Improved cathode materials for microbial electrosynthesis

Energy Environ. Sci., 2013
Microbial electrosynthesis is a promising strategy for the microbial conversion of carbon dioxide to transportation fuels and other organic commodities, but optimization of this process is required for commercialization. Cathodes which enhance electrode–microbe electron transfer might improve rates of product formation.

Energy‐Efficient, Sustainable Cascade Glucose Electrooxidation into Glucaric Acid

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents a tandem system that efficiently converts glucose into glucaric acid while generating renewable electricity. By decoupling the oxidation process into two cascaded steps, the system achieves an overall 90% Faradaic efficiency and 80% conversion efficiency at ∼0.6 VRHE, significantly reducing energy consumption compared to traditional
