The document summarizes a paper battery, which is an ultra-thin, flexible energy storage device made by combining carbon nanotubes with paper. It acts as both a battery and supercapacitor. Paper batteries are produced by infusing paper with carbon nanotubes and silver nanowires. They work similarly to lithium-ion batteries by allowing lithium ions to carry current between electrodes during charging and discharging. Paper batteries have advantages over conventional batteries in being lightweight, flexible, low-cost and able to function when bent or folded. However, issues remain regarding the expense of carbon nanotubes and the battery only producing a low voltage currently. Future applications could include powering electronics if performance improves.
