ABSTRACT

Wearable power supply devices and systems are important necessities for the emerging textile electronic applications. Current energy supply devices usually need more space than the device they power, and are often based on rigid and bulky materials, making them difficult to wear. Fabric-based batteries without any rigid electrical components are therefore ideal candidates to solve the problem of powering these devices. Printing technologies have greater potential in manufacturing lightweight and low-cost batteries with high areal capacity and generating high voltages which are crucial for electronic textile (e-textile) applications. In this review, we present various printing techniques, and battery chemistries applied for smart fabrics, and give a comparison between them in terms of their potential to power the next generation of electronic textiles. Series combinations of many of these printed and distributed battery cells, using electrically conducting threads, have demonstrated their ability to power different electronic devices with a specific voltage and current requirements. Therefore, the present review summarizes the chemistries and material components of several flexible and textile-based batteries, and provides an outlook for the future development of fabric-based printed batteries for wearable and electronic textile applications with enhanced level of DC voltage and current for long periods of time.

摘要

可穿戴电源设备和系统是新兴纺织电子应用的重要必需品。当前的能源供应设备通常需要比它们供电的设备更多的空间，并且通常基于刚性和笨重的材料，使其难以佩戴。因此，没有任何刚性电子元件的基于织物的电池是解决这些设备供电问题的理想选择。印刷技术在制造具有高面积容量和产生高电压的轻型和低成本电池方面具有更大的潜力，这对于电子纺织品（e-textile）应用至关重要。在这篇评论中，我们介绍了各种印刷技术，以及应用于智能织物的电池化学，并根据它们为下一代电子纺织品提供动力的潜力对它们进行比较。许多这些印刷和分布式电池单元的串联组合，使用导电线，已经证明它们能够为具有特定电压和电流要求的不同电子设备供电。因此，本综述总结了几种柔性和纺织基电池的化学和材料成分，并为可穿戴和电子纺织应用的织物基印刷电池的未来发展提供了展望，该电池可长期提高直流电压和电流水平。一段时间。已经展示了他们为具有特定电压和电流要求的不同电子设备供电的能力。因此，本综述总结了几种柔性和纺织基电池的化学和材料成分，并为可穿戴和电子纺织应用的织物基印刷电池的未来发展提供了展望，该电池可长期提高直流电压和电流水平。一段时间。已经展示了他们为具有特定电压和电流要求的不同电子设备供电的能力。因此，本综述总结了几种柔性和纺织基电池的化学和材料成分，并为可穿戴和电子纺织应用的织物基印刷电池的未来发展提供了展望，该电池可长期提高直流电压和电流水平。一段时间。
