Wearable energy-smart ribbons for synchronous energy harvest and storage

Flexible materials for harvesting and storing energy are desirable for wearable electronics, but efficiency is still an issue. Here, the authors demonstrate a flexible and weavable ribbon which integrates a solar cell and supercapacitor via a shared electrode for efficient energy harvesting and stor...
