“…14–18 There are also several focused reviews ranging from structural engineering to enable stretchability, 34,35 battery systems such as aqueous, 26,27,36 metal–air, 37 nanowire, 38 and microbattery, 39 and application centred topics for skin-interfaced and implantable wearables. 21,22,29 Here, we will not delve into details of the various strategies as they have been previously covered in review articles. Instead, we will provide our perspective on the challenges facing the current stretchable battery technology, which are the mechanical and electrochemical performance (challenge I) and its sustainability and biocompatibility (challenge II), as illustrated in Fig.…”
