Application of polypyrrole modified cathode in bio-electro-Fenton coupled with microbial desalination cell (MDC) for enhanced degradation of methylene blue
TL;DR: Two degradation pathways of methylene blue via bio-electro-Fenton using ploypyrrole modified cathode are proposed, and the generated smaller molecules would be appropriate for further in-depth treatment.
