A novel electrochemical active biofilms constructed wetland (NEAB-CW) was built to enhance the treatment efficiency for domestic sewage under low temperature environment (0–15 °C). In NEAB-CW, the traditional matrixes were replaced with conductive layer, in which laid stainless steel mesh tubes (SSMT) and added slow-release oxygen matrixes (SROM) and zero-valent iron rod (IR) were used to build a bioelectrochemical activity biofilms system. According to the results of 180 d experiment, the removal efficiencies of COD, NH₄⁺-N and TP of NEAB-CW were 1.52 and 2.21, 2.97 and 1.68, 3.95 and 1.76 times higher than the CW without SROM and IR at 10–20 and 0–10 °C, respectively. The transverse and longitudinal electric potential (EP) variations in NEAB-CW improved microbial activities under low temperature by enhancing the electron transfer efficiency, resulting in higher and stable EP and electron currents density, as well as protein-like contents secreted from biofilms. The pollutant-degrading microorganisms (e.g., Clostridia, Simplicispira), low temperature-resistant microorganisms (e.g., Psychrobacter, Acinetobacter), and electrochemical active microorganisms (e.g., Negativicutes, Gammaproteobacteria) obviously accumulated in NEAB-CW under low temperature environment to generate electricity and degrade pollutants. The results provided a good choice to treat domestic sewage at 0–15 °C by using NEAB-CW.
