Microbial Electrochemical Systems with Future Perspectives using Advanced Nanomaterials and Microfluidics

Microbial electrochemical systems are intensively discussed as new devices for producing energy or chemicals. In the last years progress in the terms of efficiency and applicability has been achieved. However the potential influence of nanotechnological approaches in the design of such systems with future perspectives of using nanobiosystems as scalable systems have not been addressed. After discussing recent achievements in this field an outlook to the future development of corresponding technology is given, suggesting an interdisciplinary approach.
