Ultra-thin batteries can be printed out

Chemnitz, Germany - German scientists have created batteries so thin that they can be printed out, and reckon they'll be doing it on a commercial scale by the end of the year.

The research team, led by Professor Reinhard Baumann of the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Electronic Nano Systems (ENAS), has already produced the batteries on a laboratory scale. "Our goal is to be able to mass produce the batteries at a price of single digit cent range each," said Dr Andreas Willert, group manager at ENAS.
