 Flexible, ultra-thin energy storage and production
  device
 Formed by combining carbon nanotubes with a

  conventional sheet of cellulose-based paper
 A paper battery acts as both a high-energy battery

  and supercapacitor
 This combination allows the battery to provide

  both long-term, steady power production and
  bursts of energy
 Can be folded, cut or otherwise shaped for
  different applications without any loss of efficiency
 Cutting one in half , halves its energy production
 Can be stacked in multiples of power output
 2.5 volts of electricity from a sample the size of a

  postage stamp.
 Combining cellulose with an infusion of aligned
  carbon nanotubes that are each approximately
  one millionth of a centimeter thick
 These tiny filaments act like the electrodes found
  in a traditional battery, conducting electricity when
  the paper comes into contact with an ionic liquid
  solution.
 With no water in solution, cannot freeze and
  hence operating temp -75 to 100 Degree celsius
   Carbon nanotubes (CNTs; also known as buckytubes) 
    are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure.
   They exhibit extraordinary strength and unique electrical properties,
    and are efficient thermal conductors.
   Nanotubes are members of the fullerene structural family, the
    diameter of a nanotube is on the order of a few nanometers 
    Because of the symmetry and unique electronic structure of
    graphene, the structure of a nanotube strongly affects its electrical
    properties. For a given (n,m) nanotube, if n = m, the nanotube is
    metallic; if n − m is a multiple of 3, then the nanotube is
    semiconducting with a very small band gap, otherwise the nanotube
    is a moderate semiconductor.
   Growing the nanotubes on a silicon substrate and then
    impregnating the gaps in the matrix with cellulose
   Once the matrix has dried, the material can be peeled off of
    the substrate, exposing one end of the carbon nanotubes to
    act as an electrode
   When two sheets are combined, with the cellulose sides
    facing inwards, a supercapacitor is formed that can be
    activated by the addition of the ionic liquid
   This liquid acts as an electrolyte and may include salt-laden
    solutions like human blood, sweat or urine.
   While a conventional battery contains a number of
    separate components, the paper battery integrates all of
    the battery components in a single structure, making it
    more energy efficient.
   INTEGRATED DEVICES – No warm up time, power
    loss, component malfunction; Loss of energy while
    transferring power from one component to another, less
    energy lost in an integrated device
1.Batteries produce electrons through a chemical reaction between electrolyte and metal in the
traditional battery.

2. Chemical reaction in the paper battery is between electrolyte and carbon nanotubes.

3. Electrons collect on the negative terminal of the battery and flow along a connected wire to the
positive terminal

4. Electrons must flow from the negative to the positive terminal for the chemical reaction to
continue.
 The sheets can be rolled, twisted, folded, or cut
  into numerous shapes with no loss of integrity or
  efficiency, or stacked like printer paper to boost
  total output.
 The components are molecularly attached to each

  other: the carbon nanotube print is embedded in
  the paper, and the electrolyte is soaked into the
  paper
 The paper-like quality of the battery combined with
  the structure of the nanotubes embedded within -
  light weight and low cost
 Ability to use electrolytes in blood make them

  potentially useful for medical devices such as
  pacemakers
 The medical uses are particularly attractive

  because they do not contain any toxic materials
  and can be biodegradable
