Extracellular electron transfer (EET) allows microorganisms to perform anaerobic respiration using insoluble electron acceptors, including minerals and electrodes. EET-based applications require efficient electron transfer between living and non-living systems. To improve EET efficiency, the TiO@TiN nanocomposite was used to form hybrid biofilms with Shewanella loihica PV-4 (PV-4). Chronoamperometry showed that peak current was increased 4.6-fold via the addition of the TiO@TiN nanocomposite. Different biofilms were further tested in a dual-chamber microbial fuel cell. The PV-4 biofilm resulted a maximum power density of 33.4 mW/m, while the hybrid biofilm of the TiO@TiN nanocomposite with PV-4 yielded a 92.8%... More
