Abstract

Key findings

  • Stainless steel cathodes showed improved hydrogen production compared to traditional cathodes.
  • The bicarbonate buffer enhanced the performance of MECs by increasing the pH and reducing the internal resistance.
  • The new method for measuring gas production provided accurate and reliable results, allowing for a more precise evaluation of MEC performance.
