Microbial Electrochemical Technologies (METs) to recover valuable resources from wastes

Microbial Electrochemical Technologies (METs) include different novel processes which can directly convert the chemical energy of organics into a form of renewable energy such as electricity, hydrogen, and volatile acids or alcohols using a biocatalyst called exoelectrogens.

Alternative hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalysts for Microbial Electrolysis Cells (MECs)

Precious metal-based cathodes are known as the most-efficient catalyst for the HER but they are not practical considering their high cost. Alternative non-precious metal based catalysts need to be developed for practical application.

Electrochemical lithium recovery from low-grade salt lake brine

Advancing electrochemical Li recovery or concentrating processes for sustainable Li recycle or production.

Electrocoagulation (EC) to remove recalcitrant compounds

Electrocoagulation (EC) can produce metal hydroxide flocs (M(OH)n) in situ to adsorb various contaminants such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA, CF3(CF2)5COOH) which is a highly persistent compound in the environment.
