LR1130 battery

　　Research on application technology of 3D printing technology to manufacture flexible all-fiber LR1130 battery

　　Traditional bulky and rigid power systems cannot meet the flexibility and breathability requirements of wearable devices. Despite significant efforts in developing various 1D energy storage devices that are sufficiently flexible, challenges remain in terms of scalability, cost, and efficiency of manufacturing.

　　【Achievements Introduction】

　　Recently, Professor Zhao Jiupeng of Harbin Institute of Technology, Associate Professor Hu Liangbing of the University of Maryland, Kun (Kelvin) Fu (joint correspondence) and others reported the application of scalable, low-cost, and high-efficiency 3D printing technology to manufacture flexible all-fiber LR1130 battery (LIB). . High-viscosity polymer inks containing carbon nanotubes and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) or lithium titanium oxide (LTO) are used to print LFP fiber cathodes and LTO fiber anodes, respectively. The two fiber electrodes exhibit good flexibility and high electrochemical performance in the half-cell. Full-fiber LIBs can be assembled by combining printed LFP and LTO fibers with gel polymers as quasi-solid electrolytes. The all-fiber device exhibits a high specific capacity of ≈110 mAhg-1 at a current density of 50 mAg-1 and maintains good flexibility of the fiber electrode, which can be used in future wearable electronic devices. The relevant results were published on Advanced Functional Materials under the title "3D-PrintedAll-FiberLi-IonBatterytowardWearableEnergyStorage".
