Textile-based lithium-ion battery investigation

The development of smart textile, flexible electronic devices and sensors that can be integrated into clothes, glasses, watches, and even skin requires a flexible source of energy. Textile-based lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are the most important candidate to secure this energy. In this thesis, a series of inks and structures for lithium batteries were examined. Where special emphasis was placed on the selectivity of electrode materials and their preparation methods. The electrochemical properties of the electrodes were also examined using the Gamry device. A textile-based LIB was also manufactured and the electrochemical characterization has been tested by using the coin cell battery test system OPT-BST8-WA. The charge and discharge capacities of manufactured coin cells have been investigated. The capacitance of the produced battery was 268.43 mAh g^(-1).
