INTRODUCTION

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
INTRODUCTION
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.

 FORMATION
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
Carbon nanotubes(CNTs;alsoknownasbuckytubes)
areallotropesofcarbonwithacylindricalnanostructure.
They exhibit extraordinary strength and
uniqueelectricalproperties, and are efficientthermal
conductors.
Nanotubes are members of thefullerenestructural 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, ifn=m,
the nanotube is metallic; ifnmis a multiple of 3, then
the nanotube is semiconducting with a very small band
gap, otherwise the nanotube is a moderatesemiconductor.
WORKING
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

DURABILIT
Y
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
 USES
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
