TL;DR: A stoichiometric and thermodynamic model is delved into that sheds light on the effect of substrate ratios and environmental conditions on product formation and was reviewed to bring together research from different fields.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the plant microbial fuel cell (plantMFC), a concept that exploits a bioenergy source in situ, where plants and bacteria were present to convert solar energy into green electricity.

TL;DR: Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) are unique systems capable of converting chemical energy into electrical energy (and vice-versa) while employing microbes as catalysts.

TL;DR: CO2 reduction to multi-carbon compounds at the cathode using chemolithoautotrophs is an emerging application of microbial electrosynthesis (MES) and hydrogen evolution is potentially the rapid way of transferring electrons to the biocatalysts for higher bioproduction rates.

TL;DR: This mini review focuses on technological aspects of the expanding application of BESs and analyzes the anode and cathode half-reactions in terms of their standard and actual potential and reports the overpotentials of these half- reactions by comparing the reported potentials with their theoretical potentials.
