TL;DR: In this article, a novel porous-structured polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based nanocomposite gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) with the optimum addition of silica (SiO2) was synthesized and utilized in a bendable sandwich-type ZAB.

TL;DR: The optimized GPE enables flexible ZABs exhibiting an exceptionally low charge potential, a long cycling time of 200 h, a high energy efficiency, and rugged reliability under different extreme working conditions, and demonstrates their excellent practicability as flexible power sources.

TL;DR: A facile electrochemical deposition method to grow Co(OH)2 directly on the skeleton of carbon cloth is developed, eliminating uncertainties arising from the electrode preparation procedures, and the Co3O4 catalyst has been further evaluated by integrating it into a Zn-air battery prototype.

TL;DR: In this paper, a planar rechargeable stretchable and flexible Zn-air battery array fabricated by layer-by-layer assembly of 2 × 2 electrode arrays, a polymer gel electrolyte, serpentine-shaped copper circuits, and a rubber substrate.

TL;DR: This approach provides a new idea for introducing defects and developing active electrocatalyst by synthesizing chlorine-doped Co(OH)2 in situ grown on carbon cloth as an integrated electrode by a facial electrodeposition method.
