Researchers have been looking into all sorts of possibilities to device out the best possible combination to develop the finest, most efficient and innovative batteries. Stepping in the direction, researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute have developed ultra-thin batteries that can also be printed. The new battery is thinner than a millimeter, weighs lighter than one gram, and can be produced cost-effectively through a printing process. These mercury-free batteries are created in manganese cathode and zinc anode, are silk-screen printed and can produce about 1.5volts of electricity individually and to about 6volts collectively. Great for small application which require lesser power backup; these batteries could reach into production by the end of the year.
