Wearable and Washable MnO₂-Zn Battery Packaged by Vacuum Sealing.

ABSTRACT: Batteries are used in all types of electronic devices from conventional to advanced devices. Currently, batteries are evolving in the direction of extremely personalized yarn- or textile-structured textronic systems. However, the absence of a protective layer on such batteries is a critical limitation to their practical use. In this study, we developed a wearable and washable MnO₂-Zn textile battery that maintains its electrochemical capacity under various external environmental conditions through a vacuum-sealed packaging. The packaged textile battery was fabricated by vacuuming a polymer envelope containing the battery, followed by heat sealing with a vacuum packaging machine. The interior and exterior regions of the textile battery are completely separated by the packaging sh
