Microbial electrolysis cells for hydrogen production
Chinese Journal of Chemical Physics, 2020Microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) present an attractive route for energy-saving hydrogen (H2) production along with treatment of various wastewaters, which can convert organic matter into H2 with the assistance of microbial electrocatalysis. However, the development of such renewable technologies for H2 production still faces considerable challenges ...

Biocatalysts in microbial electrolysis cells: A review
International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, 2016Abstract Microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) are bioelectrochemical reactors in which chemical energy stored in organic compounds are converted to hydrogen through biocatalytic oxidation by microorganisms. The performance of MECs is highly affected by microbial communities that are impartible parts of this technology.

Journal of Water Process Engineering, 2020
This study investigated the microbial community structure on the anode surface of four dual chamber bio-electrochemical systems. These systems were Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) and Microbial Electrolysis Cell (MEC). The systems were inoculated with activated sludge and operated for electricity generation/hydrogen (H2) production, and phosphorus (P ...

A review on the applications of microbial electrolysis cells in anaerobic digestion
Bioresource Technology, 2018Anaerobic digestion (AD) has been widely used for biogas or biofuel generation from waste treatment. Because a low production rate and instability of AD occur frequently, various technologies have been applied to improvement of AD. Microbial electrolysis cells (MECs), an emerging technology, can convert organic matter into hydrogen, methane, and other ...

Cadmium (II) removal mechanisms in microbial electrolysis cells
Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2016Cadmium is a toxic heavy metal, causing serious environmental and human health problems. Conventional methods for removing cadmium from wastewater are expensive and inefficient for low concentrations. Microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) can simultaneously treat wastewater, produce hydrogen gas, and remove heavy metals with low energy requirements.
