Abstract
Key findings
- The MEC showed a maximum hydrogen production rate of 2.5 L/h and a maximum current density of 1.2 A/m².
- The biohydrogen production was found to be significantly influenced by the type of bacteria used and the operating conditions.
- The MEC was able to achieve a high Coulombic efficiency of 80% and a Faradaic efficiency of 90%.
