Abstract
Bioelectrocalorimetry allows assessing the heat (enthalpy) balance and revealing the microbial electrochemical Peltier heat of biofilm electrodes. This effect accounts for a heat formation of 27 ± 6 kJ mol-1 of electrons transferred and represents a significant energy loss for primary microbial electrochemical technologies.
