The materials employed in the construction of flexible lithium-ion batteries (FLIBs) include carbon nanotubes, graphene, carbon fibres, and conductive polymers for electrodes, alongside solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) and gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) for the electrolytes.
Herein, we systematically and comprehensively review the fundamentals and recent progresses of flexible batteries in terms of these important aspects. Specifically, we first discuss the requirements for constituent components, including the current collector, electrolyte, and separator, in flexible batteries.
In this work, we have reported different flexible electrode materials that are commonly used in flexible battery devices. A brief description of carbon‐based flexible materials, metal oxides, and natural fiber‐based flexible materials has been discussed in the chapter.
Up to now, various flexible and stretchable materials have been developed and widely used as packing materials for flexible/stretchable batteries, exhibiting good performances in mechanical performance while maintaining the good battery performance.
An ideal flexible battery would have not only just high electrochemical performance but also excellent mechanical deformabilities. Therefore, battery constituent components, chemistry systems, device configurations, and practical applications are all pivotal aspects that should be thoroughly considered.
Applications of flexible batteries most likely seek for materials/structures that can achieve trade-offs in performance and flexibility.

In general, a battery is made of one or several galvanic cells, where each cell consists of cathode, anode, separator, and in many cases current collectors. In flexible batteries all these components need to be flexible. These batteries can be fabricated into different shapes and sizes and by different methods. One approach is to use polymer binders to fabricate composite electrodes where conductive additives are used to enhance their conductivity. The electrode materials can …
