Abstract: As global energy shortages and environmental problemsgetting worse,developing new sustainable green energy technology has become the focus attention in the world. As a new technology for sustainable development,microbial fuel cells(MFCs)constructed by algae can achieve energy saving and environmental protection. Based on the mechanism and the selection of algae species in the MFCs,this paper reviewed the state of art of MFCs constructed by algae in terms of the different roles which algae played. The capability of generating electricity and removal of water pollutant from a practical application of MFCs was illustrated in this paper. the effect of main environmental factors on the electricity output was analyzed and the current problems of algae built MFCs,such as the economic benefits,industrial and electricity production efficiency,were summarized. The prospect of future research was present to provide basics for further studying MFCs constructed by algae.
