Method for providing a stretchable power source and device

摘要

Disclosed in this specification is a method for providing a stretchable power source and corresponding device. The device has at least two stretchable fabrics with silver-coated fibers. Each fabric has cathodic and anodic materials, respectively, deposited between the fibers. The fibers are sealed with an elastomeric pouch having an electrolyte. The stretchable power source has substantially no change in discharge capacity when stretched from 0% strain to 100% strain.

主权项

1. A stretchable power source comprising:
a first stretchable fabric comprising silver-coated first polymeric fibers and Zn deposited between the first polymeric fibers; a second stretchable fabric comprising silver-coated second polymeric fibers and MnO2 deposited between the second polymeric fibers; an electrolyte; an elastomeric pouch containing the electrolyte, the first stretchable fabric and the second stretchable fabric; wherein the first stretchable fabric further comprises a first rubber matrix, the first rubber matrix and the first polymeric fibers being perpendicular to one another.
