Flexible Zn-Ion Batteries: Recent Progresses and Challenges.

To keep pace with the increasing pursuit of portable and wearable electronics, it is urgent to develop advanced flexible power supplies. In this context, Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs) have garnered increasing attention as favorable energy storage devices for flexible electronics, owing to the high capacity, low cost, abundant resources, high safety, and eco-friendliness. Extensive efforts have been devoted to developing flexible ZIBs in the last few years. This work summarizes the recent achievements in the design, fabrication, and characterization of flexible ZIBs. Representative structures, such as sandwich and cable type, are particularly highlighted. Special emphasis is put on the novel design of electrolyte and electrode, which aims to endow reliable flexibility to the fabricated ZIBs. Moreover, current challenges and future opportunities for the development of high-performance flexible ZIBs are also outlined.
