Development of environmentally friendly electrical energy production technology. Development of power plants made of bamboo, limestone, and turmeric to increase the jump of electrons in electrolyte solutions. This research aims to reveal the role of turmeric as a catalyst in making electrolyte solutions from bamboo and limestone. The initial stage of this research began with a high energy milling (HEM) process to reduce the size of the bamboo material to nano size. Furthermore, bamboo and limestone dissolved in water with a ratio of 1:1. The electrodes used are aluminum and copper. Turmeric is used as a catalyst and increases the number of atoms. Comparison of bamboo, lime with turmeric 1:1:1. The limestone dissolves in water into ions by activating dipole forces and has crystalline properties. The test results show that the voltage generated from the bamboo and limestone materials before being mixed with turmeric is 508 mV. Furthermore, the addition of turmeric produces a voltage of 1631 mV. Copyright: © 2024 The authors.
