Researchers Have Created a Spray-on Battery

Researchers at Rice University are using carbon nanotubes to create rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that can be spray painted onto almost any surface. The battery consists of spray painted layers where each layer represents the different components in a traditional battery. The team demonstrates their device in the video below using nine ceramic tiles coated with the paint and connected to each other. When they were charged, the batteries powered a set of LEDs for six hours, providing a steady 2.4 volts.
