Abstract
A sediment microbial fuel cell is provided. More specifically, the present invention provides a sediment microbial fuel cell characterized by comprising: an oxide electrode unit located within the sediment of polluted water; a reduction electrode unit located adjacent to the water surface within the water; and a solid matter separator unit arranged inside the sediment and located in an upper part of the oxide electrode unit spaced apart from the oxide electrode unit, wherein one or more surfaces of the oxide electrode unit are exposed in the separation space formed by the solid matter separator unit.
