Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011100732A2] System and method of renewable and carbon neutral hydrogen production by microbial electrolysis, fermentation and photosynthesis with, for example, an electrode constructed from an architectural construct having graphene layers configured to isolate the produced hydrogen. The electrode constructed from the architectural construct facilitates transfer of hydrogenase and provides isolation of hydrogen to enable improved electrode efficiency, separation efficiency, and rate of hydrogen production. The architectural construct may also serve as a superior electron conductor and provide catalytic functions along with presenting various types of hydrogenase and/or other enzymes.
