"Free-Standing Fabrication of Energy Storing Structural Sheets Using Print Forming Technology"

The proprietary PowerWrapper™ technology of the Paper Battery Company consists of massively parallel, arrayed cells in thin stackable sheets (~100-300 microns each) that can store and deliver high power bursts as high amperage pulses at high voltage. Alpha prototypes of single and multi-layer devices have recently been fabricated using multiple print forming technologies. The objective of this brief presentation is to provide an overview of the PowerWrapper™ technology and provide a build sequence through highlighting the challenges to making free-standing structural sheeting materials that store energy. A promising material dubbed E-Tape, a sort of hybrid between duct tape and flexible supercapacitors, will also be discussed as an early prototyping tool for engineers. More specifically, topics such as print formed porous separators, hairy particle based building blocks, and low density current collectors will be covered in the discussion.
