Abstract
Front Cover: How Comparable are Microbial Electrochemical Systems around the Globe? An Electrochemical and Microbiological Cross‐Laboratory Study (ChemSusChem 11/2021)
Highlights
Microbial electrochemical technologies (MET) promise great innovation in different fields, such as environmental pollution remediation, low power generation, biosensing, synthesis of new products and medicine.[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12] the transfer from laboratory experimentation to field application is still challenging
The startup time for the microbial fuel cells (MFCs) run at UNM, TUB and UFZ were fast, approximately one cycle (Figure S1) and at cycle 2 there was no statistical difference between maximum voltages obtained by TUB, UNM and UFZ
The voltage produced by RSE-MFCs and CNR-MFCs was negligible, or very low, during the two-cycle acclimation period
Summary
Microbial electrochemical technologies (MET) promise great innovation in different fields, such as environmental pollution remediation, low power generation, biosensing, synthesis of new products and medicine.[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12] the transfer from laboratory experimentation to field application is still challenging. But not exhaustively, these technologies take advantage of a synergistic combination of well-known electrochemical and microbiological processes, needed to be mastered requires expertise of rarely a common background.[3] In the last decades, the study of microbial fuel cells (MFCs) as a model for primary MET greatly helped in acknowledging the necessity of a common knowledge and methodologies,[12] the spent efforts were only partially successful.
