Flexible Battery- Their Characteristic Shape Even Against Continual Bending or Twisting

 

Flexible battery 

A flexible battery is a type of battery designed to be flexible and conformal, unlike traditional rigid ones. Flexible batteries can be folded and twisted at will, including primary and secondary batteries. They can maintain their characteristic shape even when continuously bent or twisted. Flexible batteries are key power source to enable vast electronic devices, leading to additional requirements, including stretchable, twistable, and bendable, to adapt mechanical deformation under the working conditions.

The increasing interest in portable or flexible electronics has led to the development of flexible battery, which can be implemented in various electronic products such as wearable electronics, smart cards, flexible displays, novelty packaging, & drug delivery patches. Moreover, flexible batteries can be easily used in various small sized devices such as smartphones, watch, health monitoring device, and others. Thus, demand is expected to increase especially in the consumer electronics, healthcare, and other industries.

According to Coherent Market Insights, The global Flexible Battery Market was valued at US$ 102.3 Mn in 2020 and is expected to reach US$ 574.0 Mn by 2028 at a CAGR of 24.0% between 2021 and 2028.

Flexible battery offers the potential to produce battery products that bend and stretch, providing a wider range of battery designs and applications for energy storage devices. Furthermore, the eco-friendly nature and ease of applications are major advantages of flexible battery. Flexible batteries have been the research of interest due to their potential to enable electronic products bendable, adaptable, and comfortable. This in turn stimulates the development of wearable electronics, roll-up displays, implantable medical robots, and Internet of things (IoT).

Thus, with the increasing demand for thin & flexible batteries in electronic devices and growing miniaturization of electronic products, the demand for flexible batteries is also increasing with a rapid pace. For example, in December 2021, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), US developed world's longest flexible battery. It's a rechargeable lithium-ion device/battery, which can be woven and washed, and could provide power for fiber-based electronic devices and sensors, according to the researchers.
