Cotton-textile-enabled flexible self-sustaining power packs via roll-to-roll fabrication

Activated cotton textiles are promising for wearable energy storage due to their flexibility and high conductivity, but scalability is an issue. Here, the authors combine supercapacitors and solar cells on activated cotton textiles via scalable roll-to-roll assembly to make self-sustaining power pac...
