Abstract:Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) has emerged as a sustainable energy platform capable of simultaneous wastewater treatment and valuable chemical production. The performance of MES, like other bioelectrochemical systems, largely depends on its electrode (cathode), providing the platform for microbial growth as well as electron transfer. However, most of the electrodes are expensive, and their nonrenewable characteristics, cost, and poisoning nature are major bottlenecks in MES commercialization. Thus, several e… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
