Abstract
Producing and supplying environment friendly electrical energy has become a great matter of thought in this century. The condition in the rural areas of Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia (Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan and Afghanistan) are very frustrating. Bryophyllum pinnatum or Miracle Leaf can be grown anywhere in these regions without any special treatment and can be used as a simplified source of electricity based on the principle of redox reaction which involves no complicated procedures and requirements but only zinc and copper plates as electrodes immersed in the sap of miracle leaf act as a fuel as a form of electrolyte which contains some sort of organic acids. In our research work, we have studied the possible amount of electrical energy can be extracted from a certain amount of juice or leaf by studying the ampere-hour of a unit cell, columbic efficiency of an unit cell and the power density, energy density, specific capacity, specific energy density of a certain amount of juice or leaf which are very useful for building Nano-power plant at the off grid regions at an affordable cost.
