The interdisciplinary approach &#8211; combining molecular biology, electrochemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering and environmental science &#8211; applied in this research allowed for new advances in bioelectrochemical processes that could hardly be obtained in a disciplinary investigation.<\/p>\n<p>The results have a potential positive impact on society, to the extent that the new technology developed in the thesis can contribute to enable socio-environmental public policies with multiple gains, which would allow to associate advances in basic sanitation, a historical demand in Brazil, with the generation of electricity from wastewater and also demonstrate the feasibility of a new technology for generating clean and renewable energy combined with the treatment of organic and inorganic compounds in wastewater. The use of low-cost electrodes for the power generation process is also a promising result.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about the CAPES Thesis Award 2021<\/p>\n<p>(text originally published at: http:\/\/www5.each.usp.br\/premios\/tese-desenvolvida-na-each-recebe-o-premio-capes-de-tese-edicao-2021\/)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The thesis &#8220;Energy generation in a new microbial fuel cell: characterization and dynamics of microbial [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":22308,"featured_media":1668,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1667","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-destaca","category-seminars"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.usp.br\/sustentabilidade\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1667","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.usp.br\/sustentabilidade\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.usp.br\/sustentabilidade\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.usp.br\/sustentabilidade\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/22308"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.usp.br\/sustentabilidade\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1667"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/sites.usp.br\/sustentabilidade\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1667\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1673,"href":"https:\/\/sites.usp.br\/sustentabilidade\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1667\/revisions\/1673"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.usp.br\/sustentabilidade\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.usp.br\/sustentabilidade\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.usp.br\/sustentabilidade\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.usp.br\/sustentabilidade\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
