The research in high performance flexible lithium ion batteries (FLIBs) thrives with the increasing demand in novel flexible electronics such as wearable devices and implantable medical kits. FLIBs share the same working mechanism with traditional LIBs. Meanwhile, FLIBs need to exhibit flexibility and even bendable and stretchable features.
The latest advances in the exploration of other flexible battery systems such as lithium–sulfur, Zn–C (MnO 2) and sodium-ion batteries, as well as related electrode materials are included. Finally, the prospects and challenges toward the practical uses of flexible lithium-ion batteries in electronic devices are discussed.
The materials employed in the construction of flexible lithium-ion batteries (FLIBs) include carbon nanotubes, graphene, carbon fibres, and conductive polymers for electrodes, alongside solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) and gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) for the electrolytes.
Some other structures have emerged in the study of flexible batteries, including FLIBs and flexible lithium-air batteries (FLABs). As shown in Fig. 7 e and f, Zhang et al. introduced ancient Chinese calligraphy art in the research of FLABs, and proposed paper folding and bamboo slip structures [108, 109].
3. Structural Design of Flexible Solid-State Lithium-Ion Batteries Structural design is crucial for flexible lithium-ion batteries (FLIBs) and is vital in improving battery flexibility and application scenarios [9, 101].
In general, a battery is made of one or several galvanic cells, where each cell consists of cathode, anode, separator, and in many cases current collectors. In flexible batteries all these components need to be flexible. These batteries can be fabricated into different shapes and sizes and by different methods.
