Abstract

Highly stretchable, integrated, single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) film supercapacitors are prepared by combining directly grown SWCNT films with continuous reticulate architecture with polydimethylsiloxane with enhanced prestrain. The performance of the prepared stretchable supercapacitors remains nearly unchanged even during the stretching process under 120% strain.
