This dataset contains the data presented in the figures of pulbished paper "Catalyzing oxygen reduction by morphologically engineered ZIF-derived carbon composite catalysts in dual-chamber microbial fuel cells
" Journal of Environmental Chemical Engineering 12 112242 (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jece.2024.112242)
The electrochemical characterisation data, which was measured in University of Tartu Institute of Chemistry, is for Figures 4, 5, 6, S7, S8, and S9 and the nomenclature of the catalysts is the same as in the mentioned article.

Data was collected using Autolab potentiostat/galvanostat PGSTAT30 (Metrohm Autolab, The Netherlands) controlled with NOVA version 2.1.4 software. The working electrode was glassy carbon electrode with diameter of 5 mm.  

For Figures 4, 5, S7 electrochemical data the measured currents have been converted from current (A) to current densities (mA/cm2) and electrode potential has been converted from vs. SCE(V) to vs. RHE(V).
For Figure 6 data the measured currents have been converted from current (A) to current densities (mA/cm2).
For Figures 4b, 4c, S7a and S7c the background currents, measured in Ar-saturated solution, have been subtracted, in addition to conversion to current densities.
