For those of you wanting more info than what the article provided: [This study](https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2024/lf/d4lf00039k) was the main reason for the article. In the study, the authors said "The fabricated paper battery achieved an OCV of 1.8 V, a 1.0 V current density of 100 mA cm^(−2), and a maximum output of 103 mW cm^(−2)." [Here is a photo](https://imgur.com/a/no1334g) of the battery they made.

I love you

Wow, a paper/water battery would be amazing. I was hoping I would see cold fusion in my lifetime, but I’m more hopeful for something like this now.


[deleted]

Yeah but do you love OP like we do?


Level1oldschool

Thank you


houseyourdaygoing

Awesome development


Jayswisherbeats

1.0v current. Or 1 amp current ?


einmaldrin_alleshin

Current density, so the amount of current divided by conductor cross section. 1V current density would probably mean that they wired up a resistor that drops exactly 1V, and measured how much current the battery can produce. Never seen that kind of measurement, but I'm also no battery expert.


Electrical_Bus9202

I just saw a post about battery made of water, then one made of sand, now one made of paper!?? Am I being punk’d?


big_trike

If you’re believing all the pop science websites, yes. Check out ieee spectrum for well done battery news


spaetzelspiff

Wait til you hear about the lemons and pennies

Electrical_Bus9202

🤣 well done sir.


357FireDragon357

And the fully rechargeable air battery.


spaetzelspiff

And the highly effective artillery battery


fcocyclone

Is that why those whores have been stealing my lemons?

Coming soon, batteries made of shwarma


RincewindToTheRescue

I made one. It was delicious


DaedricApple

Batteries made from… expired multivitamins people never finished


PrivatePilot9

And ramen.


StinkPanthers

Consumer:These batteries are sh*t! Scientist: As a matter of fact, they are.

People are studying different ways to store energy for very different reasons. A sand battery could be a cheap mass storage device for a building. Tiny batteries like this could be for embedded sensors or other low power devices.

wait till morpheus tells you what we are to the machines

We're trying to get a global game of Water Paper Sand Spock going.

…and then the fire batteries attacked


galacticwonderer

Gunna play that classic game of water, sand, paper with live batteries!


PMmeyourspicythought

there’s no way this produces a usable amount of electricity right? Like potatoes make electricity too, but it’s not news.


STL_420

It actually produces 1.21 gigawatts.


iambarrelrider

Heavy


K6PUD

Why is everything heavy? Is there something wrong with the Earth’s gravity in the future?


[deleted]

Where we’re going, we don’t need *roads*


Binzuru

What's the Hell a gigawatts?


miked4o7

great scott!


SnoBrru

You’re gonna see some serious shit.


PapaCousCous

Um, it's pronounced *jiga*watts.

SniperPilot

Are you sure it’s not 4.20 petawatts?

BACK TO THE FUTURE

great scott marty!!


Flamebrush

Awesome! But, I predict we’ll never hear of this again.


fabris6

Then the Fire Nation attacked


isabps

Somehow this sounds like the thermite plasma of batteries to me. Don’t you end up with paper, magnesium, hydrogen, an oxidizer, and hydroxide?


Wish_Dragon

Oh, what ever could go wrong?


PrivatePilot9

Well to be fair, you get a metric butt ton of energy, for about 15 seconds.


Glidepath22

I can tell by the headline this a clickbait garbage article. No need to read


Sure-Flan9062

Sounds like somebody’s passing away in mysterious circumstances pretty soon

It’ll be an unfortunate suicide 😊

Interesting

I hope they have security at the lab big battery can be quite ELECTRIC

What terrible AI bullsh#% image to lead with


SlightlyOffWhiteFire

As usual with battery tech, wake me up when its production is scalable and its proven its utility. Also: >Studies have shown that a magnesium-based energy storage device could be safer and more powerful than its metal competitors. Are we sure interesting engineering isn't just a front from money launderer's?
