Advances in Dental Materials through Nanotechnology: Facts, Perspectives and Toxicological Aspects.

abstract：:Bioelectrochemical power-to-gas (BEP2G) is considered a potentially convenient way of storing renewable surplus electricity in the form of methane. In methane-producing bioelectrochemical systems (BESs), carbon dioxide and electrical energy are converted into methane, using electrodes that supply either electrons or h...
