Abstract
Wireless charging energy storage devices eliminate bulky wires of wearable electronics. However, rigid shape and specific charging energy restrict their applications in space-limited portable electronics. Herein, an all-carbon fiber supercapacitor is presented that features shape-adjustable, packable, and energy-controllable wireless charging functions. With the unique on-dimensional circuit structure, the maximum energy transfer efficiency from the electrical energy received by the wireless charging unit to the output energy of the fiber supercapacitor can reach up to ≈60.8%, and meanwhile this integrated fiber device exhibits an outstanding area capacity of 803 mF cm<sup>-2</sup> and energy density of 1004 µWh cm<sup>-2</sup>, superior to most of the fiber supercapacitors. Moreover, this unique device can endure significant deformation in shape of circles ranging from 2 to 20 cm diameter, and can be packed into narrow spaces, such as smart bracelet and disk-shaped pet global positioning system (GPS). By altering the device shape, the wireless charging current, voltage, and power can be adjusted in the range of 0.5-20 mA, 1.4-15.5 V, and 0.003-313 mW, accommodating the energy requirements for nearly all existing micro-electronics. This work offers unprecedented opportunities for packable, space-confined and energy harvesting controllable wearable electronics.
