1 - 15 . (canceled) 16 . An apparatus comprising: an electrode comprising metal; an anode comprising a composite of halide salt and conductive carbon based material wherein the anode is deposited on the electrode; a cathode comprising metal; and a solid electrolyte provided between the cathode and the anode. 17 . An apparatus as claimed in claim 16 wherein the conductive carbon based material comprises graphene. 18 . An apparatus as claimed in claim 16 wherein the conductive carbon based material comprises reduced graphene oxide. 19 . An apparatus as claimed in claim 16 wherein the conductive carbon based material is formed from an ink comprising reduced graphene oxide in solution. 20 . An apparatus as claimed in claim 16 wherein the anode is arranged to react with the metal from the electrode to form metal halide and release metal cations. 21 . An apparatus as claimed in claim 20 wherein transport of the released metal cations from the electrode to the cathode provides a power source. 22 . An apparatus as claimed in claim 16 wherein the metal comprises a thin metal foil layer. 23 . An apparatus as claimed in claim 16 wherein the cathode comprises the same metal as the electrode. 24 . An apparatus as claimed in claim 16 wherein the metal comprises silver. 25 . An apparatus as claimed in claim 16 wherein the solid electrolyte is arranged to absorb ambient water to enable transport of cations across the solid electrolyte 26 .
