Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a kind of device that uses electricityproducing microorganisms as anode catalysts to directly convert chemical energy in organic matter into electrical energy. It has broad application prospects in the field of wastewater treatment and new energy development. This chapter aims to discuss the concept, reaction mechanism, and application prospect of bioelectrochemical systems using wastes for electricity generation. The types, properties, and activity parameters of microbe for MFC are discussed. In addition, the design and optimization of MFCs devices for enhanced efficiency are evaluated. Particularly, critical discussions are provided on application of MFCs technology for different types of wastewater as well as corresponding key bottlenecks. Besides, the recent progress in wastewater treatment and seawater desalination, as well as the possibility of the combination between wastewater treatment and seawater desalination integrated with biomass production is evaluated. This chapter also discusses the limitations and challenges of MFCs industrialization and large-scale applications. The advantages and inadequacies of MFCs compared with other technical solutions for waste utilization are analyzed in detail. Moreover, the economic feasibility, future research perspectives in order to enhance the MFCs performance in large-scales are presented.
