- Energy autonomy is critical for wearable and portable systems and to this end storage devices with high‐energy density are needed. This work is significant, because it presents high‐energy density flexible supercapacitors (SCs), exhibiting three times the energy density than similar type of SCs reported in the literature. The developed SCs were successfully tested as energy storage devices for wide applications, including: a) solar‐powered energy‐packs to operate 84 light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) for more than a minute and to drive the actuators of a prosthetic limb; b) powering high‐torque motors; and c) wristband for wearable sensors.
