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 bioelectrocatalysisComprehensive explorations of glucometers, continuous glucose monitors, ex-situ biosensors, biofuel cells, and biosolar cellsPractical discussions of microbial electrochemical technologies for used water treatmentComplete treatments of electrosynthesis and wearable and implantable devicesPerfect 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.
