Finland developed ultra-thin paper battery

Enfucell Finland has developed an ultra-thin paper battery that is environmentally friendly and affordable, was named one of the best innovations in 2006 by some organizations and media, and was awarded by the World Economic Forum on December 4, 2006. Annual Technology Pioneer Award. The United States "Time" magazine also reported on this new type of battery.

This type of paper cell uses a thin sheet of paper that is galvanized on one side and manganese dioxide on the other side as a conductor. Its thickness is less than 015 mm. If necessary, several batteries can be stacked and used. This type of battery avoids the leakage of harmful substances in traditional batteries and can be treated as general household waste after use. The development company stated that this kind of battery is also very cheap, and when it is capable of mass production, the price is only 1 cent.

Dr. Zhang Xiachang, chief technology officer of Enfucell Corporation and a Chinese scientist, is the main developer of this paper-based battery. Zhang Xiachang said that the battery can be used as a power source for smart cards, music cards and electronic newspapers, and can be used for RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) electronic tags. With the rapid development of RF ID technology, the potential market for such paper batteries is expected to reach several billion US dollars.
