To date, numerous flexible energy storage devices have rapidly emerged, including flexible lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), lithium-O 2 batteries. In Figure 7E,F, a Fe 1−x S@PCNWs/rGO hybrid paper was also fabricated by vacuum filtration, which displays superior flexibility and mechanical properties.
Fibre-like energy-storage devices can be achieved using coaxial or twisted fibres to enable flexibility and stretchability. An intrinsically stretchable device differs from the other types by using individual stretchable components, which offers the greatest manufacturing compatibility.

Two-dimensional materials such as layered transition-metal dichalcogenides, carbides, nitrides, oxides and graphene-based materials have enabled very thin active electrodes with high energy density and excellent cyclability for flexible energy-storage devices.
As usual, the mechanical reliability of flexible energy storage devices includes electrical performance retention and deformation endurance. As a flexible electrode, it should possess favorable mechanical strength and large specific capacity. And the electrodes need to preserve efficient ionic and electronic conductivity during cycling.
Considering these factors, a flexible self-charging system that can harvest energy from the ambient environment and simultaneously charge energy-storage devices without needing an external electrical power source would be a promising solution.
Although LMs have demonstrated unique advantages in the field of stretchable soft batteries, such as high conductivity, excellent flexibility, and self-healing properties, their practical deployment still faces several challenges. Firstly, the temperature range of LMs limits their widespread application in low-temperature environments.
