Bioelectrochemical element conversion reactions towards generation of energy and value-added chemicals

In the past decades, the bioelectrochemical system (BES) has developed into a versatile platform to sustain the conversion of various substances for the generation of energy and energy-efficient production of chemicals. Taking advantage of microbial extracellular electron transfer, the BES is able to perform a variety of value-added element conversion reactions, including production of electric energy from organic carbon, synthesis of chemicals...
