This electrode material allows 33x more energy storage in wearables | Modified carbon nanotube fiber excels with 33x energy storage, 3.3x strength, and 1.3x conductivity over regular fibers.


Fiber-like electrodes with exceptional strength, lightness, and flexibility, promises improved energy storage in wearable devices.

Advancements in wearable devices have necessitated the development of lightweight and robust energy storage systems. These requirements mainly demand technology that enables power retention and energy density under various mechanical deformation conditions. In a step in the right direction, researchers at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have now developed a fiber-like electrode material that can store energy.
