Saudi researchers have produced a potato-powered battery that could be commercially available within the next year! Taking cues from a 2010 paper published by Israeli and American researchers that showed the benefits of potato-powered batteries in rural areas, a Saudi researcher produced an even more efficient potato cell that could be commercially available within the next year. Professor of physics at King Abdulaziz University, Suliman Abdalla told SciDev.net that he is developing a prototype that is two times more efficient than a standard 1.5V battery, 26 times cheaper, and could provide clean energy for millions of people.
