Synergistic induced charge transfer switch by oxygen vacancy and pyrrolic nitrogen in MnFe2O4/g-C3N4 heterojunctions for efficient transformation of bicarbonate to acetate in photo-assisted MES

Weifeng Kong et al.

Summary: In this study, a photo-assisted microbial electrosynthesis system was constructed using a urea-treated MnFe2O4/g-C3N4 cathode and nonphotosynthetic bacteria Serratia marcescens Q1. The system efficiently converted inorganic carbon into acetate with a high coulombic efficiency over a period of 24 days. The remarkable photocatalytic performance of the MnFe2O4/g-C3N4 heterojunction was attributed to the switch in charge transfer mechanism induced by oxygen vacancies and pyrrolic N after urea treatment.

CuO/g-C3N4/rGO multifunctional photocathode with simultaneous enhancement of electron transfer and substrate mass transfer facilitates microbial electrosynthesis of acetate

Tao Li et al.

Summary: A novel CuO/g-C3N4/rGO multifunctional photocatalyst was developed and applied in a microbial electrosynthesis (MES) system using mixed culture as a biocatalyst. The introduction of rGO enhanced light absorption capacity and improved electron-hole separation migration efficiency. CuO/g-C3N4/rGO was beneficial for enriching electroautotrophic microorganisms and increasing the abundance of specific bacteria. The study provides insights for the design of multifunctional photocathodes to reduce energy consumption and improve MES efficiency.
