We have developed a sustainable, single feeding, microsized, air‐cathode and membrane‐free microbial fuel cells with a volume of 40 μL each, which we have used for rapid evaluation of power generation and viability of a series array of three cells seeking higher voltage levels. Contrary to expectations, the achieved power density was modest (45 mW m −3 ), limited due to non‐uniformities in assembly and the single‐channel feeding system.
