"Tissue" production printable batteries

"Tissue" production printable batteries


German researchers have recently developed the world's first "printable" battery, which is as thin as paper, can be produced by screen printing.


Electronic Nano Systems Institute, Germany developed this "thin" battery weighs less than 1 gram, less than 1 mm thick. In addition to Slim, the battery compared to traditional battery also has a low manufacturing cost, no mercury, environmental pollution and other advantages. The battery voltage of 1.5 volts, through a few batteries in series for higher voltage.


The researchers said, the use of screen printing technology, they have been successfully implemented in the laboratory of the print production of this battery is expected to achieve mass production end of the year.
