Extract of Green Chili—A New Source of Electricity

Abstract

Green chili is abundantly available for everywhere in the world. It is cultivating for cooking in curry. It can be used a green source of energy. Previously, it has been generated electricity from different vegetative and fruits. Electrochemistry is the responsible of mechanism for electricity generation from vegetative and fruits. In this paper, it has been used as a source of electricity using electrochemical cell. The Zn/Cu-based electrodes were used, and the extract of the green chili was used as an electrolyte. The green-electrochemical systems achieve the reduction reaction with a certain voltage for which electrons transfer between the cathode and anode. Here, cathode means gain of electron, and anode means loss of electrons. In this research paper, zinc is used as an anode, and copper is used as a cathode. The electrons react with Cu2+ and H+. The Cu2+ and H+ eventually convert into Cu and H2 atoms. Finally, it is shown that Cu atoms were deposited onto the copper plate, and H2 releases from the green chili electrochemical cell. The experimental results were observed with and without adding copper sulfate solution $${\text{CuSO}}:{4} \cdot 5{\text{H}}_{2} {\text{O}} $$ as a secondary salt. The outcome of the research work improvises a better understanding on the electricity generation technology of the system.
