Paper Battery
The creation of the paper battery drew from a diverse pool
of disciplines, requiring expertise in materials science, energy storage and
chemistry. In august 2007, a research team at Rensselear polytechnic Institute
led by Drs. Robert Linhardt , the Ann and John H.Broad Bent , senior
constellation professors of bio catalysis and Metabolic engineering at
Rensselaer, the Pulickel M.Ajayan , Professor of materials science and
engineering AND Omkaram Nalamasu , professor of chemistry with a joint
appointment in Material science and engineering developed the paper battery,
also known as nano composite paper.
Battery Chemistry
Battery Chemistry Electrochemical reaction - a chemical
reaction between elements which creates electrons. Oxidation occurs on the metals(electrodes),
which creates the electrons. Electrons are transferred down the pile via the
saltwater paper(the electrodes). A charge is introduced at one pole, which
builds as it moves down the pile.
