- Abstract
Reduction of CO2 to fuels and industrial chemicals with bioelectrochemical system has been widely studied. This review focuses on recent development in methane production from CO2 with bioelectrochemical systems, which includes the functional microbe used in cathode, the mechanism of conversing CO2 to methanewith bioelectrochemical systems, and the influence factors of the conversion of CO2 to methane as well as the reactors of bioelectrochemical systems. After that, problems of conversing CO2 to methane with bioelectrochemical system are analyzed, and the directions of future research are also discussed. This review aims to motivate and inspire further research for the conversing CO2 to methane with bioelectrochemical systems.
