Abstract

Key findings

  • Electroactive biofilms exhibit a multilayered structure with distinct zones of microbial activity and electron transfer.
  • The switch from microbial fuel cell to microbial electrolysis cell leads to changes in biofilm composition, with an increase in hydrogen-producing microorganisms.
  • The biofilm's ability to produce hydrogen is influenced by the presence of MXene, which enhances electron transfer and biofilm activity.
