Research progress in flexible zinc-air battery cathode based on carbon nanotube materials
As a promising technology for portable electronics,secondary flexible zinc-air batteries have received immense attention in the past decade,particularly for the design and research of the air electrode.Herein,we focused on the most recent developments of the self-supporting air electrode based on carbon nanotube(CNT)materials.We first summarized the synthetic and fabrication methods of CNT and its structure-activity relationship.Section 2 describes the working mechanism and flexible design of the battery.Further,a detailed discussion of the recent advancements in flexible self-supporting air-positive electrodes based on CNTs is provided.As a new development,flexible zinc-air batteries are also discussed separately.Finally,conclusions are presented,followed by a future perspective on fiber-shaped CNT self-supporting air cathode.
