Gas diffusion cathodes with electrodeposited nickel (Ni) particles have been developed and tested for hydrogen production in a continuous flow microbial electrolysis cell (MEC). A high catalytic activity of electrodeposited Ni particles in such a MEC was obtained without a proton exchange membrane,
Microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) provide a high-yield method for producing hydrogen from renewable biomass. One challenge for commercialization of the technology is a lowcost and highly efficient cathode. Stainless steel (SS) is very inexpensive, and cathodes made of this material with high speci
