摘要

While there has been much recent research on the development of flexible or wearable electronic devices that can be integrated into clothes,glasses,watches and even skin,a bottleneck in this technology appears to be the power source.Thus,one of the most significant issues impeding the success of these newly developed portable gadgets is the development of flexible electrochemical energy-storage devices,which can convert chemical energy and electricity,reversibly.Currently,the most suitable candidates for this purpose are flexible batteries,in particular,lithium-ion batteries (LIBs).Flexible batteries are devices that can work in a range of elastic states and retain electrochemical performance during various deformation processes,such as stretching and bending [1].
