The increasing adoption of additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is revolutionizing the production of wearable electronics and energy storage devices (ESD) such as batteries, supercapacitors, and fuel cells. This surge can be attributed to its outstanding process versatility, precise control over geometrical aspects, and potential to reduce costs and material waste. In this comprehensive review, major AM processes like inkjet printing, direct ink writing, fused deposition modeling, and selective laser sintering/melting along with possible configurations and architectures, are elaborately discussed for each bespoke ESD. The application of 3D‐printed energy storage devices in wearable electronics, Internet of Things (IoT)‐based devices, and electric vehicles are also mentioned in the review. The role of AM in facilitating the production of solid‐state batteries has also revolutionized the electric vehicle (EV) industry. Recent progress in the field of AM of energy systems with solid electrolytes and potential future directions such as 4D printing to incorporate stimuli‐responsive behavior in 3D‐printed materials, biomimetic design optimization, and additive manufacturing of ESD in a micro‐gravity environment have also been highlighted. Extensive research and continuous progress in this field are expected to enhance the longetivity, industrial scalability, and electrochemical performance of 3D‐printed energy storage devices in future.

Employment of electrochemical energy devices is being expanded as the world is shifting toward more sustainable power resources. To meet the required cost efficiency standards for commercialization, there is a need for optimal design of the electrodes. In this study, a topology optimization method is proposed to increase the performance of an electrochemical reaction-diffusion system. A dimensionless model is developed to characterize the transport and rate processes in the system. Two optimization strategies are introduced to improve system performance using a heterogeneous distribution of constituents. In addition, an entropy generation model is proposed to evaluate the system irreversibilities quantitatively. The findings show that the system performance could be enhanced up to 116.7% with an optimal tree-root-like structure. Such a heterogeneous material distribution provides a balance among various competing transport and rate processes. The proposed methodology could be employed in optimal design of electrodes for various electrochemical devices. This study also offers a fundamental comprehension of optimal designs by showing the connection between the optimal designs and the entropy generation. It is revealed that a less dissipating system corresponds to a more uniform current and entropy generation. Some recommendations are also made in choosing a proper optimization approach for electrochemical systems.
