Eco-Friendly,High Perfomance Paper Battery Mimics Plant Respiration


Tohoku University's Breakthrough: Eco-Friendly, High-Performance Paper Battery Mimics Plant Respiration TECHNOLOGY Tohoku University Researchers Develop Eco-Friendly, High-Performance Paper Battery Inspired by Plant Respiration Researchers from the Advanced Institute for Materials Research at Tohoku University have made a significant breakthrough in sustainable energy technology with the development of a high-performance, water-activated paper battery. The innovative battery design, inspired by the energy generation process in plant respiration, achieves remarkable performance using exclusively environmentally friendly materials.

The team, consisting of Kosuke Ishibashi, Shimpei Ono, Jun Kamei, Koju Itod, and Hiroshi Yabu, sought to create a battery that mimics the way plants harness energy from oxygen and water during respiration. In contrast, AZUL is a safe, sustainable, and cost-effective alternative that exhibits high ORR activity under neutral pH conditions, making it an ideal choice for eco-friendly paper batteries. "By leveraging the principles of plant respiration and combining them with carefully selected, eco-friendly materials, we have created a battery that not only delivers exceptional performance but also minimizes environmental impact.
