The Ni-Fe has become one of the good alternatives because it has excellent catalytic properties, inexpensive, commercially available and low toxicity to microorganisms. In this study, Ni-Fe foam applied as a cathode in dual-chamber BES, while effluent of glucose fermentation as a substrate in the anode side. The characteristic of Ni-Fe surface was analyzed by using field emission scanning electron microscopy. Whereas, the catalytic property of Ni-Fe was evaluated by using linear sweep voltammetry test. The maximum hydrogen production rate and yield obtained were 500 +/- 80 m(3)/m(3)/d and 470.2 +/- 11.2 mL/g COD, respectively. The results show that the Ni-Fe has comparable performance to GF/Pt. Hence it could be used as an alternative cathode in BES application.
