A highly sensitive pressure-sensitive sensor based on MXene was developed using the electrostatic self-assembly method, with carbide sponges as the elastic substrate and a rational design. Specifically, CTAB was used to treat the carbide triamine sponge and conduct the electrostatic self-assembly with MXene to achieve a tightly combined conductive filler and substrate. The resulting pressure sensor showed excellent performance, with a high sensitivity of 15.05 kPa −1 under a range of 0–20 kPa, a response time of 0.1 s, and high durability under 2000 loading–unloading cycles. The minimum detection limit of the sensor was as low as 0.3 Pa, demonstrating excellent monitoring performance. Additionally, finite-element simulation analysis showed that MXene@CTAB@CMF had even better sensing performance at the same stress level. Moreover, the pressure sensor exhibited good sensing performance for various physiological signals and daily work monitoring of the human body, indicating its potential application value.

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) on flexible plastic substrates usually suffer from a slower electron diffusion rate and insufficient surface area due to no sintering process . Therefore, the conversion efficiency (ƞ) of such flexible DSSCs is normally below 6%. Here, the highly flexible DSSCs with enhanced performance are fabricated at room temperature, employing 3D graphene decorated nanocrystalline TiO 2 films (3DGT) as anode on plastic substrates. Owing to the enhanced charge transportation and increased surface area from 3D conductive graphene skeleton, the 13 μm-thick 3DGT-0.85 (0.85 wt% 3D graphene plus TiO 2 nanoparticles) anode achieves a power conversion efficiency of 6.41%, which is 56% higher than pristine TiO 2 based anode. This efficiency is among the highest values for the previously reported TiO 2 photoanodes on plastic substrates.

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), among the most simple and efficient means to harvest mechanical energy, have great potential in renewable energy utilization. While the output performance of TENGs is still not high enough, which limits its practical application. Here, a poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/fluorinated ethylene propylene nanoparticles (FEP NPs) porous nanofiber (PFPN) membrane with waterproof, breathable, surface superhydrophobic and high tribo-negative properties is proposed for achieving high-performance of TENGs. The PFPN-based solid–solid contact PFPN-TENG achieved an optimal electric output with a net tribo-charge density of 294 µC m −2 , which is 42.2% more than that of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) film. The PFNP membrane can maintain the best performance with almost no attenuation after 142680 working cycles. Based on its excellent triboelectric characteristics, the PFPN membrane shows its excellent performance for self-powered body motion sensing and mechanical energy harvesting. A flexible solid–liquid contact PFPN-TENG can achieve high electrical output with an average volume power density of ≈544.1 W m −3 by harvesting water wave energy. Such excellent performance of the PFPN membrane makes it a potential candidate to promote the power density of TENGs in harvesting blue water wave energy.

At present, the topic of building high-performance, miniaturized and mechanically flexible energy storage modules which can be directly integrated into textile based wearable electronics is a hotspot in the wearable technology field. In this paper, we reported a highly flexible fiber-shaped electrode fabricated through a one-step convenient hydrothermal process. The prepared graphene hydrogels/multi-walled carbon nanotubes-cotton thread derived from natural cotton thread is electrochemically active and mechanically strong. Fiber-shaped supercapacitor based on the prepared fiber electrodes and polyvinyl alcohol-H 3 PO 4 gel electrolyte exhibits good capacitive performance (97.73 μF cm −1 at scan rate of 2 mV s −1 ), long cycle life (95.51% capacitance retention after 8000 charge-discharge cycles) and considerable stability (90.75% capacitance retention after 500 continuous bending cycles). Due to its good mechanical and electrochemical properties , the graphene hydrogels/multi-walled carbon nanotubes-cotton thread based all-solid fiber-shaped supercapacitor can be directly knitted into fabrics and maintain its original capacitive performance. Such a low-cost textile thread based versatile energy storage device may hold great potential for future wearable electronics applications.

Flexible pressure sensors play an indispensable role in flexible electronics. Microstructures on flexible electrodes have been proven to be effective in improving the sensitivity of pressure sensors. However, it remains a challenge to develop such microstructured flexible electrodes in a convenient way. Inspired by splashed particles from laser processing, herein, a method for customizing microstructured flexible electrodes by femtosecond laser-activated metal deposition is proposed. It takes advantage of the catalyzing particles scattered during femtosecond laser ablation and is particularly suitable for moldless, maskless, and low-cost fabrication of microstructured metal layers on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Robust bonding at the PDMS/Cu interface is evidenced by the scotch tape test and the duration test over 10 000 bending cycles. Benefiting from the firm interface, the developed flexible capacitive pressure sensor with microstructured electrodes presents several conspicuous features, including a sensitivity (0.22 kPa −1 ) 73 times higher than the one using flat Cu electrodes, ultralow detection limit (<1 Pa), rapid response/recovery time (4.2/5.3 ms), and excellent stability. Moreover, the proposed method, inheriting the merits of laser direct writing, is capable of fabricating a pressure sensor array in a maskless manner for spatial pressure mapping.

