Photosynthesis–Assisted Energy Generation From Fundamentals to Lab Scale and In–Field Applications

Describes the mechanisms of and potential for using microorganisms and plants as renewable power resources
Bridging the knowledge gap between the fundamentals and the technological advances in biological photosynthesis-assisted energy generation, Photosynthesis-Assisted Energy Generation explores the various diverse light-harvesting biological systems for electricity generation and explains the fundamentals and applications from lab-scale to in-field. The text discusses the fundamentals of electron transfer mechanisms in photosynthetic systems, basic principles of bioelectricity generation, and materials involved in the construction of fuel cells, including not only the impact of higher plants, but also anoxygenic and oxygenic photosynthetic bacteria and microalgae on the performance of photosynthesis-assisted power generation systems.
A timely resource, the text features case studies on emerging topics such as mosses in power generation on green roofs and photo-bioelectrochemical fuel cells for antibiotics and dyes removal, along with discussion of sustainability issues when scaling up bio-photo-electrochemical systems.
Edited by two highly qualified and accomplished academics with significant research experience in the field, Photosynthesis-Assisted Energy Generation includes information on:Role of functional materials involved in photosynthesis-assisted power generation and non-noble electrocatalysts as air cathodes in biocellsElectricity generation and intensified synthesis of nutrients by plant-based biofuel cells using duckweeds as biocatalystsAlgae-based microbial fuel cells, photosynthetic bacteria-based microbial fuel cells, and bryophyte microbial fuel cell systemsProgress and recent trends of application of low-energy consuming devices and IoT based on photosynthesis-assisted power generationPlant-based microbial fuel cells for bioremediation, biosensing, and plant health monitoringWith full coverage of an attractive renewable energy generation system, Photosynthesis-Assisted Energy Generation is an essential resource on the subject for researchers and scientists interested in alternative renewable energetics and photosynthesis-assisted energy generation processes utilizing microorganisms, algae, plants, and other bioinspired materials.
