I did a search on cr4, because I thought there was an article about 2 years ago about paint on batteries, but I couldn't find it.

I like the concept.

I see these batteries though being practical only in one time only (aka disposable) applications. This brings up two critical concerns for using these spray on batteries, shelf life and disposal. I see the shelf life concern as a very normal engineering concern that means careful choosing of where and how this technology gets used. Since one cannot easily remove this battery, waste disposal concerns of nano-material may keep this technology from being used in production.

Similar ideas have been around for years. Hope it becomes practical. I am also watching the progress of solar window glass and solar roofs for progress. Cheap natural gas is an impediment to investing in solar and wind technology. Wealthy greenies will have to jump start some of these products.

The "Huffers" will short circuit their face and the FDA will take it off the market.
