APPLICATIONS OF BATTERIES USED IN THE TEXTILE FIELD

Abstract

Batteries are important in our daily lives and are used in various devices, from mobile phones and laptops to electric cars and solar energy storage systems. However, there are other areas where batteries can be used to improve the functionality and performance of products, such as the textile industry. Batteries are critical components in power systems for electronic devices. An emerging application of batteries is in the textile field, where they are used to power electronic devices integrated into fabrics. Smart textile technology has become an important research area, with applications in health, sports and fashion. This technology can be used to monitor the vital parameters of the body, to help improve sports performance and to create clothes with special features, such as heating or cooling. However, for these fabrics to work, a the energy source to power the incorporated electronic devices. This is a critical problem because conventional batteries are bulky and rigid, making integrating them into fabrics challenging. Flexible batteries are a potential solution to this problem. They are made using flexible materials such as polymers or metals. Flexible batteries can be integrated directly into fabrics, making using them in smart textile applications possible.
