Abstract

Bioelectrochemical system (BES) is a unique technology that uses microorganisms to covert the chemical energy stored in biodegradable materials to direct electric current. Compared to traditional chemical and environmental technologies, BES offers a flexible platform for both oxidation and reduction reaction oriented processes, because any biodegradable substrate, especially waste materials, can be oxidized in the anode chamber, and the generated current can be directly harvested as electricity or used to produce value-added chemicals, desalinate salt water, and remediate contaminants. This chapter reviews the microbiological and technological principles of the BES technology and discusses the different functions and recent developments of systems.
