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.

Review Description
Wastewater treatment is a high-cost and energy-intensive process not only due to large amounts of pollutants but also for the large volumes of water to be treated, which are mainly generated by human activities and different industries. In this regard, biological wastewater treatments have become substitutes to the current technologies, owing to the improved treatment efficiency and added value. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) as one of the promising biological treatments have arisen as a viable solution for chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal and electricity generation simultaneously. Therefore, in this article, the effects of various operating conditions on the COD removal and power production from MFCs are thoroughly discussed. In addition, the advantages and weaknesses of current MFCs technologies used for different types of wastewater are summarized. Finally, the technical barriers facing by MFCs operation and the economic feasibility of using MFCs for wastewater treatment are provided.
