However, batteries will need this shape-shifting quality to be incorporated into flexible electronics, which are gaining traction for wearable health monitors. Now, researchers in ACS Energy Letters report a lithium-ion battery with entirely stretchable components, including an electrolyte layer that can expand by 5000%, and it retains its charge storage capacity after nearly 70 charge\/discharge cycles.<\/p>\n<p>Advancements in Flexible Electronics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A newly developed stretchable lithium-ion battery retains efficient charge storage after 70 cycles and expands up to 5000%.
