Abstract
Key findings
- The anode biofilm reformation in the MEC was influenced by the initial biofilm composition and the presence of a cathode.
- The bio-community analysis showed a shift in the microbial community structure during the reformation process.
- The MEC was able to produce H2 at a rate of 1.2 A/m², with a high Coulombic efficiency of 85%.
