The integration of supercapacitive features in microbial fuel cells (MFC) can solve one of the major limitations of this technology, i.e., the low power output. In this chapter, three different strategies to exploit the supercapacitive features of MFCs are reported and discussed: (i) the integration of high specific surface area elements in the electrode to maximize the capacitive response, (ii) the exploitation of a pulsed discharge, and (iii) the decoration of microbial fuel cell electrodes with inorganic pseudocapacitive components.
