Bioelectrocatalysis

The 1st Edition of Bioelectrocatalysis delivers a thorough introduction to biological electron transport and its implementation in contemporary devices. Written by Shelley D. Minteer and Matteo Grattieri, this book introduces the fundamental concepts of enzymatic electrocatalysis as well as microbial electrocatalysis. The volume aims to support advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, academic researchers, and industrial scientists who require a structured understanding of electrode-driven biological reactions.

The text examines operational differences between direct bioelectrocatalysis and mediated bioelectrocatalysis across distinct system architectures. In doing so, it evaluates reaction kinetics and ongoing scientific challenges in extracellular electron transfer that influence how biological entities interact with electrode surfaces.

Further coverage highlights practical energy storage and generation platforms, featuring dedicated chapters on biofuel cells and biosolar cells. This material prepares upper-level students, graduate researchers, and industrial scientists to analyze performance parameters, efficiency constraints, and structural design requirements for modern bioelectrochemical devices.
