“…Synthesis and design of new electrode materials, purposely built with bioelectrochemical applications in mind is only very recent. 6,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] The classical approach in research on prospective electrode materials aims at increasing the active surface area available for biofilm growth. On the other hand, another strategy aims at designing materials with specific properties that will improve the bacteria-electrode interaction, especially the rate of electron transfer, to enhance the activity of the biofilms.…”

“…Recently, several authors have reported the coating of different scaffold materials with carbon nanotube inks and produced promising current densities. [14][15][16][17][18]31 In an innovative approach to avoid the need of coating surfaces with CNT, a new method was recently developed to directly grow carbon nanotube networks on any type of substrate. This is achieved by modifying the generally employed route of chemical vapour deposition (CVD) synthesis.…”

“…12 Until the early 2000s, the majority of microbial fuel cells in the literature required a small molecule redox mediator to transfer electrons between the electrode and microbes, but it has been found that some microbes can transfer their electrons directly to electrodes without the use of a small molecule redox mediator. 13 In recent years, microbial fuel cells have been proposed for wastewater treatment, 14 as well, because different types of bacteria are capable of remediating different water contaminants. For instance, Shewanella bacterial electrodes have been studied for oxidizing carbohydrate contaminants to carbon dioxide, Enterobacter bacterial electrodes have been for consuming hexavalent chromium contaminants, and Gluconobacter modified electrodes have been studied for consuming alcoholic contaminants (i.e.…”
