Paper Battery

Researchers lead by Yi Cui at the University of Standford have developed a paper battery using nanotechnology. Its always best to be skeptical of research labs that claim that their technologies will be ready for the market soon, as claims can be exaggerated however there are real possibilities for an ink that could store electricity. They suggest possible uses being in cars and inside cell batteries to make them lighter however what else could be coated or printed onto - fabric? Perhaps a dress that has both solar panels and a surface design that stores that energy?
