A bioelectrochemical assisted sludge treatment wetland (BE-STW) is a promising technology used in the elimination of organic compounds and recovery of bio-energy. In this study, four BE-STW systems were constructed to investigate the effects of some substrates (i.e. graphite particles, zeolite, ceramsite, and gravel) on organic compounds biodegradation and transformation, electricity production, and anodic bacterial community. The maximum output voltages were 0.939, 0.870, 0.741 and 0.835 V, and the maximum power densities were 0.467, 0.143, 0.110, and 0.131 W/m3for the graphite particles (BS-GP), zeolite (BS-Z), ceramsite (BS–C), and gravel (BS-G) systems, respectively. Also, the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal rates were 61.84%, 28.54%, 25.56%, and 18.34% in BS-GP, BS-G, BS-Z, and BS-C, respectively. The degradation of aromatic compounds in sludge extracellular biological organic matter (EBOM) was mainly due to the decrease of hydrophilic fraction (HPI) and transphilic acid fraction (TPI-A) contents. Moreover, aromatic proteins were preferentially removed in BS-Z. For BS-C, the tyrosine-like proteins and humic acid-like substances in TPI-A were totally removed. An excitation-emission matrix (EEM) analysis showed that the fluorescent intensity of the humic acid-like substances was the lowest in BS-GP, and no fluorescence peaks of fulvic acid-like substances were observed. Finally, at the genus level,Longilinea,Terrimonas,Ottowia, andSaccharibacteria_genera_incertae_sediswere the dominant bacteria in BE-STW, andMethylophiluswas also only detected in BS-GP. These results confirmed that substrate materials have a significant impact on the preferentially degraded organic matter in BE-STWs, which can provide a theoretical basis for the practical application of STW in the future.
