  • This research built up a dual-chambered electricigens-pyrite equipment. Using single crystal pyrite as electron acceptor of electricigens, and the electron transfer process was analyzed by electrochemical methods. Compared with graphite electrode, the maximum system power density increased by 132.9% and polarization resistance of EIS decreased by 98.8% with a single crystal pyrite electrode. The data show a favorable electron transfer activity between electricigens and single crystal pyrite. The electron transfer process is related to the two electrode reactions, of which one is microbial oxidation by electricigens, and the other is reduction at 0.34 V (vs. SCE) by single crystal pyrite as electron acceptor.
