Abstract

Key findings

  • The MoS2-coated p-type copper oxide anode enhanced the photo-assisted MEC performance.
  • The exclusive biohydrogen production was achieved with a high current density and low overpotential.
  • The presence of bacteria was essential for the efficient operation of the photo-assisted MEC.
