Abstract

Key findings

  • Nickel-based electrode materials enhanced biohydrogen production by 25% compared to traditional electrodes.
  • The use of sugar industry effluents as a feedstock for microbial electrolysis cells reduced production costs by 30%.
  • The study demonstrated the potential for large-scale biohydrogen production using microbial electrolysis cells, with a projected capacity of 1000 m³/day.
