Sony creates a prototype paper battery
-
The Japanese brand Sony has presented at the Eco-Products 2011 fair in Tokyo the first steps of Bio-Battery, a new technology for ecological batteries based on recycled materials.
Sony's idea has as an essential component a mixture based on cellulose enzymes, oxygen and glucose.
Basically, the decomposition of those cellulose enzymes allows to create electrons, which are channeled through an electrical circuit to produce energy.
It should be noted that Sony's invention is not only applicable to paper, since other products could be recycled for the same purposes.
However, at the moment the main challenge for the company's researchers is to achieve that the new technology can produce enough energy for high-consumption devices.
Apparently, with the results achieved in the tests carried out to date, the bio-batteries only produce enough energy for a digital music player.
