Flexible aqueous zinc-ion batteries can store energy safely and at a low cost, which benefits wearable electronic gadgets; however, currently used cathodes restrict these devices with a low specific capacity and energy density. Herein, we developed a flexible zinc-sulfur (Zn–S) battery constructed by Ti₃C₂T_x decorated with sulfur (S@Ti₃C₂T_x) as a cathode and Zn metal anode with iodine-added amphiphilic gel electrolyte (AGE). Benefiting from the confinement synergy of S@Ti₃C₂T_x cathode, the Zn-S battery exhibited a high storage capacity of 772.7 mAh g⁻¹ at 300 mA g⁻¹, which is higher than a conventional S-decorated carbon cathode (491.7 mAh g⁻¹). More specially, the flexible device offers good cycling stability (82.7%) and excellent mechanical stability with 91% capacity retention after 90° bending (500 cycles). To demonstrate real applications, the flexible Zn–S batteries were integrated in series to power electrical gadgets (e.g., digital clock, light-emitting diode, and robot). It exhibits exceptional flexibility to sustain different deformations and maintains a steady supply of power to run the wearable electronic gadget. These findings offer a fresh starting point for flexible energy storage technologies and show the promising potential of the Zn–S battery in real-world applications.

柔性水性锌离子电池可以安全、低成本地储存能量，这有利于可穿戴电子产品；然而，目前使用的阴极限制了这些装置的比容量和能量密度较低。在此，我们开发了一种柔性锌硫（Zn-S）电池，由硫装饰的Ti ₃ C ₂ T _{x （S@Ti 3} C ₂ T _x）作为阴极和锌金属阳极以及添加碘的两亲性凝胶电解质构成（年龄）。得益于S@Ti ₃ C ₂ T _x正极的限域协同作用，Zn-S电池在300 mA g ^{−1时表现出772.7 mAh g −1的高存储容量}，高于传统的S装饰碳阴极（491.7 mAh g ^-1）。更特别的是，该柔性器件具有良好的循环稳定性（82.7%）和出色的机械稳定性，90°弯曲（500次循环）后容量保持率为91%。为了演示实际应用，柔性锌硫电池被串联集成，为电子设备（例如数字时钟、发光二极管和机器人）供电。它表现出卓越的灵活性，可以承受不同的变形，并保持稳定的电力供应来运行可穿戴电子设备。这些发现为灵活的储能技术提供了一个新的起点，并展示了锌硫电池在实际应用中的巨大潜力。
