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.
PRINCIPLE
• The battery produces electricity in the same way as the conventional lithium-ion
batteries, but all the components have been incorporated into a lightweight,
flexible sheet of paper.
• The devices are formed by combining cellulose with an infusion of aligned carbon
nanotubes.
• The electrolyte and the ions that carry the charge can be varied depending the
use of the battery.
WORKING

• The nano tubes acting as electrodes allow the storage device to

conduct electricity.

• Chemical reaction in battery occurs between electrolyte and carbon

nano tubes.

• Carbon nanotubes act as cathode, the Li metal is the anode and paper
is the separator.
Working…

• Electrons must flow from the negative to the positive terminal for the
chemical reaction to continue. Ionic liquid, essentially a liquid salt, is used as
the battery electrolyte.

• The organic radical materials inside the battery are in an “electrolyte-

permeated gel state”, which is about halfway between a solid and a liquid.
This helps ions to smooth move, reducing resistance, allowing the batteries
to charge faster.
Structure of Paper Battery
PAPER BATTERY VS
CONVENTIONAL BATTERY
• Paper batteries have long lasting time.

• They are flexible and can be folded or cut without any effect on their efficiencies. This is because of
the fact that they are made up of materials like cellulose and carbon nanotubes which have high
tensile strength.

•  They are disposable as they are made up of cellulose which is bio degradable and non toxic.

• They can be used in harsh climate conditions like heat and cold. This is because the electrolyte does
not involve water which makes the battery operate in the range of -73 to 149 degree Celsius.

• They utilize carbon nanotubes, which are one of the most highly efficient conductors of electricity. 
ADVANTAGES

• Used as both battery and capacitor.

• It is flexible.
• It is ultra thin energy storage device.
• Long lasting.
• No leakage problem.
• Steady power production.
DISADVANTAGES

• Prone to tearing.

• Nanotubes made from carbon are expensive due to use of procedures

like electrolysis and laser ablation.

• Should not be inhaled, as they can damage lungs.

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.
• Used in electronic games and entertainment devices.
APPLICATIONS
Future Scope

• It holds great potential to advance capabilities in portable power

design for applications ranging from bioinstrumentation to consumer
electronics and even large power systems served by conventional
batteries.
• The paper like qualities of the material make it especially attractive for
energy storage in medically implanted devices (for example, a
pacemaker, insulin pump or the implantable radio chip).
