Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is a powerful nondestructive technique that can act as a beneficial addition to the current techniques for studying microbial fuel cells (MFCs). Its application in MFC research should be further explored in the analysis of the internal resistance of MFCs, electrode materials, catalyst coatings on electrodes, biofilm development and electrochemical reactions on the anodes and the cathodes of MFCs.
