Further studies in the electrochemical/mechanical strength of printed microbatteries

Abstract

Flexible electronics require flexible energy storage, and electrochemical batteries are currently the strongest option for such devices. We further our previous investigation, beginning to add quantitative analysis to the composite mechanical/electrochemical performance of printed electrodes. The presented work will explain the principles of microfluidic stress analysis and how it provides insight into the operating conditions of real microbatteries. Introduction:
