Flexible Li-ion batteries (LIBs) have a strong oncoming consumer market demand for use in wearable electronics, flexible electronics, and implantable medical devices This market demand necessitates research on flexible LIBs to fulfill the energy requirements of these devices One of the main areas of research of flexible LIBs is the active and inactive materials used in manufacturing these batteries Active materials are those used in the battery electrodes to store lithium in their structure The remaining materials in flexible LIBs, which do not directly contribute to energy storage, are inactive materials Inactive materials and components—including electrode conductive materials, binders, separator, current collectors, electrolyte, and casing/packaging—make up almost 60% of the total weight of a LIB Thus, they are important in the determination of energy and power density of flexible LIBs This study reviews the inactive materials and components of flexible LIBs from two aspects First, inactive materials and components used in flexible LIBs and their properties are compared Then, the compatibility and stability of inactive materials and components are discussed Overall, this article gives an extensive insight to researchers on inactive materials and components employed so far for flexible LIBs

Excellent visible-light photocatalytic activity towards the degradation of tetracycline antibiotic and electrochemical sensing of hydrazine by SnO2–CdS nanostructures

Intelligent tires can be used in autonomous vehicles to insure the vehicle safety by monitoring the tire and tire-road conditions using sensors embedded on the tire. These sensors and their wireless communication systems need to be powered by energy sources such as batteries or energy harvesters. The deflection of tires during rotation is an available and reliable source of energy for electric power generation using piezoelectric energy harvesters to feed tire self-powered sensors and their wireless communication systems. The aim of this study is to design, analyze, and optimize a rainbow-shaped piezoelectric energy harvester mounted on the inner layer of a pneumatic tire for providing enough power for microelectronics devices required for monitoring intelligent tires. It is shown that the designed piezoelectric energy harvester can generate sufficient voltage, power, and energy required for a tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) with high data transmission speed or three TPMSs with average data transmission speed. The effect of the vehicle speed on the voltage and electric energy generated by the designed piezoelectric is also studied. The geometry and the circuit load resistance of the piezoelectric energy harvester are optimized in order to increase the energy harvesting efficiency. It is shown that the optimized rainbow piezoelectric energy harvester can reach the highest power generation among all the strain-based energy harvesters that partially cover the inner layer of the tire.
