Abstract
Deriving energy from plant has generated new technologies that are impressive. The success of harnessing energy in plants means that a global challenge has been truly solved. In this paper, the focus was to improve upon the plasmon technology in converting light to electricity such as photovoltaic. A metallic coated plant extract (MCPE) was synthesized and characterized in an unusual characterization set-up to determine the basic properties required for the plasmon technology. The MCPE was found to have band gap of 3.15 eV and possesses the basic properties of electron clouds oscillating about a mean position. This result means that the MCPE is a bio-particulate option that can replace the inorganic nanoparticles in the plasmon experiment. Further work on testing the MCPE in plasmon set-up is recommended.

Summary
Energy gotten from plants can be considered as green energy. In recent times the world has turned its attention on harnessing clean energy. This is as a result of the growing environmental pollution caused from the use of other source of energy like the use of fossil fuels. Plants use sunlight to generate energy through the process of photosynthesis. This is the process by which plants store their foods. Chemicals found in plants can be used to generate various forms of energy an example is chemical energy from teraoxosulphatesixacid [2]
