Bio-photovoltaic Phytoremediation: electricity generation and environmental cleanup with living plants Hasselt University
The general goal of this project it to explore through an interdisciplinary approach (physics/biology/microbiology) the combination of the non-conventional and novel concepts of 'microbe-assisted phytoremediation' and 'bio-photovoltaics', which we termed 'bio-photovoltaic phytoremediation'. This idea of bio-photovoltaic phytoremediation is highly innovative: living plants and their associated microorganisms around the roots can be used to ...
