Summary: In this study, an electroactive biofilm was established on a polyaniline @ carbon nanotube (PANI@CNT) electrode to investigate the changes in membrane structure and activity when switching from MFC mode to MEC mode. The results showed that after the switch, the height, area proportion of microbial cells, and amount of living cells of the biofilm all significantly increased. Moreover, the PANI@CNT-MEC exhibited a high toluene elimination capacity due to enhanced toluene adsorption, low-resistance mass transport, and enriched functional microorganisms.

Summary: The application of magnetite-nanoparticles and a microbial fuel cell (MFC) on anaerobic digestion (AD) of sewage sludge was studied. The results showed that the digester with a resistor of 500 ohm performed the best in terms of biogas production, electrochemical efficiency, voltage generation, and contaminant removal. This digester also had the highest annual energy profit. The findings suggest that the use of magnetite-nanoparticles and MFC in AD of sewage sludge holds great promise for biogas production and contaminant removal.

Summary: In this study, a binary electroactive material with pseudocapacitance/conductance was designed to store-release electrons and enhance direct electron transfer between acid-producing bacteria and methanogens in anaerobic wastewater treatment. The pseudocapacitance of the material promoted ATP synthesis and provided energy for organic decomposition, while the conductance facilitated direct interspecies electron transfer and improved methane production. The material also helped buffer excess electrons and alleviate pH drop. These findings provide a strategy to enhance electron transfer in anaerobic treatment and guide the design of electroactive materials.

Summary: Microbial fuel cell (MFC) is a promising alternative energy system that converts chemical energy into electricity with the help of microorganisms. It consists of electrodes (anode and cathode), catalyst (microorganism), and proton transport/exchange membrane (PEM). MFC's core function is the oxidation of organic substrates and electron transfer, with key factors being microorganisms and electrodes. Besides electricity generation, MFC also finds applications in wastewater treatment, biofuel production, and biosensors.

Summary: V/LiF is an important window material for investigating phase transition of materials under ultra-high pressure, which is a fundamental issue in condensed matter physics. However, the large mismatch in lattice and thermal properties makes vanadium growth on LiF a big challenge. In this study, over 1.5 μm thick vanadium films were successfully grown on LiF using facing target sputtering (FTS), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observation revealed vertically well-aligned columnar crystals with numerous micro-sized gaps in the grown vanadium films. Particle-in-cell Monte Carlo collision (PIC-MCC) and Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) methods were used to simulate plasma discharge behavior, sputtered atom transport, and film growth to understand the deposition mechanism. A growth model of the vanadium film was established based on experimental and simulation results, and the micro-sized gaps in the columnar crystals were found to contribute to the release of residual stresses caused by the large mismatch, which can be explained by the grain boundary relaxation model.

The results showed that the addition of brown sugar significantly reduced ammonium and nitrite nitrogen concentrations and improved nutrient removal rates. Furthermore, the addition of brown sugar also resulted in lower feed conversion ratio and higher shrimp survival rates. The dominant microbial phyla identified in all treatments played a crucial role in nutrient cycling and promoting water quality.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of the non-antibiotic pharmaceutical carbamazepine on antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) during anaerobic digestion. The results showed that carbamazepine induced the enrichment of ARGs and increased the abundance of bacteria carrying these genes. It also facilitated microbial aggregation and intercellular communication, leading to an increased frequency of ARGs transmission. Moreover, carbamazepine promoted the acquisition of ARGs by pathogens and elevated their overall abundance.

Summary: This paper developed a machine learning model to predict the biochemical methane potential during anaerobic digestion. Model analysis identified lignin content, organic loading, and nitrogen content as key attributes for methane production prediction. For feedstocks with high cellulose content, early methane production is lower but can be improved by prolonging digestion time. Moreover, lignin content exceeding a certain value significantly inhibits methane production.
