Wearable energy systems: what are the limits and limitations?
Lu Yin, Joseph Wang
Abstract
With over a decade of tremendous effort and exciting developments, we have yet to see the successful commercialization of wearable soft electronics due to the lack of reliable energy solutions. This perspective summarizes the theoretical limits and the practical limitations for wearable energy devices and proposes strategies to address such limitations.
