GENERAL LI-ION BATTERY

 Generally Li-ion re-chargeable batteries are used in


mobiles , laptop and most of the electronic devices.
 3 primary functional components of Li-ion battery
are:
1) positive electrode(graphite)
2)negative electrode(cobalt oxide)
3)electrolyte(lithium salt in organic solvent)
LITHIUM ION BATTERIES
Disadvantages of Li-ion

 EXPENSIVE – 40% more than NiCd


 DELICATE – Battery temperature must be
monitored from within and sealed particularly well.
 REGULATIONS – when shipping Li-ion batteries in
bulk (which also raises the price)
WHY TO USE PAPER BATTERY ?

 Ultra-thin size and flexible structure.


 Exhibits property of super-capacitor(22F-36F per
gram).
 Operating temperature (-75 to 100 degree celsius ).
 Provide both long-term , steady power production
and bursts of energy.
 Cost-effective.
PAPER BATTERY
CARBON NANOTUBES

o Carbon nanotube is the main concept behind paper


battery .
o Carbon nanotubes (CNTs ; also known as
buckytubes) are allotropes of carbon with a
cylindrical nanostructure.
o CNTs exhibit extraordinary strength and unique
electrical properties ,and are efficient thermal
conductors.
PAPER BATTERY
CONSTRUCTION OF PAPER BATTERY

 CNT thin films were coated onto stainless steel (SS)


substrates with a solution based process.
 The concentration of CNT is 1.7mg/ml.
 A dried film with a thickness of 2 micrometer was
formed after drying the CNT ink on the SS substrate at
80 degree for 5 min.
 This film is then peeled off from substrate.
 These films act as electrodes of paper battery.
 One film is pasted to electrolyte LTO and the other film
is pasted to electrolyte LCO.
 Paper is sandwiched between two electrolytes LTO and
LCO with PVDF(poly vinylidene flouride) acting as glue.
PAPER BATTERY
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.
 Traditional batteries produce electrons through a
chemical reaction between electrolyte and metal.
 Paper battery produce electrons due to the interaction of
electrolytes LTO & LCO.
 Electrons collect on the negative terminal of the battery
and flow along a connected wire to the positive terminal
during discharging.
 Electrons must flow from the negative to the positive
terminal for the chemical reaction to continue.
PAPER BATTERY
ADVANTAGES

 The flexible battery can function even if it is rolled


up ,folded or cut.
 We can get 2.5volts of electricity from a sample the
size of a postage stamp.
 If we stack 500 sheets together in a ream , that’s
500 times the voltage . If we rip the paper in half
we cut power by 50%.So we can control the power
and voltage issue.
 The battery consists mainly of paper and carbon ,it
could be used to power pacemakers within the
body where conventional batteries pose a toxic
threat.
FUTURE SCOPE
PAPER BATTERY OFFERS FUTURE POWER

 The black piece of paper can power a small light.


 Flexible paper batteries could meet the energy
demands of the next generation of gadgets.
 The ambition is to produce reams of paper that
could one day power a car.
 The paper battery was a glimpse into the future of
power storage.
APPLICATIONS
CONCLUSION

 The range of possible applications for paper


batteries derives from their important advantage as
compared to conventional battery technologies.
 They can be made in virtually any shape and size to
meet the requirements of each application.
 The batteries are rechargeable and have reduced
cost and weight which in itself may give birth to new
applications.
 Paper battery could solve all the problems
associated with electrical energy storage.
