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.
