So this new battery doesn't catch fire when you hold it over a flame and it's even partially made of paper. A startup in Singapore called Flint created what they called the paper battery and they just started production in January. It uses zinc and magnesium dioxide, the same reliable combo found in everyday alkaline batteries. But Flint weaves cellulose, the stuff that makes paper into every component. There's no lithium, no cobalt, no nickel and no forever chemicals. That means no toxic mining and no risk of explosion. Which are all issues with current battery technology. What's also cool is that it can be flat and bendable like a sheet of paper or shaped like a regular AA battery. And despite the soft chemistry, it actually delivers up to 4.2 volts which matches lithium ion with 1000 recharge cycles. The company says its cost per kilowatt hour is 1.8 times lower than lithium ion and the battery is fully composable at the end of its life. Flint has already partnered with Logitech to pod the batteries and their devices and the goal is to eventually replace the lithium powering everyday electronics around your home.
