Abstract：
Environmental pollution and energy crises have garnered global attention. The substantial discharge of organic waste into water bodies has led to profound environmental contamination. Photocatalytic fuel cells (PFCs) enabling the simultaneous removal of refractory contaminants and recovery of the chemical energy contained in organic pollutants provides a potential strategy to solve environmental issues and the energy crisis. This review will discuss the fundamentals, working principle, and configuration development of PFCs and photocatalytic microbial fuel cells (PMFCs). We particularly focus on the strategies for improving the wastewater treatment performance of PFCs/PMFCs in terms of coupled advanced oxidation processes, the rational design of high-efficiency electrodes, and the strengthening of the mass transfer process. The significant potential of PFCs/PMFCs in various fields is further discussed in detail. This review is intended to provide some guidance for the better implementation and widespread adoption of PFC wastewater treatment technologies.
摘要：
环境污染和能源危机已引起全球关注。有机废物大量排放到水体中导致了严重的环境污染。光催化燃料电池（PFC）能够同时去除难降解污染物和回收有机污染物中包含的化学能，为解决环境问题和能源危机提供了潜在的策略。这篇评论将讨论基础知识，工作原理,以及PFC和光催化微生物燃料电池（PMFC）的配置开发。我们特别关注在耦合高级氧化工艺方面提高PFC/PNFCs废水处理性能的策略，高效电极的合理设计，以及传质过程的加强。进一步详细讨论了PFC/PMFC在各个领域的巨大潜力。本文旨在为更好地实施和广泛采用PFC废水处理技术提供一些指导。
