چکیده
The surface area of a graphite electrode used in this study was incorrectly reported. The brush fiber exposed surface area was 0.12 m 2 (not 740 m 2), which was 100 times larger than the graphite block projected surface area (10.6 cm 2).

Comparison of Nonprecious Metal Cathode Materials for Methane Production by Electromethanogenesis
In methanogenic microbial electrolysis cells (MMCs), CO2 is reduced to methane using a methanogenic biofilm on the cathode by either direct electron transfer or evolved hydrogen. To optimize methane generation, we examined several cathode materials: plain graphite blocks, graphite blocks coated with carbon black or carbon black containing metals (platinum, stainless steel or nickel) or insolubl...
متن کاملDirect biological conversion of electrical current into methane by electromethanogenesis.
New sustainable methods are needed to produce renewable energy carriers that can be stored and used for transportation, heating, or chemical production. Here we demonstrate that methane can directly be produced using a biocathode containing methanogens in electrochemical systems (abiotic anode) or microbial electrolysis cells (MECs; biotic anode) by a process called electromethanogenesis. At a ...
متن کاملOn the Edge of Research and Technological Application: A Critical Review of Electromethanogenesis
The conversion of electrical current into methane (electromethanogenesis) by microbes represents one of the most promising applications of bioelectrochemical systems (BES). Electromethanogenesis provides a novel approach to waste treatment, carbon dioxide fixation and renewable energy storage into a chemically stable compound, such as methane. This has become an important area of research since...
متن کاملFacile and Gram-scale Synthesis of Metal-free Catalysts: Toward Realistic Applications for Fuel Cells
Although numerous reports on nonprecious metal catalysts for replacing expensive Pt-based catalysts have been published, few of these studies have demonstrated their practical application in fuel cells. In this work, we report graphitic carbon nitride and carbon nanofiber hybrid materials synthesized by a facile and gram-scale method via liquid-based reactions, without the use of toxic material...
