Microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) provides electrochemical platform for organic matter removal and biohydrogen recovery. However, its performance efficiency is governed by numerous operational conditions, reactor design, electrode selection, and process parameters. The present chapter focuses on various electrode materials used for MEC design including carbon-based electrodes to metal-based composite electrodes to improve the electrode kinetics for hydrogen evolution reactions. Also, it additionally provides guidance for selection of electrode materials and catalyst for upscaling of the MEC technology toward field applications.

摘要

Microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) provides electrochemical platform for organic matter removal and biohydrogen recovery. However, its performance efficiency is governed by numerous operational conditions, reactor design, electrode selection, and process parameters. The present chapter focuses on various electrode materials used for MEC design including carbon-based electrodes to metal-based composite electrodes to improve the electrode kinetics for hydrogen evolution reactions. Also, it additionally provides guidance for selection of electrode materials and catalyst for upscaling of the MEC technology toward field applications.
