Part of the book series: Nanostructure Science and Technology ((NST))

Abstract

In this chapter, the necessity for the fiber-shaped device is discussed in modern electronics. The main efforts are first paid to describe the difficulty in the development of conventional planar energy harvesting and storage devices including solar cells, electrochemical capacitors, and lithium ion batteries. The history and recent advancement in the fiber-shaped device are then summarized along three directions in energy conversion, energy storage, and device integration.
