One viable option is hydrogen (H2), a highly efficient fuel that can be produced from biomass-based substrates like wastewater.

Key Points: 
  • One viable option is hydrogen (H2), a highly efficient fuel that can be produced from biomass-based substrates like wastewater.
  • In this process, charged particles called "protons" and "electrons" react with each other in the cathode chamber of an MEC, generating highly purified H2.
  • A proton exchange membrane (PEM) facilitating the proton-electron reaction is, thus, a central player in the functioning of the cell.
  • Dr Chae says, "If high-performance 2D nanomaterial-based membranes with robust anti-biofouling properties are commercialized, H2 production can become easier and more cost-effective."
