This project aims to mitigate energy and environmental problems by fusing the fields of membrane separation, biocatalysis and electrochemistry. The novel single-enzyme biofuel cells can generate electrical power from processes like wastewater micropollutant degradation and flue gas carbon dioxide conversion. However, the bottleneck is the lifetime of enzymes and the lack of efficient reactor design. This project expects to overcome these challenges by developing metal-organic framework-based bioelectrode materials, and integrating them with separation membranes and single-enzyme fuel cells for energy generation. This project is expected to transform the current biocatalytic process for wastewater treatment and gas separation.

该项目旨在通过融合膜分离、生物催化和电化学领域来缓解能源和环境问题。这种新型的单酶生物燃料电池可以从废水微污染物降解和烟气二氧化碳转化等过程中产生电能。然而，瓶颈是酶的寿命和缺乏有效的反应器设计。本项目希望通过开发基于金属-有机骨架的生物电极材料，并将其与分离膜和单酶燃料电池相结合来发电，从而克服这些挑战。该项目有望改变目前用于废水处理和气体分离的生物催化工艺。
