The paper battery: light and efficient and great for EVs

A group of developers from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed an integrated paper material that is able to store and release electricity. The created sample was barely the size of a post stamp but was able to produce 2.3 V of electricity. The investigators' target is creating a ream so large it could power an electric car.
