Abstract

With the continuous progress of flexible functional materials, the intelligent development of portable devices, and the gradual popularization of the Internet of Things, society urgently need a new type of battery that is light, thin, environmentally friendly, and has high power and high energy density. The printed battery is prepared by printing technology, which has the characteristics of lightness, flexibility, environmental protection and low cost., which are in line with the development trend and have shown great application potential in flexible wearable devices, flexible displays, flexible RFID, sensors and other fields. This paper reviews the latest progress of printed batteries based on screen printing, inkjet printing and 3D printing technologies, and introduces the latest technologies of printed zinc-manganese batteries, printed lithium batteries and other types of printed batteries. Then, the opportunities and challenges faced by printed batteries are put forward, and the development prospects of the printed battery industry are prospected.
