▎ 摘　　要

The modifications of electrodes using graphene and graphene composites in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) have been widely applied for enhancing the electrochemical catalytic activity and performance of MFCs and MECs. Graphene as one of advanced materials has shown outstanding features for promoting practical applications of MFCs. This review summarizes the modification methods and characterization methods of graphene and related graphene composites on electrode surfaces in MFCs and MECs. The performance improvements of MFCs and MECs by various graphene related composites have been reviewed, which will provide an efficient guide for selecting suitable graphene material to modify electrodes in MFCs and MECs for improving their performance.
