Customizable design strategies for high-performance bioanodes in bioelectrochemical systems.

ABSTRACT: Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) can fulfill the demand for renewable energy and wastewater treatment but still face significant challenges to improve their overall performance. Core efforts have been made to enhance the bioelectrode performance, yet, previous approaches are fragmented and have limited applicability, unable to flexibly adjust physicochemical and structural properties of electrodes for specific requirements in various applications. Here, we propose a facile electrode design strategy that integrates three-dimensional printing technology and functionalized modular electrode materials. A customized graphene-based electrode with hierarchical pores and functionalized components (i.e., ferric ions and magnetite nanoparticles) was fabricated. Owing to efficient mass and electron
