What are fiber energy storage devices containing solid-state supercapacitors and lithium-ion batteries?

In this review, fiber electrodes and flexible fiber energy storage devices containing solid-state supercapacitors (SCs) and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are carefully summarized with particular emphasis on their electrode fabrication, structure design and flexibility.

What are fiber energy storage devices?

To realize fiber energy storage devices with high capacities and high mechanical robustness, flexible binder-free composite fiber electrodes using nanostructured metal oxide as active materials, CNT fibers and GFs as substrates are promising choices.

How to realize true fiber-shaped integrated energy system?

To realize true fiber-shaped integrated energy system, all parts of the devices should be fabricated into a fiber structure. In other words, all parts including energy conversion, energy storage and sensors should be achieved on a single fiber.

Are carbon fiber-based batteries a key innovation in the transition to energy sustainability?

Can carbon fibers be used in energy storage technologies?

The third problem is associated with the unsatisfied electrochemical performance of pure carbon fibers when used in energy storage technologies [48, 49]. More attention should be paid to coupling carbon fibers with other electroactive electrode materials to synergistically enhance the electrochemical performance.

What are flexible fiber-shaped energy storage devices?

Flexible fiber-shaped energy storage devices have been studied and developed intensively over the past few years to meet the demands of modern electronics in terms of flexibility, weavability and being lightweight.
