Planar and rigid conventional electronics are intrinsically incompatible with curvilinear and deformable devices. The recent development of organic and inorganic flexible and stretchable electronics enables the production of various applications, such as soft robots, flexible displays, wearable electronics, electronic skins, bendable phones, and implantable medical devices. To power these devices, persistent efforts have thus been expended to develop a flexible energy storage system that can be ideally deformed while maintaining its electrochemical performance. In this review, the enabling technologies of the electrochemical and mechanical performances of flexible devices are summarized. The investigations demonstrate the improvement of electrochemical performance via the adoption of new materials and alternative reactions. Moreover, the strategies used to develop novel materials and distinct design configurations are introduced in the following sections.

Mg batteries are a promising energy storage system because of physicochemical merits of Mg metal as an anode material. However, the lack of electrochemically and chemically stable magnesium electrolytes impedes the development of Mg batteries. In this study, a newly designed chloride-free magnesium fluorinated pinacolatoborate, Mg[B((CF<sub>3</sub>)<sub>4</sub>C<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>]<sub>2</sub>(abbreviated as <b>Mg-FPB</b>), was synthesized by convenient methods from commercially available reagents and fully characterized. The <b>Mg-FPB</b>electrolyte delivered outstanding electrochemical performance, specifically, 95% coulombic efficiency and 197 mV overpotential for reversible Mg deposition, and anodic stability up to 4.0 V vs Mg. The <b>Mg-FPB</b>electrolyte was applied to demonstrate a high voltage rechargeable Mg/MnO<sub>2</sub>battery with a discharge capacity of 150 mAh/g.
