  • Abstract
    The BioGenerator is the world´s first biological converter of hydrogen to electricity. Its characteristics such as high electrical efficiency, high stability, scalability and low cost make it very useful for the re-electrification in the hydrogen-based energy storage systems. Here we are reporting the results of the experimental study of a 300 Watt BioGenerator. We studied the effect of temperature, acidity and the catolyte flow rate on the performance of the BioGenerator. A high stability with respect to these parameters was obtained.
