چکیده
Microbial Electrosynthesis electrosynthesis holds the promise of sustainable chemical production. In article number 2203480, Guillermo C. Bazan and co-workers show that 3D living biocomposites integrating electroactive bacteria with an n-type conjugated polyelectrolyte allow efficient long-range electron transfer from electrode to cells, thereby enabling microbial electrosynthesis. The one-step self-assembly process offers a simple effective strategy improve bioelectrochemical systems.

Operational and technical considerations for microbial electrosynthesis.
Extracellular electron transfer has, in one decade, emerged from an environmental phenomenon to an industrial process driver. On the one hand, electron transfer towards anodes leads to production of power or chemicals such as hydrogen, caustic soda and hydrogen peroxide. On the other hand, electron transfer from cathodes enables bioremediation and bioproduction. Although the microbiology of ext...
متن کاملSimplifying microbial electrosynthesis reactor design
Microbial electrosynthesis, an artificial form of photosynthesis, can efficiently convert carbon dioxide into organic commodities; however, this process has only previously been demonstrated in reactors that have features likely to be a barrier to scale-up. Therefore, the possibility of simplifying reactor design by both eliminating potentiostatic control of the cathode and removing the membran...

متن کاملMetamaterials: Snapping Mechanical Metamaterials under Tension (Adv. Mater. 39/2015).
By exploiting snap-through instabilities, D. Pasini and co-workers design a damage-tolerant mechanical metamaterial that snaps sequentially under tension, thereby accommodating a very large deformation up to 150%. On page 5931, they describe how the nonlinear mechanical response of the metamaterial can be robustly programmed by tuning the architecture of its unit cell.
متن کاملMetabolic and practical considerations on microbial electrosynthesis.
The production of biofuels and biochemicals is highly electron intensive. To divert fermentative and respiratory pathways to the product of interest, additional electrons (i.e. reducing power) are often needed. Meanwhile, the past decade has seen the breakthrough of sustainable electricity sources such as solar and wind. Microbial electrosynthesis (MES) is at the nexus of both, as it uses elect...
