Mechanical Performances

Planar and rigid conventional electronics are intrinsically incompatible with curvilinear and deformable devices. The recent development of organic and inorganic flexible and stretchable electronics enables the production of various applications, such as soft robots, flexible displays, wearable electronics, electronic skins, bendable phones, and implantable medical devices. To power these devices, persistent efforts have thus been expended to develop a flexible energy storage system that can be ideally deformed while maintaining its electrochemical performance. In this review, the enabling technologies of the electrochemical and mechanical performances of flexible devices are summarized. The investigations demonstrate the improvement of electrochemical performance via the adoption of new materials and alternative reactions. Moreover, the strategies used to develop novel materials and distinct design configurations are introduced in the following sections.

Flexible and stretchable electronics have attracted extensive attention and research efforts recently. As an indispensible component, energy storage device that is able to bear large mechanical strain and be integrated with the stretchable electronics makes the whole system stretchable. Here we report reversibly stretchable supercapacitors using buckled single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) macro-films as the electrodes, which have controllable wavy geometries and show extremely high mechanical stretchability with the utility of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as the elastomeric substrates. The stretchable supercapacitors exhibit very stable capacitance under cyclic stretching and releasing, and comparable energy and power densities with those using pristine SWNT macro-films as electrodes.
