In this study, dual-function battery and supercapacitor devices for skin-interfaced wearable electronics are developed by a simple and scalable transfer printing method, featuring a thickness of less than 50 μm.
Increasing the porosity and thus the ion conductivity of the nanofiber membrane reduces internal electrical resistance, enhancing the input/output performance. In addition, since reducing the thickness of the insulating layer helps increase the battery capacity, the skin-coated electrode improves both input/output power and capacity.
Battery textiles integrate energy storage into wearable devices, representing an ultimate target of wearable electronics. Zhang et al. fabricated an emerging fiber-shaped aqueous Li-ion battery with a polyimide/CNT hybrid fiber as the anode and LiMn 2 O 4 /CNT hybrid fiber as the cathode.
Here, inspired by the structure and function of human skin, a skin-like bionic protective layer MES is constructed on the surface of K metal to protect the metal electrode by improving the interface stability and inhibiting the growth of dendrites (Fig. 1c, d). MES is composed of GO and enhances the in situ formation of SEI (Fig. 1e).
When used for a 10Ah cell * This is a design estimate and the value depends on the product in which a skin-coated electrode is to be used. This new technology partly makes use of the results developed with funding from Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).
Metal potassium anodes show great potential in high energy density batteries. However, their practical application is hindered by the unstable nature of the highly active metal surface. Here, authors propose a “metal skin” approach that stabilizes the surface of the metal, resulting in improved cycle life of potassium metal anode-based batteries.
