Microfluidic devices for sustainable energy and spectroelectrochemistry

Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) integrate biology and electrochemistry to generate electricity or synthesize chemicals. Microbial fuel cells (MFCs), a key type of BES, oxidize organic matter in wastewater to produce electricity, with electrogenic bacteria acting as biocatalysts for electron transfer to solid electrodes. Their primary applications are wastewater treatment and electricity production.
