Presentation Summary

Described here are Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) - processes in which microorganisms are used to catalyze electrode reactions
Microbial electrode catalysts are appealing for their self-maintaining ability, resulting from the metabolic benefit they derive by the electrode reactions they catalyze, enabling prolonged utilization without degradation of catalytic activity
Potential applications include oxidation of biomass for renewable energy and wastewater treatment, reduction of carbon dioxide for fuel generation and bioremediation applications, and generation of power with integrated energy storage from sunlight.
