Excess energy derived from photosynthesis can be used in plant microbial fuel cell (PMFC) systems as a sustainable alternative for the generation of electricity. In this study, the in situ performance of CAM (Crassulacean acid metabolism) plants in C...

The emergence of modern technologies, such as Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), the Internet-of-Things (IoT), and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, involves the use of batteries, which pose a serious environmental risk, with billions of batteri...

Environmental pollution is becoming ubiquitous; it has a negative impact on ecosystem diversity and worsens the quality of human life. This review discusses the possibility of applying the plant microbial fuel cells (PMFCs) technology for concurrent...

Plant Microbial Fuel Cells (PMFCs) represent a promising technology that uses electroactive bacteria to convert the chemical energy in organic matter into electrical energy. The addition of carbon pellet on electrodes may increase the specific surfac...

Plant microbial fuel cells (P-MFCs) are sustainable and eco-friendly technologies, which use plant root exudates to directly nourish the electrochemically active bacteria (EABs) to generate sustainable electricity. However, their use in evaluating pl...

In a plant microbial fuel cell (P-MFC), the plant provides the fuel in the form of exudates secreted by the roots, which are oxidised by electroactive bacteria. The immature plant is hampered by low energy yields. Several factors may explain this sit...

Green roofs have many benefits, but in countries with semiarid climates the amount of water needed for irrigation is a limiting factor for their maintenance. The use of drought-tolerant plants such as Sedum species, reduces the water requirements in...

Plant microbial fuel cells (PMFCs) represent an eco-friendly solution for generating clean energy by converting biological processes into electricity. This work presents the first integration of tin sulfide (SnS)-coated 304 stainless steel (SS304) el...

Microalgae microbial fuel cells (pMFCs) are distinguished by their ability to combine waste utilization with the simultaneous recovery of energy and valuable materials. The generation of high current density is linked to the efficient electron transf...

Ferredoxins (FDX) are final electron carrier proteins in the plant photosynthetic pathway, and function as major electron donors in diverse redox-driven metabolic pathways. We previously showed that overexpression of a major constitutively expressed...

Intelligent sensing systems based on the edge-computing paradigm are essential for the implementation of Internet of Things (IoT) and Agriculture 4.0 applications. The development of edge-computing wireless sensing systems is required to improve the...

This study presents the design and implementation of a crop environmental monitoring system powered by a plant–soil bioelectrochemical energy source. The system integrates a Cu–Zn electrode power unit, a boost converter, a supercapacitor-...
