U.S. develops flexible textile batteries that can be incorporated into clothes and washable

According to foreign media reports, U.S. researchers have developed a flexible, flexible textile battery that can not only supply power but also be as flexible as ordinary cotton cloth.

As one of the researchers of this invention project, Nazmul Karim, a researcher at the University of Manchester, said: “Flexible textile batteries have created smart fabrics and made wearable computers a reality.” Such a flexible battery device can power the wearable device, which will enable the screen to be directly used in the clothing fabric, achieving better health monitoring functions and wearability of the display device.

According to reports, flexible textile batteries are based on low-cost graphene materials, and simple screen printing technology is used on the outside. The electrodes are very stable due to the strong interaction between ink and textiles, and they have good operational safety. And long cycle life, the battery itself also supports fast charging, flexible materials allow water washing.
