An apparatus (10) comprising one or more proton battery cells (24), each cell comprising: a proton- generator region (25) configured to donate proton charge carriers; a proton-acceptor region (26) configured to accept donated proton charge carriers; a first electrode (27) associated with one of the proton-generator region (25) and the proton-acceptor region (26); and a second electrode (28) associated with the other of the proton-generator region (25) and the proton-acceptor region (26); an antenna (50), wherein at least a portion of the antenna (50) is configured to provide at least some of the first electrode(s) (27) of the one or more proton battery cells (24); and circuitry (80) configured to be powered via second electrode(s) (28) of the one or more proton battery cells (24) in electrical parallel, wherein the circuitry (80) is configured to operably connect to the antenna (50). The portion of the antenna (50) that provides the first electrodes (27) may be a grounded portion such as a ground plane. |
