Flexible electronics has gained great interest in emerging wearable or rolling-up gadgets, such as foldable displays, electronic papers, and other personal multimedia devices. Subsequently, there is a need to develop energy storage devices that are pliable, inexpensive, and lightweight. Metal–air batteries have been identified as one of alternative energy storages for cost effective and high energy density applications. They offer cheaper production cost and higher energy density than most of the currently available battery technologies. Thus, they are promising candidates for flexible energy storage devices. Flexible metal–air batteries have to maintain their performances during various mechanical deformations. To date, efforts have been focused on fabricating flexible components for metal–air batteries. This review presents a brief introduction to the field, followed by progress on development of flexible electrolytes, electrodes, and prototype devices. Challenges and outlook towards the practical use of metal–air batteries are given in the last part.

Since the ability of ionic liquid (IL) was demonstrated to act as a solvent or an electrolyte, IL-based electrolytes have been widely used as a potential candidate for renewable energy storage devices, like lithium ion batteries (LIBs) and supercapacitors (SCs). In this review, we aimed to present the state-of-the-art of IL-based electrolytes electrochemical, cycling, and physicochemical properties, which are crucial for LIBs and SCs. ILs can also be regarded as designer solvents to replace the more flammable organic carbonates and improve the green credentials and performance of energy storage devices, especially LIBs and SCs. This review affords an outline of the progress of ILs in energy-related applications and provides essential ideas on the emerging challenges and openings that may motivate the scientific communities to move towards IL-based energy devices. Finally, the challenges in design of the new type of ILs structures for energy and environmental applications are also highlighted.

Hybrid fibers based on MnO2/reduced graphene oxide have been fabricated for flexible energy storage devices. Graphene oxide nanoflakes were reduced in a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) pipeline under the appropriate condition to develop a fiber current collector, which also provides the possibility of weaving. The RGO fiber with the radius of about 35 μm has a resistance of 150 Ω · cm. MnO2 nanoflakes directly grow on the RGO fiber surface acting as the electrode material of the device. The MnO2/RGO hybrid fibers provide excellent energy storage performances. The as-fabricated SC exhibits a high areal capacitance of 1.37 F·cm−2 at the scan rate of 1 mV·s−1, and outstanding long-term cycling stability of 93.75% retention after 5000 cycles. This work demonstrates a cost-effective and versatile strategy for wearable energy storage devices.
