 Working Principle of paper battery
 Applications of paper battery
 Advantages of paper battery
 Limitations of paper battery
 In December 2009, at Stanford University, Yi
Cui and his Research Team successfully
invented the original working prototype that
provides 1.5V as its terminal voltage.
 A paper battery is an ultra-thin,
environmental friendly and flexible energy
storage battery.
 It is formed by combining carbon nanotubes
with a conventional sheet of cellulose-based
paper.
 A paper battery acts as both a high-energy
battery and super capacitor
 It is also known as nano composite battery
since it is formed from carbon nano tubes
and paper.
 The Functioning of paper batteries is similar
to that of a normal chemical battery.
 In normal cases, conventional batteries may
be easily damaged by corrosion.
 But, the paper batteries are non-corrosive,
non-toxic and light-weight than the normal
batteries.
Paper Battery= Carbon Nanotubes + Cellulose
(Paper)
The ordinary electro-chemical battery faces many
problems such as:-
 Limited Lifetime:- The primary batteries can’t be
recharged. Although the secondary batteries can
be recharged, the lifetime may be very short. So,
paper batteries provide a longer lifetime.
 Costlier:- Secondary batteries are much costlier
than the paper batteries.
 Environmental Influence:- The extensive use of
batteries can generate environmental pollutions
like toxic metal pollutions etc. But, the paper
batteries are environment friendly and can
decompose very easily.
 Leakage:- If by chance any leakage of
batteries occurred, the chemical may be very
dangerous to the environment and also to the
nearby metals which are in contact with the
batteries. But, there is no toxic chemical
present in the paper batteries.
 Carbon nanotubes (CNTs; also known as buckytubes)
are allotropes of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure.
 They 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
 Because of the symmetry and unique electronic structure of
graphene, the structure of a nanotube strongly affects its
electrical properties. For a given (n,m) nanotube, if n = m, the
nanotube is metallic; if n − m is a multiple of 3, then the
nanotube is semiconducting with a very small band gap,
otherwise the nanotube is a moderate semiconductor.
 Carbon nanotubes are flexible and very light-
weight.
 Carbon nanotubes offer high tensile strength.
 Carbon nanotubes are good conductors of
electricity.
 Carbon nanotubes have high packing density
and low mass density.
 Carbon nanotubes provide low resistance.
 Cellulose is a bio-degradable an bio-
compatible material.
 Cellulose provides low shear strength.
 Cellulose offers high tensile strength.
 Cellulose has magnificent absorption capacity
and porosity.
 Cellulose can be easily recycle and reused.
 Cellulose is non-toxic.
The internal performance of paper batteries is identical to that
of a traditional battery. We can recall the working principle of a
traditional battery where ions(positively charged particles) and
electrons(negatively charged particles) move between the
electrodes i.e., anode(positive electrode) and cathode(negative
electrode). Due to the flow of electrons from cathode to anode,
current starts flowing from anode to cathode along the
conductor.
 Cathode:- Carbon Nanotube.
 Anode:- Lithium metal(Li+).
 Electrolyte:- Bio electrolyte like blood etc.
 Separator:- Cellulose or paper.
Similarly in paper batteries, the metal(lithium) is used

as the anode and carbon nanotube as cathode and also
the paper or cellulose is used as the separator. Due to
the chemical reaction between the electrolyte and the
carbon, electrons are generated. Similarly, due to the
chemical reaction between the electrolyte and metal,
ions are generated. These generated electrons starts to
flow through the external circuit from cathode to
anode.
 Paper Battery can be implemented in wearable
technology.
 Paper Battery can be used in entertainment
devices.
 Paper Battery can be used in smart cards.
 Paper Battery can be used for medical
applications like disposable medical diagnostic
devices.
 Paper Battery can also be used in pacemakers
due to its non-toxic and biodegradable nature.
 Paper Battery is ideal for aircraft, automobiles,
remote controllers etc.
 Paper Battery can be used as both a super
capacitor and a battery.
 Paper Battery is very flexible, ultra-thin, non-
toxic, bio-degradable and a longer life-time.
 Paper Battery provides a steady power.
 Paper Battery can be available in different shapes
and sizes.
 Paper Battery offers high energy efficiency.
 Paper Batteries are low in cost and can be easily
disposed.
 Paper Battery can be used to produce 1.5V
energy and are rechargeable.
 The construction of carbon nanotubes used
in the paper battery is very expensive. There
are different techniques used like chemical
vapor deposition(CVD), Arc discharge,
electrolysis, laser ablation etc.
 If we inhaled the paper battery, they start
interacting with the microphages present in
the lungs. This is very similar to the same of
asbestos fibers, so, it will be very hazardous
for the health of humans.
