Enhanced Microbial and Chemical Catalysis in Bio-electrochemical Systems

by Xian-Wei Liu

Overview

This study enhances microbial and chemical catalyses in bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) by designing and manufacturing new materials, elucidating the catalytic mechanisms, and applying them in wastewater treatment.

As a novel environmental biotechnology, BESs can be used for treating wastewater and generating power, producing value-added products, and detoxifying contaminants. However, the catalytic efficiency of the electrode reaction is low these systems.
