Frontispiece: Improving the Performance of Microbial Fuel Cells through Anode Manipulation

The frontispiece shows shows a microbial fuel cell capable of degrading organic matter and generating electron flux, therefore presenting potential applications in bioelectricity generation, bioremediation, bioproduction, and biosensing. The Minireview on page 1216 by X. Xie, W. Huang, and co-workers outlines progress in the anode manipulation of microbial fuel cells to improve biocompatibility, provide more space, and facilitate electron transfer. The resulting higher performance and lower cost would facilitate future applications and the commercialization of microbial fuel cells.
