Paper Battery

-

A paper battery is formed largely of cellulose and used for conductivity its surface acts as high surface area electrodes for the conductivity. A paper battery consists of carbon and paper, it is used both as a capacitor as well as battery. It is an ultra-thin storage device. It is biodegradable as well as economical. 

It is also known as Nanocomposite paper.  

STEPS TO BE PERFORMED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION:-

STEP 1: Take a cellulose-based paper and apply black carbon ink to it.

STEP 2:  Spread this ink applied on the paper.

STEP3:- after spreading ink laminate a thin film over the cellulose 

STEP 4: Heat the cellulose paper for 5 min at 80 degrees.

STEP 5: Then peel off from the substrate.

ADVANTAGES OF PAPER BATTERY:

  • It is used for folding, cutting, etc.

  • It is used as well as a capacitor.

  • It has special properties such as more economical and biodegradable.

  • It can generate electrical energy of 1.5V.

DISADVANTAGES OF PAPER BATTERY:

  • The carbon nanotubes used in the paper batter are very expensive.

  • The paper battery may damage the lungs as well.

  • It generates e-waste.


APPLICATIONS:

USED IN COSMETICS, DRUG VEHICLE, DRUG DELIVERY SYSTEMS.

QUANTUM STORAGE & MEMORY

  Quantum computers stand to transform the world of computers. They have the capacity to be greatly more powerful than our current digital devices, with the power to solve important computational problems and simulate complex physical systems with unmatched efficiency. Like memories are an important component for computers, that’s like quantum memories are also essential components for quantum computers, a new generation of data processors that follow the laws of quantum mechanics and these laws help to overcome the limitations of classical computers. Quantum computers are expected to be much faster and more powerful than their traditional analogue as information is calculated in qubits (the fundamental unit of computation in quantum computing)  in quantum computers while the older units are bits which used in classical computers, can represent both 0 and 1 at the same time. Quantum memory is used as a key element in information processing, such as optical  quantum computing  and  qu

BLOCKCHAIN: HOW IT WORKS AND WHY SO POPULAR

Merely, 12 years ago on 31 st October 2008, SATOSHI NAKAMOTO published a paper on the internet about the idea of bitcoin. The Paper’s first few lines almost depicted all. The lines – “A version of electronic cash that would allow payments to be sent directly from one party/person to another party without involving a financial institution.” The value of bitcoin in 2010 was ~ 0 INR and value in 2020 ~ 15 lakhs INR. Recently, it touched its high price point, and now again is the topic of discussion among the market and media. Why so much difference? Like the US dollar is controlled by the Central Bank of US and the Indian rupee is controlled by RBI. Normally, our financial systems are based on “TRUST”. Whereas Cryptocurrency is a digital asset over which central banks or financial institutions have no control or rules/regulation. The currency notes and coins have value just because they are guaranteed by the government and central bank. Every currency has a promissory note with the signa

QUANTUM COMPUTING: CAN FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE

-
….IN AN INFINITE UNIVERSE ANYTHING THAT COULD BE IMAGINED MIGHT SOMEWHERE EXIST.                                                                   - Dean Koontz Quantum computing is an emerging domain that is yet to enter our lives. However, the researchers are working hard to bring it into existence. Quantum computing can make the impossible possible. There are some problems that even supercomputers can’t solve. Quantum computers will however have the potential to solve such problems. In the same way that bits are used in a classical computer, quantum computers use quantum bits or qubits which can store information in the quantum form. A qubit can be 0 or 1, or a superposition of both 0 and 1. Experts expect quantum computing to help us understand biology and evolution, cure cancer, and even take steps to reverse climate change. Imagine you have four bits. Together, those four bits can have one of 16 possible combinations, such as 1011.  The unique powers of quantum computation may g
