Paper Based Batteries
- Formal
-
A paper battery is an electric battery engineered to use a spacer formed largely of cellulose (the major constituent of paper). Paper-based batteries incorporate nanoscale structures to act as high surface-area electrodes to improve conductivity.
- Practical
-
Paper based batteries incorporates nanoscale structures to act as high surface-area electrodes to improve conductivitiy. In addition to being unusually thin, paper batteries are flexible and environmentally-friendly, allowing integration into a wide range of products. Their functioning is similar to conventional chemical batteries with the important difference that they are non-corrosive and do not require extensive housing.
