The advent of the smart electronics era necessitates the development of environmentally friendly, electrochemically superior, and lightweight flexible energy storage devices. However, the current performance of the developed flexible energy storage devices still falls short in meeting practical application demands.
The development of flexible electronics critically demands highly flexible energy storage devices, which not only have high energy/power density and rate performance similar to conventional power sources but also possess robust mechanical properties. 15 These devices can further improve the integration degree of the entire electronic systems.
Flexible energy storage devices with excellent mechanical deformation performance are highly required to improve the integration degree of flexible electronics.
Consequently, there is an urgent demand for flexible energy storage devices (FESDs) to cater to the energy storage needs of various forms of flexible products. FESDs can be classified into three categories based on spatial dimension, all of which share the features of excellent electrochemical performance, reliable safety, and superb flexibility.
Then the design requirements and specific applications of polymer materials as electrodes, electrolytes, separators, and packaging layers of flexible energy storage devices are systematically discussed with an emphasis on the material design and device performance.
In the integrated flexible electronic system, energy storage devices 14, 16 - 20 play important roles in connecting the preceding energy harvesting devices and the following energy utilization devices (Figure 1).
