Flexible/Stretchable Supercapacitors with Novel Functionality for Wearable Electronics

Abstract With the miniaturization of personal wearable electronics, considerable effort has been expended to develop high‐performance flexible/stretchable energy storage devices for powering integrated active devices. Supercapacitors can fulfill this role owing to their simple structures, high power density, and cyclic stability. Moreover, a high electrochemical performance can be achieved with flexible/stretchable supercapacitors, whose applications can be expanded through the introduction of additional novel functionalities. Here, recent advances in and future prospects for flexible/stretchable supercapacitors with innate functionalities are covered, including biodegradability, self‐healing, shape memory,…
