Abstract

A photobioelectrochemical Fuel Cell (PBEC-FC) relies on the synergic effect of
electroactive and photo-electroactive microorganisms with or without photosensitive
electrode to degrade organic matter for diverse bioelectrochemical application.
In addition to wastewater treatment, PBEC-FC is also versatile in producing
bioelectricity, biofuel, and pollutant degradation. PBEC-FC can come with a
different configuration to accommodate for various applications under specific
reaction. As a result of continuous research, there are three developing configurations
which are: photosynthetic-BFC (PS-BFC), photovoltaic BFC (PV-BFC),
and photoelectrode-BFC (PE-BFC). Studies have demonstrated that light-driven
BFC has improved the substrate oxidation in the anode and concurrent bioelectrochemical
reaction in the cathode as compared to dark conditions. Motivated
by the increasing number of publications for this technology, the various configurations
of PBEC-FC that suit different applications and their performance will be
discussed in this chapter. Although the current performance of PBEC-FC remains
low, but, with a continuous advancement to develop a durable and high photoactive
material, this green technology will be realized into practicality in the future.
