An intrinsically stretchable and compressible Zn–air battery

Abstract

An intrinsically highly stretchable and compressible Zn–air rechargeable battery with good electrochemical performance was fabricated for the first time. It exhibits the merits of 300% intrinsic stretchability and 85% intrinsic compressibility with excellently retained electrochemical performance, a decrease in catalyst cost of 40 times, the fewest number of components and facile fabrication.
