​Vital Nzaka, a Congolese chemist and inventor, has developed innovative technologies to generate electricity from plants and other natural resources, offering sustainable solutions to Africa’s energy challenges.

Nzaka’s notable invention includes a rechargeable battery made from cassava starch and lithium, capable of powering devices like light bulbs and radios for up to two weeks.

This technology harnesses the photosynthetic properties of plants, converting chemical energy stored in starch into electricity.

In addition to the cassava-based battery, Nzaka has created a charcoal-powered lamp designed for long-lasting illumination.

He has also developed a fire starter utilizing fresh fish eyes, effectively repurposing waste materials.

Nzaka’s work has garnered attention for its potential to provide affordable and renewable energy solutions, particularly in rural areas lacking reliable electricity access.

Despite his achievements, he faces challenges in securing funding to industrialize his inventions and has called upon investors and institutions to support his research and help protect his patents. ​
