Özet: With the rapid increase in the population amount and the development of the industry in recent years, the energy requirement needed cannot be met sufficiently with the limited resources available, and the gap between energy production and consumption is gradually increasing. Considering that fossil-based energy sources will be exhausted in the future, water scarcity and environmental pollution problems; it requires finding new environmentally friendly technologies for sustainable wastewater treatment and power generation. Microbial fuel cells (MFC), which we have encountered recently, are bioelectrochemical systems that can convert organic matter into electrical energy by the metabolic activity of microorganisms. In this system, different wastewater treatment and electricity can be produced simultaneously. In this system, different wastewater treatment and electricity can be produced simultaneously. In this study, firstly, the general structure of MYH technology, its use in wastewater treatment and energy production are mentioned. Then, studies on wastewater treatment and energy production using MYHs were compiled and current difficulties and potentials of this technology were discussed.
