INTRODUCTION OF ORDINARY BATTERY
 This of battery could be useful in powering electric or
hybrid vehicles, would make electronics lighter weight
and longer lasting, and might even lead someday to pa
per electronics, the scientists said.
INTRODUCTION OF PAPER BATT
ERY
 Flexible, ultra-thin energy storage and production device
 Formed by combining carbon nanotubes with a convention
al sheet of cellulose-based paper
 A paper battery acts as both a high-energy battery and supe
r capacitor
 This combination allows the battery to provide both long-t
erm, steady power production and bursts of energy
 Non-toxic, flexible paper batteries have the potential to po
wer the next generation of electronics, medical devices and
hybrid vehicles, allowing for radical new designs and medic
al technologies.
 Can be folded, cut or otherwise shaped for diffe
rent applications without any loss of efficiency.
 Cutting one in half , halves its energy productio
n.
 Can be produced in multiples of power output.
 paper coated with ink made of silver and carbo
n nano materials into a "paper battery" that hol
ds promise for new types of lightweight, high-p
erformance energy storage.
 Stacking them multiplies power output. Early prototyp
es of the device are able to produce 2.5 volt s of electric
ity from a sample the size of a postage stamp.

 These tiny filaments act like the electrodes found in a t

raditional battery, conducting electricity when the pap
er comes into contact with an ionic liquid solution.
 DEFINATION OF PEPAR BATTE
RY
 A paper battery is a flexible, ultra-thin energy storage a
nd production device formed by combining carbon na
notube with a conventional sheet of cellulose-based pa
per.
 FORMATION
 Combining cellulose with an infusion of ali
gned carbon nanotubes that are each appro
ximately one millionth of a centimeter thick
 These tiny filaments act like the electrodes.
 With no water in solution, cannot freeze an
d hence operating temperture -75 to 100 De
gree celsius
CARBON NANOTUBES
 Carbon nanotubes (CNTs; also known as buckytubes)
are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nano structure
.
 They exhibit extraordinary strength and unique electrica
l properties, and are efficient thermal conductors.
 Nanotubes are members of the fullerene structural famil
y, the diameter of a nanotube is on the order of a few nan
ometers
 Because of the symmetry and unique electronic structur
e of graphene, the structure of a nanotube strongly affect
s its electrical properties. Then the nanotube is semicon
ducting with a very small band gap, otherwise the nanot
ube is a moderate semiconductor.
STRUCTURE OF CARBON NANO
TUBES
 MANUFACTURING
 Growing the nanotubes on a silicon substrate and then impregn
ating 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 a
n electrode
 When two sheets are combined, with the cellulose sides facing i
nwards, a super capacitor is formed that can be activated by the
addition of the ionic liquid
 This liquid acts as an electrolyte and may include salt solutions
like human blood, sweat or urine.
 Paper batteries are also biodegradable, a need only partially add
ressed by current e-cyclng and other electronics disposal metho
ds
WORKING OF Paper battery
 While a conventional battery contains a number
of separate components, the paper battery integr
ates all of the battery components in a single stru
cture, making it more energy efficient.
 INTEGRATED DEVICES – No warm up time, po
wer 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 betw
een 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 f

low along a connected wire to the positive terminal

4. Electrons must flow from the negative to the positive termina

l for the chemical reaction to continue.
DEVELOPMENT
 The recent (r) evolution of thin-film electronic devices
such as paper transistors.
 (1) transparent thin-film transistors based on semicon
ductor oxides.
 (2)Open the possibility to produce low cost disposable
electronics in large scale. Common to all these advance
s is the use of cellulose fiber-based paper as an active
material in opposition to other ink-jet printed active-
matrix x display and thin-film transistors
 (3) Where paper acts only as a passive element Batteri
es in which a paper matrix is incorporated with carbon
nano tubes
 achieving such goal we have fabricated batteries using
commercial paper as electrode and physic support of t
hin film electrodes. A thin film layer of a metal or meta
l oxide is deposited in one side of a commercial paper s
heet while in the opposite face a metal or metal oxi
de with opposite electrochemical potential is also depo
sited
DURABILITY
 The sheets can be rolled, twisted, folded, or
cut into numerous shapes with no loss of int
egrity or efficiency, or stacked like printer pa
per to boost total output.
 The components are molecularly attached to
each other the carbon nanotube print is em
bedded in the paper, and the electrolyte is s
oaked into the paper
