Problems solved by technology

However, after the battery is made thinner, the loading capacity of the active material will be relatively reduced, which will cause a decrease in electrochemical performance such as energy density.
Moreover, the existing battery design idea involves using aluminum foil and copper foil as current collectors for the positive and negative materials respectively, and packaging with aluminum-plastic film; but in this design, the functions of the material components are relatively single, namely: aluminum foil, copper foil It is only used for the electrical conductivity of the current collector, and the aluminum-plastic film is only used for the packaging of the battery; since they are all inactive materials, they face the problem that the inactive materials occupy a certain mass and volume, which means that the quality and volume of the final device will be reduced Energy density, and this problem will become more serious in thinner flexible batteries
[0005]Although the existing flexible batteries can achieve flexibility, considering the dual functions of integrating flexible electronic devices and energy storage devices, it will be faced with how to balance the mechanical properties and electrochemical Performance issues, which also put forward higher requirements for the design of flexible batteries
