978-3-527-34808-4 (ISBN)
Ein modernes Lehrbuch, das detailliert die grundlegenden Aspekte der Elektrochemie und bioelektroanalytischer Methoden darstellt, mit einem Schwerpunkt auf mikrobieller elektrochemischer Technologie. Das Werk beschreibt praktische Experimente und enthält Lösungen für konkrete Probleme, um einen leichten Einstieg in das Fachgebiet zu ermöglichen.
The first dedicated textbook in the expanding field of microbial / bio-electrochemistry. Provides an easy entry point and the needed background of (microbial) electrochemistry to advanced students.
A subfield of Bioelectrochemistry, Microbial Electrochemistry studies the interaction of living microbial organisms with electrically active surfaces (e.g. electrodes). The field offers huge potential, and technological applications of these bioelectrochemical systems include the generation of power ((Photo-)Microbial Fuel Cells), and the synthesis of chemicals / feedstock / fuels ((Photo-)Microbial Electrosynthesis or Electrolysis) among others.
This textbook details the essential basics of electrochemistry for students and researchers in the interdisciplinary field of microbial electrochemistry and Technology. It covers the required physical-chemical fundamentals of electrochemistry and bioelectroanalytical methods with an emphasis on the specific aspects of microbial electrochemical systems and technologies.
This very accessible book is packed with illustrative examples, calculations and practical experiments. It is the ideal entry point to students and instructors with an interest in microbial electrochemistry.
Prof. Dr. Falk Harnisch is an internationally recognized expert on the interface of electrochemistry and microbiology. He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed papers, and is the recipient of several awards (UFZ-Research-Award, Helmholtz Young Investigators Group by the Helmholtz Association and the UFZ; Research Award Next generation biotechnological processes by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)). He is the co-editor of 'Bioelectrosynthesis', published in 2019, and holds 4 patents in the field. He was promoted to Full Professor in 'Electrobiotechnology' in 2016 at Leipzig University, and is head of the electrobiotechnology group at the UFZ since October 2019.
