用藻类构建微生物燃料电池研究进展

随着全球能源短缺及环境恶化的进一步加剧，寻找可持续发展的绿色新能源技术成为各国关注的焦点，利用藻类构建的微生物燃料电池（MFCs）作为一种新兴的可持续发展技术，真正做到节能环保，一举多得。本文综述了利用藻类构建MFCs的研究现状，以藻类在微生物电池中的不同作用为出发点，介绍了以藻类为阳极基质、阳极及阴极时电池的工作机理，结合不同类型电池对藻种的选择情况，阐述了藻类构建MFCs的产电效果，回顾了藻类构建MFCs对水体污染物的去除效能，分析了影响MFCs产电效能的主要环境因素，并从经济效益、产业化、产电效率几个方面对目前藻类构建MFCs存在的问题进行了总结，同时对后期的研究进行了展望，以期为日后利用藻类构建MFCs的研究与实际工程提供理论参考。

Construction of microbial fuel cells using algae

As global energy shortages and environmental problemsgetting worse,developing new sustainable green energy technology has become the focus attention in the world. As a new technology for sustainable development,microbial fuel cells(MFCs)constructed by algae can achieve energy saving and environmental protection. Based on the mechanism and the selection of algae species in the MFCs,this paper reviewed the state of art of MFCs constructed by algae in terms of the different roles which algae played. The capability of generating electricity and removal of water pollutant from a practical application of MFCs was illustrated in this paper. the effect of main environmental factors on the electricity output was analyzed and the current problems of algae built MFCs,such as the economic benefits,industrial and electricity production efficiency,were summarized. The prospect of future research was present to provide basics for further studying MFCs constructed by algae.
