Fiber batteries have garnered significant attention due to their advantages, such as miniaturization, weavability, permeability, and integrability, making them ideal for wearable electronics. Polymer materials, by virtue of their high designability, light weight, low cost, high stability, and mechanical flexibility, have been widely introduced to achieve not only high flexibility and wearable compatibility, but also superior electrochemical performance and safety of fiber batteries. In this Perspective, we systematically discuss the applications of polymer materials in electrodes, electrolytes, separators, and packaging tubes for fiber batteries with an emphasis on material design and device performance. Finally, we summarize the remaining challenges and future directions for polymer-based fiber batteries.
期刊介绍:
Macromolecules publishes original, fundamental, and impactful research on all aspects of polymer science. Topics of interest include synthesis (e.g., controlled polymerizations, polymerization catalysis, post polymerization modification, new monomer structures and polymer architectures, and polymerization mechanisms/kinetics analysis); phase behavior, thermodynamics, dynamic, and ordering/disordering phenomena (e.g., self-assembly, gelation, crystallization, solution/melt/solid-state characteristics); structure and properties (e.g., mechanical and rheological properties, surface/interfacial characteristics, electronic and transport properties); new state of the art characterization (e.g., spectroscopy, scattering, microscopy, rheology), simulation (e.g., Monte Carlo, molecular dynamics, multi-scale/coarse-grained modeling), and theoretical methods. Renewable/sustainable polymers, polymer networks, responsive polymers, electro-, magneto- and opto-active macromolecules, inorganic polymers, charge-transporting polymers (ion-containing, semiconducting, and conducting), nanostructured polymers, and polymer composites are also of interest. Typical papers published in Macromolecules showcase important and innovative concepts, experimental methods/observations, and theoretical/computational approaches that demonstrate a fundamental advance in the understanding of polymers.
