Abstract:
:The aim of this work was to study biologically reduced graphene oxide (RGO) for engineering the surface architecture of the bioelectrodes to improve the performance of Bioelectrochemical System (BES). Gluconobacter roseus mediates the reduction of graphene oxide (GO). The RGO modified bioelectrodes produced a current density of 1 mA/cm2 and 0.69 mA/cm2 with ethanol and glucose as substrates, respectively. The current density of RGO modified electrodes was nearly 10-times higher than the controls. This study, for the first time, reports a new strategy to improve the yield as well as efficiency of the BES by wrapping and wiring the electroactive microorganisms to the electrode surfaces using RGO. This innovative wrapping approach will decrease the loss of electrons in the microbe-electrolyte interfaces as well as increase the electron transfer rates at the microorganism-electrode interfaces.
