Abstract
Abstract The increasing trend in global atmospheric temperature caused by a spike in atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide must be addressed as soon as feasible to avoid approaching the point of zero return. Innovative technologies based on the concepts of plant microbial fuel cell (PMFC) may help in this direction by sequestering CO 2 while creating a massive amount of biomass. In the present study, the Aloe vera plant was employed to generate Cleaner and viable bioenergy in a PMFC. The carbonized Ipomoea carnea had a synergistic effect on power production and plant Growth. The highest power output of the PMFC with a carbonized Ipomoea carnea anode was 260 mW/m 2 , which was 186.1 mW/m 2 more than the carbon rod anode. Within 35 working days, high biomass was identified in the carbonized Ipomoea carnea anode, allowing for increased generation bioelectricity.
Key findings
- Highest power output of 260 mW/m^2 achieved with carbonized Ipomoea carnea anode, 186.1 mW/m^2 more than carbon rod anode.
- Carbonized Ipomoea carnea anode showed synergistic effect on power production and plant growth.
- High biomass generation in 35 working days with carbonized Ipomoea carnea anode.
