Power paper

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Power Paper, while the name of a company, has come to be the term referring to an ultra-thin battery.

Power paper is an emerging technology which is thin, flexible and environment-friendly, allowing integration into a wide range of products. Their functioning is similar to conventional chemical batteries with the important difference that they are non-corrosive and do not require a bulky housing.

There are many uses for this new technology, including health care to power tiny medical diagnostic equipment and even drug delivery patches. A German healthcare company called KSW Microtech is already using the battery to power monitoring of the temperature of blood supplies.
