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 …

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

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

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 …

Proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) underpins energy conversion in chemistry and
biology. Four energy systems are described whose discoveries are based on PCET: the …

Electroactive microorganisms (EAMs) are ubiquitous in nature and have attracted
considerable attention as they can be used for energy recovery and environmental …

Extracellular electron transfer (EET) is the physiological process that enables the reduction
or oxidation of molecules and minerals beyond the surface of a microbial cell. The first …

The development in urbanization, growth in industrialization and deficiency in crude oil
wealth has made to focus more for the renewable and also sustainable spotless energy …

Electrons can be transferred from microorganisms to multivalent metal ions that are
associated with minerals and vice versa. As the microbial cell envelope is neither physically …

Electroactive microorganisms acting as microbial electrocatalysts have intrinsic metabolisms
that mediate a redox potential difference between solid electrodes and microbes, leading to …
