Sludge treatment wetland (STW) has been widely used to dewater and mineralize the various sludge, but the low degradation ability of organic matter can limit its application. Bioelectrochemistry has been proven to accelerate the degradation of organic compounds and recover bioenergy from the sludge. In this study, a bioelectrochemical-assisted sludge treatment wetland (BE-STW) system was constructed to determine the most common types of degraded organic matter and the functional bacterial community. It was found that the bioelectrochemistry process contributed to a further removal of the total chemical oxygen demand (TCOD) by 19% (±0.6) and the additional soluble chemical oxygen demand (SCOD) value was 64.10% (±0.63), with a voltage output of 0.961 V and a power density of 0.351 W/m3. The hydrophilic and hydrophobic acid fractions of the sludge were preferentially removed in BE-STW. The tryptophan-like protein and fulvic acid-like substances were totally removed, whereas, the hydrolysis of aromatic organic compounds in the neutral and hydrophobic acid fractions was enhanced. Also, the enrichment ofLongilineaandMethylophilusimproved the hydrolysis of organic matter. Moreover, the high relative abundance ofThauera,Dechloromonas, andSyntrophorhabduscould accelerate the degradation of aromatic compounds in the BE-STW system. The bacteria from the genusGeobacterwas predominantly detected (2.48%) in the anodic biofilm on BE-STW. The results showed that bioelectrochemistry could improve the sludge stabilization degree in STW, accelerate the organic matter degradation and hydrolysis efficiency, and harvest bioelectricity, simultaneously. This technology can provide a new pathway to increase the efficiency of the traditional STW systems.
