The synchronous bioelectricity generation and dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA) pathway in Klebsiella variicola C1 was investigated. The presence of bioelectricity facilitated cell growth on the anodic biofilms, consequently enhancing the nitrate removal efficiency decreasing total nitrogen levels and causing a negligible accumulation of NO in the supernatant. Genomic analysis revealed that K.

Herein, a novel electrocatalyst has been investigated to produce formate (HCOOH) highly selectively during ECR by loading SnO@C onto cuprous sulphide (CuS) to form a triplet effect at the interface. Snowflake-like CuS significantly enhances the local concentration of carbon dioxide (CO) and promotes the binding of CO with SnO, and the addition of carbon spheres enhances the electron transport, which is beneficial to the conversion of CO to HCOOH products.

Here, a direct Z-scheme 2D/2D heterojunction of a FeO/BiWO photocatalyst is fabricated for the degradation of ciprofloxacin by a self-assembly strategy. Furthermore, to characterize the morphology of the obtained composite photocatalysts, various kinds of characterization methods were employed like XRD, XPS, SEM, and TEM.
