Abstract:
Graphene oxide (GO) is an emerging material for energy, environmental, and many other applications which in the past has been produced using chemical processes involving high-energy consumption and hazardous chemicals. Embodiments of the present invention focus on bioelectrochemical systems (BES) having microorganism(s), an anode ( 11 ) and cathode ( 14 ) to produce GO ( 13 ) from graphite, coal, and other carbonaceous materials under ambient conditions without chemical amendments. In some embodiments, value-added organic compounds ( 17 ) and even H 2  ( 16 ) can be produced.

Claim (Index 24):
A bioelectrochemical method for producing graphene oxide comprising the steps of:\n providing at least one biochemical reactor; providing at least one graphite containing anode and at least one cathode in each of said at least one biochemical reactor; wherein said at least one cathode comprises a conductive material; connecting a load between said at least one graphite containing anode and said at least one cathode with a transmission line; providing at least one direct current electricity source connected to said transmission line; providing at least one microbial population in each of said at least one biochemical reactor; interacting said graphite containing anode with said microbial species resulting in production of graphene oxide, carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and electrons; transferring said electrons from said anode to said cathode via said transmission line; microbiologically reducing protons and said CO 2  at said cathode resulting in production of H 2  and organic compounds; and collecting said graphene oxide from said biochemical reactor.
