摘要: In the direction of generating value added chemicals from carbon dioxide (CO2) reduction through microbial electrosynthesis (MES), considering crucial impact electrode material for biofilm development and electron delivery, an attempt was made in this study to evaluate efficiency two different materials as biocathodes their respective output terms electrosynthesis. The is a key component MES process. Several electrodes such platinum, graphite foil, dimentionally stable anode (DSA) rod, VITO-CoRE™ derived were tested suitability ideal combination three cell setup. Bicarbonates (the dissolved form CO2) reduced acetate by selectively developed biocathode under mild applied cathodic potential −400 mV (vs. SHE) 500 mL single chamber cells operating more than four months. Among combinations evaluated, VITO-CoRE™-PL (VC-IS, plastic inert support) cathode VITO-CoRE™-SS (VC-SS, stainless steel metal counter showed higher production (4127 mg L−1) with volumetric rate 0.569 kg per m3 d rod (1523 0.206 d. Contrary efficiencies, coulombic second (40.43%) first (29.91%). Carbon conversion VC-IS (90.6%) (82.0%).
