Textile‐Based Electrochemical Energy Storage Devices

TLDR

Wearable and flexible energy storage devices have attracted growing interest, yet balancing electrochemical performance, mechanical robustness, and scalable processing remains a challenge. This review examines textile‑based electrochemical energy storage devices (TEESDs) that leverage textile components to improve both energy storage capacity and mechanical properties for wearable electronics. The review discusses material preparation, electrode and device fabrication strategies, electrochemical performance metrics, wearable compatibility, and scalability of TEESDs, covering textile‑based supercapacitors and lithium‑ion batteries.

Abstract

In the past few years, insensitive attentions have been drawn to wearable and flexible energy storage devices/systems along with the emergence of wearable electronics. Much progress has been achieved in developing flexible electrochemical energy storage devices with high end‐use performance. However, challenges still remain in well balancing the electrochemical properties, mechanical properties, and the processing technologies. In this review, a specific perspective on the development of textile‐based electrochemical energy storage devices (TEESDs), in which textile components and technologies are utilized to enhance the energy storage ability and mechanical properties of wearable electronic devices, is provided. The discussion focuses on the material preparation and characteristics, electrode and device fabrication strategies, electrochemical performance and metrics, wearable compatibility, and fabrication scalability of TEESDs including textile‐based supercapacitors and lithium‐ion batteries.
