Minerals are widely assumed to protect organic matter (OM) from degradation in the
environment, promoting the persistence of carbon in soil and sediments. In this Review, we …

Presently, conventional technologies in water treatment are not efficient enough to
completely mineralize refractory water contaminants. In this context, the implementation of …

Biogeochemical cycling of iron is crucial to many environmental processes, such as ocean
productivity, carbon storage, greenhouse gas emissions and the fate of nutrients, toxic …

Iron (Fe) is the fourth most abundant element in the earth's crust and plays important roles in
both biological and chemical processes. The redox reactivity of various Fe (II) forms has …

The microbial fuel cell (MFC) technology has attracted significant attention in the last years
due to its potential to recover energy in a wastewater treatment. The idea of using an MFC in …

Bioelectrocatalysis is an interdisciplinary research field combining biocatalysis and
electrocatalysis via the utilization of materials derived from biological systems as catalysts to …

Interfacial reactions drive all elemental cycling on Earth and play pivotal roles in human
activities such as agriculture, water purification, energy production and storage …

A vast array of microorganisms from all three domains of life can produce electrical current
and transfer electrons to the anodes of different types of bioelectrochemical systems. These …

The low efficiency and stability of anaerobic digestion (AD) has always hindered its wide
application. The accumulation of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) cause acidification and inhibition …

Extracellular electron transfer (EET) describes microbial bioelectrochemical processes in
which electrons are transferred from the cytosol to the exterior of the cell. Mineral-respiring …
