Dynamic model of Bryophyllum pinnatum leaf fueled BPL cell: a possible alternate source of electricity at the off-grid region in Bangladesh

Abstract

Electricity is now a basic need for the people of Bangladesh. The socio-economic development is very deliberate at the off-grid regions. Providing a glance of electricity in many places is still difficult and practically inefficient. Considering these circumstances, we have to find a method to provide some sort of electricity in the off grid regions to give light at night to the school goings, tune radios and even to charge the mobile phones. Moreover, that way of providing electricity should be reasonably efficient, eco-friendly, easy to maintain or reconstruct, and should be operated by anyone. The BPL cell technique can be a solution, which is based on the voltaic cell principle, where some pairs of electrodes such as copper–zinc pair immersed in the juice of Bryophyllum pinnatum (miracle plant) leaf. Cell performance depends fundamentally on the quantity of the filtered leaf juice. Changing the juice means recharging the cell. Our new dynamic-electrolyte model came across as very efficient by providing long termed output power comparatively the previous model, static-electrolyte model. the output performance of the new model is very good and forced to look forward to constructing a nano leveled power plant practically at an affordable cost in the off-grid regions.
