 INTRODUCTION
A paper battery is a flexible, ultra-thin energy storage and
production device formed by combining carbon nano tube with a
conventional sheet of cellulose-based paper.
Paper batteries may be folded, cut or otherwiseshaped for different
applications without any loss ofintegrity or efficiency. the device
are able to produce 2.5 volts of electricity from a sample the size
of a postage stamp.
In paper batteries can between -75 and 150 degreesCelsius.

5. Works during extreme conditions -75°C to 150 °C.
6. No over heating.
7. Rechargeable.
8. Light weight and flexible.
9. Easily mouldable in desired shape.
10. Can work as super capacitor.
11. More power in less space.
12. Customizable output voltage.

DISADVANTAGES OF PAPER
BATTERY'S
13.Low shear strength can be torn easily.
14.CNT production technique is expensive.
15.Nano-toxic for CNT manufacturing workers.
16.Can cause fibrosis in lungs.
17.Aquatic like damaged by CNT.
FABRICATION OF PAPER
BATTERY
The materials required for the preparation of paper battery are
a. Copier paper
b. Carbon nano ink
c. Oven

The steps involved in the preparation of the

paper battery are as follows :-
Step 1: The copier paper is taken.
Step 2: carbon Nano ink which is black in color is taken. Carbon
nano ink is a solution of nano rods, surface adhesive agent and
ionic salt solutions. Carbon nano ink is spread on one side of the
paper.
Step 3: the paper is kept inside the oven at 150C temperature. This
evaporates the water content on the paper. The paper and the nano
rods get attached to each other.
Step 4: place the multi meter on the sides of the paper and we
can see voltage drop is generated.

 WORKING OF PAPER BATTERY
The battery produces electricity in the same way
as the conventional lithium-ion batteries
The devices are formed by combining cellulose
with an infusion of aligned carbon nano tubes.
The carbon gives the batteries their black
color .

LIMITATIONS
Carbon nano tubes are very expensive, and batteries with
large enough power are unlikely to be cost effective.
Cutting of trees leading to destroying of the nature.
 APPLICATIONS

Pace makers in heart (uses blood as

electrolyte)

Used as alternate to conventional

batteries in gadgets

Powered smart cards RF id tags

Smart toys, children sound books

E-cards, greetings, talking posters

 CONCLUSION
After analysis of paper battery, we can conclude that the major component
of paper battery is CNT.The CNT manufacturing techniques are inefficient
which obviously increases the cost, making the paper battery expensive. If
the cost is kept economical the batteries will revolutionize the electronics
industry. The shear strength of paper battery can be increased by adding
glass fibre, resins, plastics etc.
