Abstract
In recent years, electronic products are becoming lighter, thinner, more flexible and even wearable. Flexible and wearable electronics (FWEs) are very promising in the fields of professional activities, sports/health monitoring, as well as personal fashion and entertainments. However, the traditional energy storage devices are bulky and heavy, and could not meet the demands of FWEs. Fiber-shaped SCs (FSCs) with superior features such as lightweight, tiny volume, flexibility, and knittabilityare highly desirable as one of the most promising energy storage systems. Among different FSCs, graphene fiber are broadly regarded to be promising electrode due to its high strength, good conductivity, remarkable flexibility and low cost.However, due to the aggregating nature of graphene caused by strong π-π interactions, the graphene nanosheets tend to restack into graphite-like structure during the fabrication process, in which the excellent characteristics of the individual graphene sheet, such as flexibility and high surface area, will be lost. To overcome these limitations,we developed a variety of continuous graphene hybrid fibers by scalable wet-spinning, and assembled them into flexible solid-state fiber-based supercapacitors (FSCs) [1-5]. These FSCs are slim, flexible and weavable, and could potentially act as green, safe and fast power sources for FWEs.
