Abstract

Dr Nicolas Mano is a Senior Researcher at Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal, France. His research interests include (bio)electrochemistry, biosensors, biofuel cells, enzymes engineering, and the use of carbonaceous materials for electrodes. His aim is to develop approaches where biochemical fuels can be converted into electricity and applied into bioelectrochemical applications. In this conversation, he is discussing the advancements in the field of biofuel cells in the past ten years and look ahead at future developments.

Key findings

  • Bioelectrochemical cells can be used for wastewater treatment, biofuel production, and as biosensors.
  • The cells' performance is affected by factors such as electrode material, microbial community, and operating conditions.
  • Future research should focus on scaling up bioelectrochemical cells for practical applications and addressing environmental and economic challenges.
