Bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) were introduced only about 15 years ago. Nevertheless, these systems have attracted considerable attention of the scientific and engineering communities as demonstrated by an exponentially growing number of publications and several scale-up attempts. Wastewater treatment was one of the first proposed BES applications and it remains at the focus of research efforts worldwide, as this technology perfectly fits future scenarios of renewable energy production. Advances in understanding the microbiology of BESs and improved electrode materials have led to orders-of-magnitude performance increase. Yet, both capital and operating costs of BES-based wastewater treatment systems remain high, thus requiring further research in improved process design and control.

生物电化学系统 (BES) 大约在 15 年前推出。尽管如此，这些系统已经引起了科学和工程界的广泛关注，出版物数量呈指数级增长和多次规模化尝试就证明了这一点。废水处理是最早提出的 BES 应用之一，并且仍然是全球研究工作的焦点，因为该技术完美地适合未来可再生能源生产的场景。对 BES 微生物学认识的进步和改进的电极材料导致了性能的数量级提高。然而，基于 BES 的废水处理系统的资本和运营成本仍然很高，因此需要进一步研究改进工艺设计和控制。
