Turning cellulose waste into electricity: hydrogen conversion by a hydrogenase electrode.

Turning cellulose waste into electricity: hydrogen conversion by a hydrogenase electrode.

Hydrogen-producing thermophilic cellulolytic microorganisms were isolated from cow faeces. Rates of cellulose hydrolysis and hydrogen formation were 0.2 mM L(-1) h(-1) and 1 mM L(-1) h(-1), respectively. An enzymatic fuel cell (EFC) with a hydrogenase anode was used to oxidise hydrogen produced in a...
