Composite Materials for Bio-Energy

In the present scenario of energy scarcity around the world and current geopolitical tensions have pushed the scientific community for green and renewable energy sources. Hunt for sustainability has tossed Bio-electrochemical systems for the bioenergy. These systems have wide applications ranging from wastewater treatment to bio-energy production. The present chapter explores the advancements in field of polymeric composites, their roles for various bioenergy applications. These polymeric materials are explored in the Bio-electrochemical systems as electrode materials for attachment of the biofilm over them, electron transportation for different end products at cathode. Also, these polymeric composites play a crucial role as proton exchange membranes and also anti-fouling agent for these membranes. This chapter also discusses Polymeric composites-based BES for wastewater treatment, waste management, contaminants removal, waste to energy etc.
