The rapid development of flexible/wearable electronics requires novel fabricating strategies. Among the state-of-the-art techniques, inkjet printing has aroused considerable interest due to the possibility of large-scale fabricating flexible electronic devices with good reliability, high time efficiency, a low manufacturing cost, and so on. In this review, based on the working principle, recent advances in the inkjet printing technology in the field of flexible/wearable electronics are summarized, including flexible supercapacitors, transistors, sensors, thermoelectric generators, wearable fabric, and for radio frequency identification. In addition, some current challenges and future opportunities in this area are also addressed. We hope this review article can give positive suggestions to the researchers in the area of flexible electronics.
