Modelling and optimisation of electrochemical and bioelectrochemical systems for environmental sustainability

Thesis

The growing depletion of fossil fuels and its associated environmental concerns have drawn significant attention. Recent research is oriented towards finding alternative renewable energies or the technologies used for the valorisation of carbon dioxide (CO2). In this context, bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) and electrochemical CO2 reduction reaction (ECO2RR) systems have emerged and rapidly developed. Yet, their applications face a number of challenges, mostly related to their poor perfo...
