Description
An authoritative resource introducing the fundamentals of enzymatic and microbial electrocatalysis
In Bioelectrocatalysis: From Electron Transfer Processes to Emerging Technological Applications, a team of distinguished researchers delivers an up-to-date discussion of fundamental concepts in bioelectrocatalysis and its applications. The authors offer a comprehensive treatment of the foundations of bioelectrocatalysis. Beginning with a comparison of enzymatic and microbial electrocatalysis, the book goes on to explore the differences between direct and mediated bioelectrocatalysis and the challenges presented by promoting extracellular electron transfer.
Bioelectrocatalysis presents detailed and accurate information on the approaches and techniques used to study the electron transfer processes and to confirm the type of electron transfer taking place. Readers will also find chapters dedicated to common and emerging applications of bioelectrocatalysis, including glucometers and glucose monitors, biosensors, and biofuel cells.
Inside the book:
- A thorough introduction to electron transfer in enzymatic bioelectrocatalysis
- Comprehensive explorations of glucometers, continuous glucose monitors, ex-situ biosensors, biofuel cells, and biosolar cells
- Practical discussions of microbial electrochemical technologies for used water treatment
- Complete treatments of electrosynthesis and wearable and implantable devices
Perfect for academic researchers and industrial scientists working in (bio)electrochemistry, catalysis, and chemical synthesis, energy materials, and sensors, Bioelectrocatalysis will also benefit advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying in any of those fields.
