Imagine a future where every building breathes life, not just architecturally but energetically, transforming the urban landscape into a living, power-generating organism. This vision underpins our proposal, which marries Electroactive Microorganisms (EAMs) with concrete to pioneer an era where concrete serves as supercapacitors for energy storage. Our hypothesis posits that integrating EAMs into concrete presents a scalable method for energy storage, addressing the twin challenges of adapting these microorganisms to alkaline conditions of concrete and ensuring their ongoing vitality. Our innovative strategy involves embedding extremophile bacteria within nutrient-enriched micro-pockets, effectively turning them into microbial aggregates. By optimizing the concrete matrix with these bio-aggregates, we envision bridging the worlds of biology and civil engineering, thereby ushering in a groundbreaking shift in energy storage technologies.
