Zinc-Ion Battery on a Polyester-Cotton Textile

Abstract

This work presents a simple, scalable and flexible zinc-ion secondary battery, fabricated on top of a textile substrate via standard fabrication processes. The proposed zinc-ion battery was fabricated on top of a polyester-cotton textile using solution-based processes and inexpensive cathode, anode and electrolyte materials. This battery achieved an area capacity of 19.1 µAh·cm−2 between 1.9 and 0.9 V.
