From the TEM images of the ZnO synthesis it could be concluded that no autoclave is needed to produce the microflowers, which was used by Zhang et al. (2004). The purpose using highly branched systems, is an increase of adsorbing molecules on the surface. Further, the branched ZnO clusters can be anchored more simply in a biofilm, than flat or spherical nanoplatelets. The size of the microflowers was a general problem for our proof of concept. As the particles could cover most of the distance from one electrode to the other. This implies that biofilm can be used as template to stabilize the structures, however it is no crucial factor. To circumvent this issue, we changed the procedure to a direct mineralization process, where the biofilm is directly involved in the synthesis on ZnO.
