Abstract
and retains 70.7% of its initial capacity after 150 cycles. The pouch cell performs well at different bending angles and exhibits a capacity retention rate of 98% after returning to its initial state from 180° folding. This work aims to construct high-performance hydrogel electrolytes using low-cost natural materials, which may provide a solution for the application of ZIBs in flexible biocompatible devices.
