3.  A paper battery is a 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 , combining two components that are separate in
traditional electronics .
 This combination allows the battery to provide both long-term,
steady power production and bursts of energy.

4.  High Tensile strength; Low Shear Strength
 Biodegradable
 Biocompatible
 Excellent Porosity & Absorption Capacity
 Easily Reusable and Recyclable
 Non –Toxic

5.  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.
 The research appears in the Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences (PNAS).
 "Think of all the disadvantages of an old TV set with
tubes," said Professor Linhardt, from the New York-
based institute, who co-authored a report into the
technology.

6.  A very brief explanation has been provided.
 • Cathode: Carbon Nanotube (CNT)
 • Anode: Lithium metal (Li+)
 • Electrolyte: All electrolytes (incl. bio
electrolytes like blood, sweat and urine)
 • Separator: Paper (Cellulose)

7.  Step 1: Black carbon ink is applied on a
cellulose-based paper.
 Step2: Black carbon ink is being spread on
a paper spread on the paper.
 Step3: A thin lithium film is laminated over
the exposed cellulose surface.
 Step4:The cellulose paper is heated at 800C
for 5 minutes.

8.  Step5: Next, the film is peeled off from the
substrate
 Step6: The film acts as electrodes of the
paper battery. One film is connected to the
electrolyte LTO (Li4Ti5012) and another film
is pasted to the electrolyte LCO (LiCo02).
 Step7: Next, Connect a LED on both the
ends of the battery and check its
functionality.

11.  Biodegradable & Non Toxic
 Reusable & Recyclable
 Durable
 Rechargeable
 No Leakage & Overheating
 Very Light Weight & Flexible

12.  Carbon nanotubes are very expensive.
 Batteries with large enough power are
unlikely to be cost effective.
 Should not be inhaled as they can damage
the lungs.
 Theses batteries generate e-wastage.

13.  One of the major problems bugging the world
now is Energy crisis.
 Every nation needs energy and everyone needs
power.
 And this problem which disturbs the developed
countries perturbs the developing countries like
India to a much greater extent.
 Paper Batteries can provide an altogether path-
breaking solution to the same.
