A team has succeeded in developing world’s first stretchable aqueous Li-ion batteries that may power the next generation of wearable devices. A recent study, affiliated with UNIST has presented a bioinspired Jabuticaba-like hybrid carbon/polymer (HCP) composite that was developed into a stretchable current collector using a simple and cost-effective solution process. Using the HCP composite as a stretchable current collector, the research team has, for the first time, developed a highly stretchable rechargeable lithium-ion battery (ARLB) based on aqueous electrolytes.

Stretchable electronic devices have recently attracted tremendous attention as next-generation devices due to their immense flexibility...
