| Abstract | Redox potential gradients and electron fluxes are inherent ingredients of electrochemical energy conversion systems. They also play a major role in natural ecosystems from the sub-microscopic to the macroscopic scale. Ultimately, they can be considered to form the fundament of biological energy conversion and thus for all life forms. We discuss that bioelectrochemical processes play an immanent role in nature. Exploiting the tools provided by evolution, such as electrochemically active bacteria and extracellular electron transfer, for microbial electrochemical technologies, thus does not represent a scientific peculiarity. It is a consequent use of nature’s blueprints for the development of sustainable energy conversion and bio- and environmental technologies. |
