Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are promising ecofriendly techniques for harvesting bioenergy
from organic and inorganic matter. Currently, it is challenging to design MFC anodes with …

While early genetic and low-resolution structural observations suggested that extracellular
conductive filaments on metal-reducing organisms such as Geobacter were composed of …

Soft and hard materials at interfaces exhibit mismatched behaviors, such as mismatched
chemical or biochemical reactivity, mechanical response, and environmental adaptability …

Extracellular electron transfer via filamentous protein appendages called 'microbial
nanowires' has long been studied in Geobacter and other bacteria because of their crucial …

Intrinsically conductive protein nanowires, microbially produced from inexpensive,
renewable feedstocks, are a sustainable alternative to traditional nanowire electronic …

Electroactive biofilms (EABs) are electroactive microorganisms (EAMs) encased in
conductive polymers that are secreted by EAMs and formed by the accumulation and cross …

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are a technology that can be applied to both the wastewater
treatment and bioenergy generation. This work discusses the contribution of improvements …

Proteins achieve efficient energy storage and conversion through electron transfer along a
series of redox cofactors. Multiheme cytochromes are notable examples. These proteins …

Biology leverages a range of electrical phenomena to extract and store energy, control
molecular reactions and enable multicellular communication. Microbes, in particular, have …

Typical reactions in bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) promote the phenomenon of the pH
split between anode and cathode. The pH split results in an undesirable phenomenon which …
