Electrical Performances of PKL (Pathor Kuchi Leaf) Power

Renewable energy

It has been designed and developed an electrochemical cell by Pathor Kuchi Leaf (PKL) as a electrolyte and Zn/Cu has been used as an electrodes to product quality power for practical utilization. Constructing an affordable cost, environment friendly simplified electrical energy source with Pathor Kuchi Leaf (PKL) for power electrifications which will significantly upgrade the life style of 1.275 billion people in Bangladesh. 1.5 billion people in the world still lack access to electricity-well over of one fifth of the world’s population. Some 85% (1.275 billion) of these people live in rural areas, mainly in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia (Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal and Bhutan). This innovative technology will meet essential requirements as lighting, telecommunication as well as information access. The studies on Bryophyllum Pinnatum (locally called Pathor Kuchi Leaf) showed that its pH is 4.8 with 10% water and 4.2 without water and Titratable acidity is 0.88%. Investigations showed that Electricity prepared by B. pinnatum (Bryophyllum pinnatum) leaf juice/Sap has significant performance and comparatively cheap with respect to another Renewable Energy Sources and the conventional gas based Electricity. Electrodes are put into the Bryophyllum Pinnatum Leaf (BPL) or Pathor Kuchi Leaf (PKL) sap and they produce substantially sufficient amount of electricity to power energy consumed electronics and electrical appliances. CuSO4.5H2O solution is used as a secondary salt. The role of CuSO4.5H2O solution has been studied. The Energy efficiency for both engineering and chemical view has also been studied. The variation of PKL power efficiency with time has also been studied. This study on showed that, the energy efficiency is about 65%. It is not needed to charging the PKL cell uses external energy sources. The voltaic efficiency of the PKL cell is significant for the generation of electricity. . Most of the results have been tabulated and graphically discussed.
