discharge and charge. These problems cause early cell death, poor Coulombic efficiency (CE), rapid cycling capacity decay, and catastrophic thermal runaway. [9][10][11][12] To overcome the above thorny issues, extensive endeavors have been revived and a number of strategies have been proposed and practiced. For example, strengthening the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) films by engineering liquid electrolytes with functional additives (LiNO 3 , Cs + , LiF, etc.) or employing solid electrolytes to prevent the Li dendrites. [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] However, these efforts cannot accommodate the infinite volume changes of Li metal during lithium stripping/plating, which can damage the contact interfaces between the electrolytes and Li anodes for continuous charge/discharge cycling. Porous and conductive scaffolds are expected to simultaneously suppress the Li dendrite growth and minimize the volume changes of Li metal electrodes. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26] Such host materials with a large specific surface area not only lower the local effective current density to form a uniform Li-ion flux but also provide an ample space to accommodate Li. Multifarious porous metal foams, such as 3D porous Cu foils and Cu-Ni core-shell nanowire networks, have behaved as effective hosts of Li. [23,27,28] However, the high mass density of these porous metals dramatically reduces the overall energy density of the composite electrodes, and dissipates the advantages of Li-metal anodes in specific capacity and energy density. In this respect, it is highly desirable to develop lightweight, flexible, conductive, and porous host materials with a lower interfacial energy with lithium.Lightweight porous carbon materials, including carbon nanotube and graphene exhibit distinct advantages over porous metals. [10,[29][30][31][32][33] The appealing characteristics of low mass density, excellent electrical conductivity, and chemical stability render them as promising host materials of Li anodes. [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41] However, these carbon skeletons are usually lithium-phobic and require Li seed growth or additional lithiophilic surface modification to load Li. [42][43][44][45][46][47] Additionally, conventional porous carbon hosts with relatively large pore size (>10 µm) cannot efficiently dissipate large current densities due to limited surface areas, deteriorating the high rate performance of Limetal anodes. [29,31,36] Technically, it is difficult to efficiently pack 1D carbon nanotube and 2D graphene sheets into a 3D porous structure that can simultaneously achieve high porosity, largeThe key bottlenecks hindering the practical implementations of lithiummetal anodes in high-energy-density rechargeable batteries are the uncontrolled dendrite growth and infinite volume changes during charging and discharging, which lead to short lifespan and catastrophic safety hazards. In principle, these problems can be mitigated or even solved by loading lithium into a high-surface-area, conductive, and lithiophilic porous scaffold. However, ...

Flexible substrates play a decisive effect on the functions of flexible energy storage devices. However, systematical investigation and understanding of often-used flexible carbon-based substrates is lack. In this work, a reliable cotton cloth induced flexible hierarchical carbon film is facilely obtained. The synthesized-carbonized cotton cloth (SCC) owns distinctive carbon nature with perfect order level and defects, unique porous microstructure, and crosslinked-network. The SCC exhibits favorable flexibility, fast kinetics, high structural and electro-chemical durability with high performance (239.4 mAh g À 1 and 155.2 mAh g À 1 at 0.01 A g À 1 in the ether-and ester-based electrolyte in sodium-ion batteries, respectively), superior to commonly-used commercial carbon cloth and graphene film. In addition, the predominant surface-controlled reaction mechanism, effective solid electrolyte interphase and favorable compatible features with different electrolytes are also intensively studied.

“…Metal‐based materials, such as silver, gold, lithium, and copper, can be used as a stretchable current collector and/or an active material in batteries . Compared with carbon‐based materials, metal‐based materials typically have higher electrical conductivity (10 7 S m −1 at 20 °C), which enables electrons to be effectively transferred to them as active materials, resulting in an increase in the charge/discharge rate . For this reason, metal‐based materials (e. g., copper, aluminum, and stainless steel) have typically been used as current collectors.…”

With the rapidly approaching implementation of wearable electronic devices such as implantable devices, stretchable sensors, and healthcare devices, stretchable power sources have aroused worldwide attention as a key component in this emerging field. Among stretchable power sources, batteries, which store electrical energy through redox reactions during charge/discharge processes, are an attractive candidate because of their high energy density, high output voltage, and long‐term stability. In recent years, extensive efforts have been devoted to developing new materials and innovative structural designs for stretchable batteries. This review covers the latest advances in stretchable batteries, focusing on advanced stretchable materials and their design strategies. First, we provide a detailed overview of the materials aspects of components in a stretchable battery, including electrode materials, solid‐state electrolytes, and stretchable separator membranes. Second, we provide an overview on various structural engineering strategies to impart stretchability to batteries (i. e., wavy/buckling structures, island‐bridge structures, and origami/kirigami structures). Third, we summarize recently reported developments in stretchable batteries based on various chemistries, including Li‐based batteries, multivalent‐based batteries, and metal‐air batteries. Finally, we discuss the future perspectives and remaining challenges toward the practical application of stretchable batteries with reliable mechanical robustness and stable electrochemical performance under a physical strain.
