Summary Microbial electrocatalysis showed great potential for waste energy harvesting and CO2 upgrading. The conventional electrodes with three‐dimensional (3D) architectures hold promise for efficient microbial electrocatalysis, but they were designed as macroporous structure with microfibers in al...
