Our research group discovered "Electro-Anammox", an energy-neutral, anaerobic process that oxidizes ammonium in nitrogen-rich wastewater via extracellular electron transfer (EET), eliminating both aeration and external electron acceptors for a cost-effective, sustainable treatment solution. Our research areas include:

Bioelectrochemical Nitrogen Removal:

• Investigating EET mechanisms in anammox bacteria for enhanced ammonium oxidation.

Electrode & Process Optimization:

• Developing high-surface-area electrodes to enhance bacterial attachment and performance.
• Scaling up electro-anammox technology for energy-efficient wastewater treatment.
