Could Paper Power the Next Generation of Devices?

As revolutionary as paper-based bio-batteries are for future electronic devices, they're fairly straightforward to make.

Excerpt:

Modern electronics are filled with circuit boards on which various metals and plastics are soldered together. Some of these materials are toxic—or break down into toxic substances. There are efforts underway to boost recycling of e-waste, recovering materials that can be reused and properly disposing of the rest. But most devices end up added to the growing piles of e-waste in landfills.

Instead of adding more trash to these ever-growing piles, there is an opportunity to create electronics that are biodegradable. That's why other researchers and I are looking to the emerging field of paper-based electronics—known as "papertronics." They're flexible—even foldable—sustainable, friendly to the environment and low-cost.

But to be truly eco-friendly, papertronics can't use traditional batteries, which are made of metals and caustic acids, to store and discharge electricity. Recently, my chemist colleague Omowunmi Sadik and I developed a paper battery that's recyclable and biodegradable, as well as reliable enough to actually use. The key is bacteria.

I was invited by my friend Jérémie Cortial for a drawing session with children during the "peinture fraîche" exhibition in Lyon. Jérémie and a friend, Milan Miletich, developed a game system based on shapes and colors recognition called "Papertronics". The system scans the drawing and cast a 'game and watch game like' on paper.As he draw, the player become proactive. All drawings are then exposed.
