The upcoming wearable/flexible electronics have garnered significant attention as a kind of disruptive technology, which inspires the relentless pursuit of advanced power sources with high energy density and shape diversity. Here, my talk describes a new class of form factor-free, printed power sources with aesthetic versatility that lie far beyond those achievable with conventional technologies. The printed power sources are fabricated directly on arbitrary objects of complex geometries through a variety of simple, low-cost and scalable printing processes. Their salient features include various form factors, shape conformability and monolithic integration with devices of interest. Our particular attention is devoted to discussing effects of the battery inks on printing processability, microstructure (focusing on bicontinuous ion/electron transport channels) and electrochemical performance of the resultant printed power sources. |
