A Disruptive Cost Model for Grid Level Storage with Print-Formed, Energy Storing Structural Sheets

Robert Miller, CTO: Dr Miller, Materials Physicist, is a veteran of taking complex electronic materials and devices into high volume production, with many years at HP and HP Labs where he was an inventor on core patents in the inkjet platform. In his last position, as head of R&D at MTI MicroFuel Cells, his creative insights led to several key patents.

Shreefal Mehta is the founding CEO of the Paper Battery Company. Building from a robust scientific and technical background, Shreefal Mehta has successfully translated science into commercial products. Shreefal's skills in commercializing technology have led to success in various projects—from the market planning and launch of a multimillion dollar analytical product for the petrochemical industry to the founding of a drug discovery company and its merger with a public biotech in Australia. He was awarded the New York capital region's Future Business Leaders '40 under 40' Award and is the author of the widely referenced book "Commercializing successful Biomedical Technologies".

The Paper Battery Company's product is a scalable printed and flexible sheet of energy storage material, leveraging existing supercapacitor technology, to make a long lived, structurally integrated material. The breakthrough of the PowerWrapper™ technology platform, invented in the company, is a unique method of tying the components together so that the integrated device sheet can be scaled in size without any casing. The ultra-thin, scalable form factor with high voltage and power opens new market applications- from powering portable electronics to grid level storage. The company will bring to market technology that is directed at the future needs for energy storage where moldable sheets of super-capacitors and batteries that efficiently meet power and energy demands will disappear into the body of the device that needs to be powered.
