Abstract
Abstract Designing textile‐based energy storage with both high electrochemical performance and available textile performance is crucial for developing smart textile. In this perspective, the concept of textile‐based energy storage and the viewpoint of balancing electrochemical performance and textile performance is proposed, which is paramount to establish high‐energy‐power density textile‐based energy storage devices; some key challenges are discussed in order to provide a framework on how textile materials and structures are employed in textile energy storage research; it further compiles and generalizes current findings in the fiber, yarn, and fabric‐type components/devices area and preliminary work in the manufactured and programmed textile‐based energy storage. The objective here is to establish a set of practical principles for commercial textile energy storage from textile perspective and describe in detail the scientific and technological breakthroughs that are shaping in energy storage area.
