光催化耦合微生物燃料电池(MFC)协同处理废水兼具光催化及MFC双重优点,比单一光催化或MFC更具有优势,可实现去除污染物并同步产电,将为环境污染和能源危机问题提供持续可靠的解决方案。综述了光催化耦合MFC降解污染物机理、在污染物处理方面的应用对比、面临的技术挑战及未来展望。

Synergistic treatment of wastewater by a coupled photocatalytic-microbial fuel cell (MFC) system has the advantages of both photocatalysis and microbial fuel cell,through which pollutants can be effectively removed and the electricity can be synchronously generated.It is believed that in the near future,this route will provide a sustainable and reliable solution for environmental pollution and energy crisis.In this review,the mechanism of pollutant degradation by the photocatalytic coupled MFC system is expounded,the applications of the system in pollutant treatment are compared,the technical challenges faced are reviewed,and the future research is prospected.
