Next-generation Electricity Potential from Aqueous Extracts of Plant Resources
J. Environ. Nanotechnol., Volume 12, No 4 (2023) pp. 17-21
Abstract
Electrical energy plays a major role in our daily life and its consumption is ever-increasing. Conventional source-based electricity generation has massive environmental challenges such as pollution and global warming. To overcome this, many non-conventional energy source-based generation have been tried and tested such as solar energy, wind energy and biofuels. The present investigation deals with a new technology to produce electricity by using aqueous extracts of various plant resources. Some plants in nature have the properties congenial for the generation of electricity, which may be enhanced.
