Printable batteries to make light work of embedded electronics
“The research, led by Prof. Reinhard Baumann of the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Electronic Nano Systems, obtained these innovative cells by making use of a silk-screen printing method that very closely resembles the one used to print on T-shirts and road signs. […] The batteries weigh less than 1g each, are less than a millimeter thick, and are also environmentally friendly in that they don’t contained any mercury. What’s more, the cells are quite inexpensive — the researchers hope they can be mass-produced and sold at less than USD$0.10 apiece — and erogate a standard 1.5V voltage like a normal battery.”
