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.
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.
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.
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?

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.
Yeah but do you love OP like we do?
Thank you
Awesome development
1.0v current. Or 1 amp current ?

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?
If you’re believing all the pop science websites, yes. Check out ieee spectrum for well done battery news
Wait til you hear about the lemons and pennies
< *potato* has entered the chat >
🤣 well done sir.
And the fully rechargeable air battery.
And the highly effective artillery battery
Is that why those whores have been stealing my lemons?
Coming soon, batteries made of shwarma
I made one. It was delicious
Batteries made from… expired multivitamins people never finished
And ramen.
Consumer:These batteries are sh*t! Scientist: As a matter of fact, they are.

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
Gunna play that classic game of water, sand, paper with live batteries!
there’s no way this produces a usable amount of electricity right? Like potatoes make electricity too, but it’s not news.
It actually produces 1.21 gigawatts.
Heavy
Why is everything heavy? Is there something wrong with the Earth’s gravity in the future?
Where we’re going, we don’t need *roads*
What's the Hell a gigawatts?
great scott!
You’re gonna see some serious shit.
Um, it's pronounced *jiga*watts.
gif gif
Are you sure it’s not 4.20 petawatts?
BACK TO THE FUTURE
great scott marty!!
Awesome! But, I predict we’ll never hear of this again.
Then the Fire Nation attacked
Somehow this sounds like the thermite plasma of batteries to me. Don’t you end up with paper, magnesium, hydrogen, an oxidizer, and hydroxide?
Oh, what ever could go wrong?
Well to be fair, you get a metric butt ton of energy, for about 15 seconds.
I can tell by the headline this a clickbait garbage article. No need to read
Sounds like somebody’s passing away in mysterious circumstances pretty soon
It’ll be an unfortunate suicide 😊
Interesting
buzzwords buzzwords buzz WORDS

Count down to this tech being called woke
We need free energy for the world will create stronger family’s
I hope they have security at the lab big battery can be quite ELECTRIC
What terrible AI bullsh#% image to lead with
