Scientists, For The First Time, Have Developed A Living Solar Cell From The Succulent Plant Corpuscularia Lehmannii. The Cell Works When Electron Is Transported, Via Water And Nutrients As Electrolytes, During Photosynthesis. The Plant’s Leaf Is Said To Generate 20 µA/cm2 of Photocurrent Density, For Over A Day, When Exposed To Light.

Scientists Have Developed a Living “Bio-Solar Cell” That Runs on Photosynthesis

Plants are often thought of as sources of food, oxygen, and decoration, but not as a source of electricity. However, scientists have discovered that by harnessing the natural transport of electrons within plant cells, it is possible to generate electricity as part of a green, biological solar cell.
