CO2 can be converted into organic acids and carotenoids by photoautotrophic bacteria in the MES reactor. Introducing cobalt-phosphate-assisted water oxidation at the anode can improve the performance of MES.
CO2 can be a next generation feedstock for electricity-driven bioproduction due to its abundance and availability. Microbial electrosynthesis (MES), a promising technique for CO2 electroconversion, provides an attractive route for the production of valuable products from CO2, but issues surrounding efficiency and reasonable productivity should be resolved. Improving the anode performance for water oxidation under neutral pH is one of the most important aspects to advance current MES. Here, we introduce cobalt-phosphate (Co-Pi) assisted water oxidation at the counter electrode (i.e., anode) to upgrade the MES performance at pH 7.0. We show that CO2 can be converted by photochemoautotrophic bacterium, Rhodobacter sphaeroides into organic acids and carotenoids in the MES reactor. Planktonic cells of R. sphareroides in the Co-Pi anode equipped MES reactor was ca. 1.5-fold higher than in the control condition (w/o Co-Pi). The faradaic efficiency of the Co-Pi anode equipped MES reactor was remarkably higher (58.3%) than that of the bare anode (27.8%). While the system can improve the CO2 electroconversion nonetheless there are some further optimizations are necessary.
