Abstract
Key findings
- The MLEC showed stable and continuous hydrogen production over 100 hours with a maximum hydrogen production rate of 1.5 L/h.
- The cell's performance was improved by optimizing the electrode spacing and increasing the anode-to-cathode distance.
- The MLEC was able to produce hydrogen at a rate of 1.2 L/h with a current density of 10 A/m².
