Recent Advances in Flexible Wearable Supercapacitors: Properties, Fabrication, and Applications

Abstract: A supercapacitor is a potential electrochemical energy storage device with high‐power density (PD) for driving flexible, smart, electronic devices. In particular, flexible supercapacitors (FSCs) have reliable mechanical and electrochemical properties and have become an important part of wearable, smart, electronic devices. It is noteworthy that the flexible electrode, electrolyte, separator and current collector all play key roles in overall FSCs. In this review, the unique mechanical properties, structural designs and fabrication methods of each flexible component are systematically classified, summarized and discussed based on the recent progress of FSCs. Further, the practical applications of FSCs are delineated, and the opportunities and challenges of FSCs in wearable technologies are proposed. The development of high‐performance FSCs will greatly promote electricity storage toward more practical and widely varying fields. However, with the development of portable equipment, simple FSCs cannot satisfy the needs of integrated and intelligent flexible wearable devices for long durations. It is anticipated that the combining an FSC and a flexible power source such as flexible solar cells is an effective strategy to solve this problem. This review also includes some discussions of flexible self‐powered devices.
