An introduction to the fundamental concepts and rules in bioelectrochemistry and explores latest advancements in the field
Bioelectrochemical Interface Engineering
offers a guide to this burgeoning interdisciplinary field. The
authors―noted experts on the topic―present a detailed explanation of the
field’s basic concepts, provide a fundamental understanding of the
principle of electrocatalysis, electrochemical activity of the
electroactive microorganisms, and mechanisms of electron transfer at
electrode-electrolyte interfaces. They also explore the design and
development of bioelectrochemical systems.
The authors review
recent advances in the field including: the development of new
bioelectrochemical configurations, new electrode materials, electrode
functionalization strategies, and extremophilic electroactive
microorganisms. These current developments hold the promise of powering
the systems in remote locations such as deep sea and extra-terrestrial
space as well as powering implantable energy devices and controlled drug
delivery. This important book:
• Explores the fundamental concepts and rules in bioelectrochemistry and details the latest advancements
•
Presents principles of electrocatalysis, electroactive microorganisms,
types and mechanisms of electron transfer at electrode-electrolyte
interfaces, electron transfer kinetics in bioelectrocatalysis, and more
•
Covers microbial electrochemical systems and discusses
bioelectrosynthesis and biosensors, and bioelectrochemical wastewater
treatment
• Reviews microbial biosensor, microfluidic and
lab-on-chip devices, flexible electronics, and paper and stretchable
electrodes
Written for researchers, technicians, and students in chemistry, biology, energy and environmental science, Bioelectrochemical Interface Engineering provides a strong foundation to this advanced field by presenting the core concepts, basic principles, and newest advances.
