Graphene-based bioelectrochemical systems for simultaneous water and soil remediation

Researchers from India and the U.S have examined the application of nitrogen-doped reduced graphene oxide (NRGO) sponge electrodes within bioelectrochemical systems (BES) for simultaneous water and soil remediation. This approach addresses critical limitations in conventional disinfection and decontamination techniques, which often involve high energy consumption, extensive chemical usage, and the formation of secondary pollutants such as perchlorates and chlorinated byproducts.
