Abstract

The high cost of Pt-based cathode, and its possibility of being poisoned by the presence of buffer in the electrolyte
are two paramount issues in the BES system. The Ni-Fe has become one of the good alternatives because it has excellent catalytic properties, inexpensive, commercially available and low toxicity to microorganisms. In this study, Ni-Fe foam applied as a cathode in dual-chamber BES, while effluent of glucose fermentation as a substrate in the anode side. The characteristic of Ni-Fe surface was analyzed by using field emission scanning electron microscopy. Whereas, the catalytic property of Ni-Fe was evaluated by using linear sweep voltammetry test. The maximum hydrogen production rate and yield obtained were 500 ± 80 m3/m3/d and 470.2 ± 11.2 mL/g COD, respectively. The results show that the Ni-Fe has comparable performance to GF/Pt. Hence it could be used as an alternative cathode in BES application.
