    The document summarizes a student's seminar presentation on paper batteries. It begins with an introduction to conventional batteries and their classification. It then discusses paper batteries, which are made from carbon nanotubes and paper to create a flexible, lightweight energy storage device. The fabrication process involves spreading carbon nanotube ink onto paper and heating it. Paper batteries work similarly to lithium-ion batteries and have advantages like flexibility, medical applications, and being molded into shapes. Current limitations include size and cost, but applications include pacemakers, toys, and electronic cards.

    What is Paper
    Battery?
    A paper battery
    is a flexible, ultra-thin

    energy storage and production device


    formed by combining carbon nanotube s with
    a conventional sheet of cellulose-based
    paper.
    Acts as both a high-energy battery and
    supercapacitor, combining two components
    that are separate in traditional electronics .
    This combination allows the battery to
    provide both long-term, steady power
    6
    production and bursts of energy.

    continued..
    Non-toxic, flexible paper batteries have the
    potential to power the next generation of
    electronics, medical devices and hybrid
    vehicles, allowing for radical new designs
    and medical technologies.
    Paper batteries may be folded, cut or
    otherwise shaped for different applications
    without any loss of integrity or efficiency .
    Early prototypes of the device are able to
    produce 2.5 volts of electricity from a sample
    7
    the size of a postage stamp.

    Carbon Nano
    tubes

    continued
    Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are allotropes
    of carbon with a cylindrical nanostructure.
    Nanotubes have been constructed with
    length-to-diameter ratio of up to
    132,000,000:1, significantly larger than
    any other material.
    These cylindrical carbon molecules have
    Novel Properties, making them potentially
    useful in many applications in
    nanotechnology, electronics, optics, and
    other fields of materials science, as well as
    potential uses in architectural fields.

    continued
    They exhibit extraordinary strength and
    unique electrical properties, and are
    efficient thermal conductors.
    In Paper Batteries the nanotubes act as
    electrodes, allowing the storage devices to
    conduct electricity.
    Carbon nanotubes have been
    implemented in Nano Electromechanical
    systems, including mechanical memory
    elements (NRAM being developed by
    Nantero Inc.)

    abrication of Paper Batter


    Materials Required are:
    a) Copier paper
    b) Carbon Nano ink
    c) Oven

    ) STEPS:
    Step 1: The copier paper is taken.
    Step 2: Carbon Nano ink which is black in color
    is taken. Carbon nano ink is a solution of nano
    rods, surface adhesive agent and ionic salt
    solutions. Carbon nano ink is spread on one side
    of the paper.
    12

    continued.
    Step 3: The paper is kept inside the oven at
    150C temperature. This evaporates the water
    content on the paper. The paper and the nano
    rods get attached to each other.
    Step 4: Place the multi meter on the sides of
    the paper and we can see voltage drop is
    generated.
    After drying the paper becomes flexible, light
    weight in nature. The paper is scratched and
    rolled to protect the nano rods on paper.

    Working of Paper Battery


    The battery produces electricity in the
    same way as the conventional lithium-ion
    batteries that power so many of today's
    gadgets, but all the components have
    been incorporated into a lightweight,
    flexible sheet of paper.
    Devices are formed by combining
    cellulose with an infusion of aligned
    Carbon Nanotubes. The carbon is what
    gives the batteries their black color.
    15

    continued

    Tiny filaments act like the electrodes


    & conduct electricity when the paper
    comes into contact with an ionic liquid
    solution.
    Ionic liquids contain no water, which
    means that there is nothing to freeze
    or evaporate in extreme environmental
    conditions.
    Paper batteries can function between
    -75 to 1500 Celsius.
    Paper is made conducting by dipping in

    16

    continued

    The paper electrode stores charge while


    recharging in tens of seconds because ions
    flow through the thin electrode quickly. In
    contrast, lithium batteries take 20 minutes to
    recharge
    17

    ADVANTAGES
    FLEXIBLE SHAPE:
    a) Paper battery is that it can be bent to any
    such shape or design that the user might
    have in mind.
    b) The battery can easily squeeze into tight
    crevasses and can be cut multiple times
    without ruining the battery's life.
    Example: If a battery is cut in half, each piece
    will function, however, each piece will only
    contain 1/2 the amount of original power.
    19
    Conversely, placing two sheets of paper

    continued..
    REPLACE CONVENTIONAL
    BATTERIES:
    a) By layering sheets of this paper, the
    battery's voltage and current can be
    increased that many times. Since the main
    components of the paper battery are carbon
    nanotubes and cellulose, the body structure
    of the battery is very thin, PAPER THIN".
    b) To maximize even more power, the sheets of
    battery paper can be stacked on top of one
    20
    another to give off tremendous power.

    continued.
    MEDICAL APPLICATIONS:
    a) Supplies power to an implanted pacemaker
    in the human body by using the electrolytes
    in human blood.
    b) Battery can be energized by the electrolyte
    emitted from one's own blood or body sweat.
    c) Leading to Conserve the usage of Battery
    Acid and rely on an environmental friendly
    mechanism of fueling battery cells with the
    help from our bodies.
    21

    continued.
    MOULDED INTO DIFFERENT
    SHAPES:
    The paper battery can be molded to take the
    shape of large objects, like a car door:
    As stated earlier, the key characteristics that
    make the paper battery very appealing are that
    it can be transformed into any shape or size, it
    can be cut multiple times without damaging it,
    and it can be fueled through various ways
    besides the typical harmful battery acid that is
    22
    used in the current day battery.

    LIMITATIONS
    SIZE: Presently, the devices are only a
    few inches across and they have to be
    scaled up to sheets of newspaper size to
    make it commercially viable.
    EXPENSIVE: Carbon Nanotubes are
    very expensive, and batteries with large
    enough power are unlikely to be cost
    effective.
    DEFORESTATION: Cutting of trees
    leading to destroying the nature

    23

    APPLICATIONS
    Pacemakers
    Alternate source of energy
    Powered smart cards RF ID tags
    Toys, Sound-books
    Ecards, greetings, talking posters

    25

    CONCLUSION

    Replacing old bulky batteries


    Less E-waste
    Reduce weight of electronic gadgets
    The adaptations to the paper battery
    technique
    in the future could allow for simply
    painting the
    Nanotube ink and active materials onto
    surfaces
