Flexible Two-dimensional Nanomaterials for Lithium-ion Batteries Applications

The unprecedented demand for portable, flexible and even wearable electronic devices have stimulated the development of green and powerful energy sources with excellent electrochemical performance. Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) have attractive attention due to their high-energy density, high-rate capacity and relatively low self-discharge. The integration of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials and their composites into LIBs offers opportunities to timely tackle the challenges of the ever-growing clean and sustainable energy demands. Therefore, it is crucial to design 2D nanomaterial electrodes for high performance flexible LIBs. This chapter covers the recent literature on flexible LIBs with 2D nanomaterials as the electrodes. The research demonstrates advancements in flexible electronics by incorporating various 2D nanomaterials into bendable batteries to achieve high electrochemical performance, excellent mechanical flexibility as well as electrical stability under stretching/bending conditions.
