The world is facing severe environmental pollution and energy shortages. Microbial electrolysis cells (MECs) provide a promising solution by producing H2 from wastewater. However, MECs face limitations, such as low current densities, slow production, electrogenic bacteria deactivation at high voltages. In this study, we developed microbial water (MWECs), new device that couples with (WE). At an applied voltage of 2.2 V, MWECs achieved industrial-level density 400 mA/cm2, fast production rate 121 L-H2/L/d, consumption 5.93 kWh/m3. Moreover, the protective effect abiotic anode in enabled microorganisms to maintain robust activity voltages MWECs, Geobacter, Azospirillum, Paracoccus dominant genera. This led 2-fold increase chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal, reaching 1.51 kg/m3/d, compared MECs. study demonstrated feasibility advantages integrating achieve rates, efficient COD removal making practical applications possible.
