Supercapacitors for conformable electronics

Abstract The fast evolution of conformable electronics has demanded the development of energy storage technologies that are both flexible and efficient. Supercapacitors (SCs) offer an excellent option for powering these cutting-edge gadgets because of their high-power density, quick charge–discharge times, and extended cycle life. In this research, the materials, design, and performance features of SCs are highlighted as they are integrated into conformable electronic systems. We study the effects of several flexible electrode materials on the electrochemical performance of SCs, including conducting polymers and carbon-based nanomaterials. Along with current developments in conformable electronics, which combine SC power density, the issues of scalability, stability, and environmental effects are discussed. The advancements of SCs-based conformable electronics in India and a global perspective are analysed in detail. Our analysis shows how SCs can open the door for more adaptable and sustainable power solutions by enabling the next wave of wearable technology, soft robotics, and other conformable applications.
