The production of biohydrogen can be improved by focusing on the nutrients needed by fermentative bacteria like iron. Iron reacts with the [Fe-Fe]-hydrogenase enzyme within the mixed bacteria culture for optimum hydrogen release. Iron nanoparticles (NPs) are attractive due to its unique propertie...
