Many efforts have been made to improve the electrochemical energy performance using various morphologies of nanomaterials as the electrodes. However, a single-component electrode material can hardly obtain the characteristics of high electronic/ionic conductivity, high electrochemical and mechanical stability, simultaneously. Therefore, designing well-arranged hetero-nanostructures that overcome the limitations of different electrochemically active materials and combine the advantages of them is of great significance and still remains a challenge.1 Herein, we extend hetero-nanostructure strategy to the emerging battery technologies for wearables. It contributes to the development and breakthroughs of advanced electrodes, enabling wearable batteries to be high performance as well as multifunctional – transparent1, electrochromic2, integrated3, or self-healing. Firstly, Ag– Ni and Ag– Fe core– shell nanowire networks embedded in an elastomer are suggested as stretchable transparent electrodes for asymmetric supercapacitors1. The unique Ag– bimetallic hetero-structured core-shell nanowires guarantee a high electrochemical stability and stable conductivity up to 100% tensile strain, as well as providing high specific capacitances (~ 3 mF cm− 2) with 50% transparency. Secondly, by inkjet-printing single layer of WO3 nanoparticles on an elastomeric transparent conductor, we demonstrate a stretchable transmissive electrochromic energy storage device2. The devices consisting of WO3-based hybrid electrode and polyaniline/carbon nanotubes composite electrode maintain excellent electrochromic and energy storage performance up to 50% strain.
