Abstract
⺠Terracotta pots were converted to simple, air-cathode bio-batteries. ⺠A peak power of 1.06 mW was produced with non-Pt catalyzed cathode. ⺠Extract of dried grass plus common salt supported current production. ⺠Microbial community on the anode can survive dehydration and starvation. ⺠These batteries can be used for off grid lighting in poor communities.
