Abstract

Key findings

  • The addition of phosphate species significantly increased the hydrogen evolution rate in MEC.
  • The stainless steel cathode showed improved corrosion resistance and stability compared to traditional cathodes.
  • The combination of phosphate species and stainless steel cathode resulted in a 30% increase in hydrogen evolution efficiency.
