Abstract
Key findings
- Optimal catholyte pH for hydrogen production was found to be around 7.5
- Temperature had a significant impact on hydrogen production, with optimal temperature ranging from 30-40°C
- Higher temperatures resulted in increased hydrogen production, but also led to a decrease in acetate utilization
