How to realize true fiber-shaped integrated energy system?

To realize true fiber-shaped integrated energy system, all parts of the devices should be fabricated into a fiber structure. In other words, all parts including energy conversion, energy storage and sensors should be achieved on a single fiber.

What are fiber integrated energy systems?

These fiber integrated devices can either achieve self-charging by assembling solar cells with SCs, or realize both energy storage and photodetecting, which contribute greatly to the development of fiber integrated energy systems.

How do integrated energy systems integrate with a fiber structure?

As for integrated energy systems with a fiber structure, the simplest integration may be connecting fiber energy storage devices with other electronics by the wires. For example, fiber SCs can be charged by a conventional silicon solar cell (Fig. 7 a ), and can also be used to power a light-emitting diode (LED) ( Fig. 7 b) .

What are fiber energy storage devices?

To realize fiber energy storage devices with high capacities and high mechanical robustness, flexible binder-free composite fiber electrodes using nanostructured metal oxide as active materials, CNT fibers and GFs as substrates are promising choices.

What are flexible fiber-shaped energy storage devices?

Flexible fiber-shaped energy storage devices have been studied and developed intensively over the past few years to meet the demands of modern electronics in terms of flexibility, weavability and being lightweight.

What are fiber energy storage devices containing solid-state supercapacitors and lithium-ion batteries?

In this review, fiber electrodes and flexible fiber energy storage devices containing solid-state supercapacitors (SCs) and lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are carefully summarized with particular emphasis on their electrode fabrication, structure design and flexibility.
