Green electricity production by epipremnum aureum and bacteria in plant microbial fuel cell

Due to high energy demand worldwide, finding an alternative renewable and sustainable energy source is of great interest. Plant microbial fuel cell (P-MFC) is one of the most promising methods to generate green energy. In P-MFC, a plant is placed into the anode compartment. Mutual interaction betwee...
