Paper Battery The next generation battery
How it is manufactured ?
There are three methods to manufacture paper batteries –
In first method, carbon nanotubes are embedded in wood fibers & then paper is made from those wood fibers.
In second method, cellulose is filled in the carbon nanotubes growned on the semiconductor substrate.
In third method, carbon nanotube ink is spreaded on paper & dried. Then the other side of paper thin layer of lithium is laminated.
What are its advantages ?
Flexible
Can be given any shape
Ultra thin
Light weight
Environment friendly
Non toxic
Rechargeable
Long life time
What are its disadvantages ?
Production of carbon nanotubes is expensive
Low tensile strength & can be torn
