Methane (CH) is a well-known and abundant feedstock for natural gas, and is readily available from various sources. In thermal plants, the CH generated from anthropogenic sources is converted into electrical energy via combustion. Microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology has proven to be an efficient strategy for the biological conversion of a many substrates, including biogas (CH), to electricity. MFC technology uses gaseous substrate along with an enriched and selective microbial consortium. Predominantly, methanotrophs and electrochemically active were utilized in a syntrophic association on the anode of an MFC. This review focuses on the exploitation of CH as a substrate for bioelectrogenesis via MFCs.
甲烷(CH₄)是一种广为人知且储量丰富的天然气原料,可从多种来源轻松获取。在热电厂中,人为来源产生的CH₄通过燃烧转化为电能。微生物燃料电池(MFC)技术已被证明是将包括沼气(CH₄)在内的多种底物生物转化为电能的有效策略。MFC技术使用气态底物以及富集和选择性的微生物群落。主要地,甲烷氧化菌和具有电化学活性的微生物在MFC阳极上以互营共生关系被利用。本综述重点关注利用CH₄作为通过MFC进行生物电产生的底物。
