Abstract

A novel cable-type water-survivable flexible Li-O2 battery is developed with a hydrophobic and free standing gel polymer electrolyte. Superior battery performances are successfully achieved under mechanical twisting, bending, and even immersed in water conditions, showing the high promise to power next-generation versatile flexible electronics.

Keywords: Li-O2 batteries; cable-type; flexible; gel polymer electrolytes; water survivable.
