A nano-crystalline PbO2 coated carbon composite has been applied as an anode for an up-flow undivided bio-electrochemical reactor (UBER). This electrode provides an enhanced destruction of organic matter in synthetic wastewater in comparison to other anodic materials such as stainless steel, graphit...
