Israel has launched a thin paper battery, the electrolyte and electrodes for special fluid that can be printed directly on paper. The total thickness of the Laptop battery is only half a millimeter, the voltage of 1.5 V, shelf life of two and a half years, the capacity depends on the surface of the card battery. The battery is only 1 cent per square foot cost, energy consumption is equivalent to a 5 batteries alkaline. The battery is widely used in a variety of electronic smart cards, disposable cell phones. The pollution of the battery currently being reviewed by the Company of paper-based rechargeable batteries.
One Israel’s called “Electric Paper Company” Small developers have developed a battery of paper, pulp moist dielectric materials, the practice of ink on paper embossed with a special electrolyte.
“The New York Times, said that disclosure of these new, paper, batteries generate electricity the same way with the existing batteries are zinc traditional – battery manganese dioxide, the difference is the dielectric. Development of staff, said: “We dielectric ink used to print a very special chemical composition is a secret.”
According to the company that introduced the thick stack of paper is equivalent to use boxes, milk cartons, media power, the positive and negative electrodes and electrical conductors layered embossing paper or plastic substrates, which can produce 1.5 volts of power. Since the sony VGP-BPS2A battery fairly flat, the installed power not in terms of volume, while in terms of floor area. For example, to provide a level equivalent to 3 x AA batteries, paper, surface about 30.5 square centimeters. Enlarge the area of the stack of paper, providing more power.
International Paper Company and several companies have with Israel, the company signed a cooperation agreement, electricity and paper itself also intends, through its Hong Kong-based factories, the production of this new battery.
German manufacturer of micro-electronic components, president of KSW Micro Technology, said, using stacks of paper will be the first microelectronic products available by the end of this year. KSW has used a pocket of blood followed up with changes in temperature stack of paper in transit “smart labels”, which includes chips, paper, batteries, temperature sensors, wireless devices such as antennas and receivers, costs associated with each tag around two dollars.
Paper battery life of two to two and a half, Tadiran lithium VGP-BPS10 battery manufacturer Assistant Chief Executive that the battery “paper for smart cards, etc., disposable products, is a perfect technology.”
Scientific progress and technological surprise ever to mankind ever. Scientists in Singapore 15, announced they have invented a “pile of paper, one can use the urine of a medical examination material for the production of electricity can be.
Scientists have tried to develop is capable of testing a variety of diseases, a direct result of and can provide high volume production of micro-”biochip”. But so far, and not micro “biochip” that is small enough and cheap enough to supply energy consuming equipment.
States-Ji Li (phonetic) in Singapore, led by Dr. Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology research team invented the stack “paper” is to solve this problem.
Dr Lee at the “micro-mechanical and micro-engineering magazine, brought this new invention. This” stacks of paper “small, low cost, can be used for the detection of liquid (such as the urine) Power of inspection equipment to analyze a variety of chemical composition, such as diabetes, blood glucose testing.
With this “stacks of paper, people use home devices from disposable screening when they no longer have to use lithium batteries or other external power source.
Dr Lee said that the battery can be easily inserted into the credit card size “biochips”, in and through the test liquid (urine, for example) contacts provided to check the equipment to produce electricity. 0.2 ml of urine can produce about 1.5 volts to 1.5 MW of energy. The “whole stack of paper” in length 60 mm, width 30 mm, thickness of only 1 mm is determined by a solution of copper chloride in the clip of paper soaked in the post-magnesium tablets and compressed into one end of copper. The industry believes that this battery “paper” is the second in Japan TOTO invention can measure blood pressure, blood glucose, body weight and WC Smart FAT innovation more broadly.
