flexible battery can power wearables - lithium ion rechargeable battery

South Korean scientists have developed a kind of stretching lithium-
Ion batteries that power the next generation of wearable devices.
Using Mixed carbon/polymer (HCP)
As a collector, the research team developed high
According to a study published in the journal Advanced Energy Materials, a stretched rechargeable battery based on water electrolyte.
"Our findings are expected to expand the number of stretchable nano-composites that have both electro-chemical and mechanical properties that can be used in a variety of applications," said Kwanyong Seo . ", Professor, National Institute of Science and Technology (UNIST).
Tensile electronic equipment has attracted great attention recently.
Power generation equipment due to its huge flexibility.
The growing interest and demand for flexible electronics has driven the study of high tensile electrodes with high mechanical durability and high conductivity.
Although many methods have been proposed for these electrodes, none of them can achieve high scalability of the electrodes at the same time and have a scalable manufacturing process.
This study, led by Professor Soojin Park of UNIST, solves these problems using conductive polymer composites consisting of mixed carbon fillers containing carbon nanotubes and carbon black, in simple
The structure is similar in shape to the Brazilian Vine Jabuticaba tree, the researchers said.
The research team observed that strain composite material effectively maintained its conductivity under strain.
