Graphical Abstract

Wearable electronic devices: A wearable aqueous lithium-ion battery based on a spinel Li_1.1Mn₂O₄ cathode and a carbon-coated LiTi₂(PO₄)₃ anode offered a high safety standard and showed excellent flexibility, and a large volumetric energy density.

Abstract

A flexible and wearable aqueous lithium-ion battery is introduced based on spinel Li_1.1Mn₂O₄ cathode and a carbon-coated NASICON-type LiTi₂(PO₄)₃ anode (NASICON=sodium-ion super ionic conductor). Energy densities of 63 Wh kg⁻¹ or 124 mWh cm⁻³ and power densities of 3 275 W kg⁻¹ or 11.1 W cm⁻³ can be obtained, which are seven times larger than the largest reported till now. The full cell can keep its capacity without significant loss under different bending states, which shows excellent flexibility. Furthermore, two such flexible cells in series with an operation voltage of 4 V can be compatible with current nonaqueous Li-ion batteries. Therefore, such a flexible cell can potentially be put into practical applications for wearable electronics. In addition, a self-chargeable unit is realized by integrating a single flexible aqueous Li-ion battery with a commercial flexible solar cell, which may facilitate the long-time outdoor operation of flexible and wearable electronic devices.
