Abstract
The emergence and pervasiveness of micropollutants triggering adverse environmental effects have raised global concerns. The specific physicochemical properties of micropollutants add difficulties to efficient degradation in biotechnological applications. Unique microbe–material interfaces as a multidisciplinary methodology provide sufficient reaction sites, attractive adsorption capability, and compact bonds for microbial communication, benefiting the removal of micropollutants. This chapter reviews scientific endeavors to develop microbe–material interfaces and demonstrates several promising strategies for micropollutant decontamination. Selected examples of exemplary works are presented for a discussion and explanation of associated mechanisms. Future research directions are included within the scope of this chapter to advance progress in critical applications in environmental fields.
