Abstract The high failure strain of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) is a very desirable feature for rechargeable Li-ion batteries by improving the lifetime specific capacity anode materials that undergo mechanical fractures induced large volume variations. In this work, poly(styrene- b -2-hydroxyethyl acrylate) called PS- -PHEA was synthesized nitroxide meditated polymerization method. Owing to use polystyrene macroinitiator (SG1), suitable TPE copolymer with long hydroxyethyl acrylate...
The recent advances in wearable technologies had caused a surge the demand for stretchable Li-ion microbatteries. Herein, special design based on micropillar electrodes supported metallic serpentines has been investigated to achieve fabrication of functionning device. Besides achieving high areal capacity values like 2.5 mA h cm−2 at C/10 (i.e. 0.07 cm−2), micropillars make system reversibly stretchable. Electrochemical tests revealed excellent performance when micropower source was...
