Electrolytic cell and method of use thereof

This device is an electrolytic cell that uses electricity to break down substances in a liquid. Its unique feature is that it employs microorganisms, such as bacteria, attached to its electrical plates to help the process. These microorganisms are specifically used to break down compounds like volatile fatty acids.

Why it matters: Since 2010, significant advancements in microbial electrochemistry and electrode materials have made bio-electrochemical systems more efficient. This could simplify the engineering challenges of integrating microorganisms for targeted decomposition and gas production.
