Why is it important?
Environmental pollution from industrialization impacts the atmosphere, water, and soil significantly. Treating water, wastewater, and soil is a crucial social, economic, and political issue. Electrochemistry plays a vital role in environmental preservation and sustainable development.
Perspectives
Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) convert organic contaminants in wastewater into electricity and valuable compounds. BES play a crucial role in sustainable technology for power production and wastewater treatment. BES have potential applications in wastewater treatment, bioremediation, and by-product reclamation.
