Paper battery is not only efficient but economic and environmental
One day in the future, the production of batteries may be as simple as painting: when we need a battery, come up with “ink” drawing on paper of an on-line.
Stanford University scientists claim to have successfully developed a paper VGP-BPS2 battery - just to a special layer of silver coated carbon nano-ink on the paper! So, what is the carbon nano-silver ink it? Simply put, this is a mixture of three kinds of material, single-walled carbon nanotubes, silver nanowire film and ink. Among them, the former two used to form a “battery,” while the ink is used to the first two fixed on paper.
Scientists said that this paper has a high efficiency of the VGP-BPS2A battery, can achieve almost 10 times the notebook lithium batteries, but could be produced using ordinary paper, with low cost and lightweight characteristics, and therefore its application prospect is hard to imagine, for example said that it can solve the issue of troubled electric-powered vehicles until completely changed people’s lives.
