 ABSTRACT

• Problems faced by the electronics industry is the

size of the battery.
• To overcome this Paper Battery present the
ultimate solution.
 INTRODUCTION

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

device made of cellulose and carbon nanotubes.
• A paper battery can act as a super-capacitor and also
as a high–energy battery.
• Operating temperature(-75 to 100 degree C).
• It is cost-effective.
• Paper Battery =
Paper(cellulose)+Carbon Nanotubes
 CARBON-NANO TUBES (CNT)

• It is a tube shaped material, made of carbon having a

diameter measuring on nanometer scale.
• These are stronger than steel and more conducting
than best semiconductors.

CELLULOSE
• It is a complex organic substance found in paper.

HISTORY OF BATTERIES
• Normal battery - Carbon + Lithium
• Rechargeable battery - Carbon + Lithium +
Some chemicals
• Paper battery - Nanotube + Cellular
paper
 BASIC STRUCTURE
• Cathode - Carbon Nanotube (CNT).
• Anode - Lithium metal (Li+).
• Electrolyte - All electrolytes.
• Separator - Paper (cellulose).
 MAKING
• Paper is infused with aligned carbon nanotubes.
• Tiny carbon filaments (or) nanotubes substitute for
the electrodes used in a conventional battery. It uses
an ionic liquid solution as an electrolyte.
• Electrodes & Electrolytes = Nano composite paper
battery material.
 WORKING
• Nanotubes acting as electrodes.
• Electrolyte & Carbon nanotubes = chemical reaction.
• Electrons are collected on (-) terminal of the battery and
flows along a connected wire to (+) terminal.
• Traditional batteries produce electrons through chemical
reaction.
• Paper battery produce electrons due to interaction of
electrolytes LTO and LCO. Paper electrode stores charge
while recharging in 10sec because ion flows in thin
electrode quickly.
• Electrons must flow from (-) to (+) terminal for the chemical
reaction to continue.
 ADVANTAGE & DISADVANTAGE
ADVANTAGES
• Long lasting.
• Rechargeable.
• Durable.
• No leakage & overheating.
• Very light weight &
flexible.
DISADVANTAGES
• Low shear strength, it can
be torn easily.
• CNT production technique
is expensive.
• Nano-toxic for CNT
manufacturing workers.
• Can damage lungs when
inhaled.
 CONCLUSION

• The life of battery is an important role.

• Paper battery can reduce the weight of electronic
gadget.
• High storage of energy leads to decrease charging
time. Thus energy can be saved.
