1 Introduction To better exploit renewable energies, the development of efficient energy storage and conversion systems is of utmost importance.[1-4] Among these novel technologies, rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs) have been considered promising candidates for applications in electricity storage systems and next-generation electric devices due to their high energy density, low cost, intrinsic safety, and environmental friendliness.[5-8] The performance of these batteries is highly...

Graphical Abstract Soft Electronics Conventional soft conductors are characterized by a large change in conductance upon mechanical deformation. In article number 2212688, Fabian Schütt, Stefan Schröder, and co-workers, combine thin film deposition technologies in a three-dimensional fashion, resulting in multi-layered and ultra-lightweight foam-like framework structures based on poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate), coated with a polytetrafluoroethylene.

Abstract Soft and flexible conductors are essential for the development of soft robots, wearable electronics, electronic tissue, and implants. However, conventional soft conductors are inherently characterized by a large change in conductance upon mechanical deformation or under alternating environmental conditions, e.g., humidity, drastically limiting their application potential.
