Review on carbonaceous materials and metal composites in deformable electrodes for flexible lithium-ion batteries

Abstract

With the rapid propagation of flexible electronic devices, flexible lithium-ion batteries (FLIBs) are emerging as the most promising energy supplier among all of the energy storage devices owing to their high energy and power densities with good cycling stability. As a key component of FLIBs, to date, researchers have tried to develop newly designed high-performance electrochemically and mechanically stable pliable electrodes. To synthesize better quality flexible electrodes, based on high conductivity and mechanical strength of carbonaceous materials and metals, several research studies have been conducted. Despite both materials-based electrodes demonstrating excellent electrochemical and mechanical performances in the laboratory experimental process, they cannot meet the expected demands of stable flexible electrodes with high energy density. After all, various significant issues associated with them need to be overcome, for instance, poor electrochemical performance, the rapid decay of the electrode architecture during deformation, and complicated as well as costly production processes thus limiting their expansive applications. Herein, the recent progression in the exploration of carbonaceous materials and metals based flexible electrode materials are summarized and discussed, with special focus on determining their relative electrochemical performance and structural stability based on recent advancement. Major factors for the future advancement of FLIBs in this field are also discussed.
