 What is a Paper Battery?

A paper battery is a flexible, ultra-thin energy storage and

production device formed by combining carbon nanotube
with a conventional sheet of cellulose-based paper.

A paper battery acts as both a high-energy battery and

super- capacitor , combining two components that are
separate in traditional electronics .
 GENERAL Li-ion BATTERY
 Generally Li-ion re-chargeable batteries are used
in mobiles,laptops and most of the electronic
devices.
 3 primary functional component of Li-ion battery
are:
1. -ve electrode(graphite)
2. +ve electrode(cobalt oxide)
3.electrolyte( lithium salt in organic solvent)
 During discharge and charging, lithium ions Li+
carry the current from the negative to the positive
electrode and vice-versa respectively, through the
non-aqueous electrolyte .
 Disadvantages of Li-Ion Battery
• EXPENSIVE -- 40% more than NiCd.

• DELICATE -- battery temp must be

monitored from within (which raises
the price), 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 & 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.
CARBON NANOTUBE
SCarbon nanotubes (CNTs; also known as buckytubes)


Carbon nanotube is the main concept behind paper battery.

are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure. Allotropes are

different structural modifications of an element.
 CNTs exhibit extraordinary strength and unique electrical
properties, and are efficient thermal conductors.
 Nanotubes are members of the fullerene structural family. The
diameter of a nanotube is on the order of a few nanometers Their
name is derived from their long, hollow structure with the walls
formed by one-atom-thick sheets of carbon, called graphene. These
sheets are rolled at specific and discrete angles, and the combination
of the rolling angle and radius decides the nanotube properties

CONSTRUCTION OF PAPER BATTERY
 CNT thin films were coated onto stainless steel (SS)
substrates with a solution based process.
 The concentration of CNT is 1.7 mg/mL.
 A dried film with a thickness of 2 micrometer was
formed after drying the CNT ink on the SS substrate at
80 °C 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 fluoride) acting as glue.

STRUCTURE OF PAPER BATTERY
 WORKIN
G
1.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.
2.Traditional Batteries produce electrons through a chemical reaction between
electrolyte and metal.

3.paper battery produces electrons due to the interaction of electrolytes LTO

& LCO.

4.Electrons collect on the negative terminal of the battery and flow along a
connected wire to the positive terminal during discharging.

5.Electrons must flow from the negative to the positive terminal for the
chemical reaction to continue.
 ADVANTAGES
•The flexible battery can function even if it is rolled
up, folded or cut.

•We can get 2.5 volts 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."

•Because the battery consists mainly of paper and

carbon, it could be used to power pacemakers within
the body where conventional batteries pose a toxic
