This first-attempt study used extracts of appropriate antioxidant abundant Camellia and non-Camellia tea and medicinal herbs as model electron shuttles (ESs) to stably augment bioelectricity generation performance in microbial fuel cells (MFCs). As ESs (or redox mediators) could stimulate electron transport phenomena by considerable reduction of electron transfer resistance, the efficiency of power generation for energy extraction in microbial fuel cells (MFCs) could be appreicably augmented
