1. Introduction The concept of "critical material" was first introduced by a United States (US) federal law in 1939 (Councel, 1939) to identify materials, which play an important role for military, industrial and essential civilian needs, and which were not found or produced in the US in the enough quantities to satisfy such needs.
Bio-batteries in general are environmentally friendly since they do not possess toxic metals and are easily biodegradable. Ultimately, energy storage devices will be the necessary technology for renewable energy and are promising catalysts towards decarbonization and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