Flexible triboelectric generators present a wide range of prospective applications owing to their small size, light weight, and wearability; in addition, they can convert external mechanical energy into electrical energy to provide an energy supply for wearable electronic products. In this study, a wearable textile triboelectric generator was developed by weaving polyurethane (PU) nanofiber core-spun yarn and Si 3 N 4 -electret-doped polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofiber core-spun yarn into a double-layer fabric. Within the double-layer fabric, one layer was Si 3 N 4 -doped PVDF (denoted as Si 3 N 4 @PVDF) nanofiber fabric, and the other was PU nanofiber fabric. When subjected to an external mechanical force, PU nanofiber fabric and Si 3 N 4 @PVDF nanofiber fabric came into contact and were able to convert external mechanical energy into electrical energy. The most notable instantaneous electrical performance of this triboelectric nanogenerator was open circuit voltage of 71 V, short-circuit current of 0.7 μA, and output power of 56 μW. Additionally, the wearable textile triboelectric generator exhibited superior washability, stability, and cycle durability. More significantly, it was capable of driving some low-consumption electronic products, including capacitors, LED bulbs, and digital meters, thereby exhibiting a strong potential for flexible self-powered electronic devices and intelligent textiles .

Laser-induced graphene (LIG) is a highly promising technology for assembling thin-film electronics with miniaturized surficial patterns, although hard to guarantee both high-quality formation of raw materials and high resolution of feature size. In this study, a combined microcontact printing (μCP) and LIG protocol is creatively utilized to fabricate ultra-thin graphene films with highly ordered micro-stripe arrays. In addition to realize various patterned structures with unique scalable and stackable characteristics, PAA concentration (4–8 wt%) is systematically investigated as a critical parameter to precisely control the feature size of micro-patterns before and after the irradiation process, including line width (before: 5.37–22.44 μm, after: 4.83–22.32 μm) and average height (before: 69.81–187.39 nm, after: 5.72–48.61 nm). By further exploring a defocused multi-lasing strategy, sheet resistance of the graphene array could be optimized dramatically from 634.1 kΩ/sq to 1.9 kΩ/sq, while maintaining low ablation (45.38 % porosity) and high carbon content (84.2 wt%). Lastly, the process is demonstrated to assemble different graphene based electronic devices with miniaturized sizes, including liquid sensors with sensitivity of 2.7 % μL −1 and electrothermal heaters with temperature-ramping rate as high as 24.7 °C/s and working temperature as high as 248 °C.

Flexible organic/inorganic piezoelectric nanocomposites are highly demanded for flexible wearable electronic devices due to their excellent mechanical flexibility and high piezoelectric performance. However, the output performance of ceramic-polymer-based piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) is restricted by the poor electrical conductivity of the organic matrix and the distinct discrepancy in mechanical strength between inorganic filler and organic matrix. Herein, we propose a flexible piezoelectric polymer nanocomposite based on CNTs@PZT nanofibers (NFs) network where the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were introduced into the piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) NFs to simultaneously improve the electrical conductivity and mechanical strength of nanocomposites. When subjected to a periodical bending deformation , the CNTs@PZT NFs network-based PENG with optimal addition of CNTs (0.6 wt%) generates a maximum electrical output up to ∼12.5 V and ∼80 nA cm −2 which is four times higher than that of PENGs without CNTs doping. An ultrahigh power density of 91.7 nW cm −2 is obtained with an external load resistance of 40 MΩ when pressed via a 10 N compressive force , and furthermore, the generated power could charge a capacitor and further light a commercial LED. This work may pave a new way for the development of high-output nanocomposite-type PENGs.

Transparent and flexible electronics research is a lively and promising domain that holds immense potential for a plethora of innovative applications in consumer electronics, healthcare, and renewable energy sectors. It would be extremely beneficial to develop internal energy sources that are transparent and do not alter the visual appearance would. In this study, we introduce the design of a transparent and flexible zinc-ion solid-state battery (TFZSB), all of whose component elements, such as the electrode, electrolyte/diaphragm, and packaging, are made of transparent and soft materials. The electrodes have been constructed with a framework of nanotube (NT) networks, while the electrolyte is built from a polyacrylamide (PAM) hydrogel material. The suggested electrode design effectively leverages the outstanding optical properties and flexibility of the NT network, while the construction assimilates the PAM hydrogel for providing electrical protection and fabricate the electrolyte, culminating in a resilient interface, which confers exceptional electrochemical stability under varying mechanical strains. With a strong visible-light spectrum transmittance of >80 % and a retention Coulombic efficiency of >92 % under large-scale strains, the TFZSB demonstrates a mass specific capacity of 122.6mAh/g. This TFZSB constitutes a breakthrough in the realm of wearable and smart electronics, and holds the potential to unlock a multitude of opportunities in the future by bridging the domains of energy storage and flexibility/transparency.

Herein, we report one bendable paper-based zinc-air battery with a novel hollow channel structure. It achieves a maximum power density of 138 mW/cm 2 , outperforming the state-of-art paper-based batteries reported previously. The boosted performance is assigned to the low charge transfer resistance and facilitated mass transfer from the hollow structure. It demonstrates the positive design of microchannel structure is profitable for the power-generation enhancement, and offers a possible route to commercialize the paper-based power generators.

Inspired by the traditional Chinese “pancake-making” method, the efficient electromagnetic interferences (EMI) shielding composite carbon films are conveniently obtained by assembling graphene oxide (GO) sheets, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and Co/C nanocomposites into a laminated “nacre-like” structure. The developed composite carbon films are characterized by a shielding effectiveness (SE) up to ≈51 dB in X band with a small thickness of ≈34.3 µm. Moreover, the composite carbon film shows favorable flexibility and the SE values almost keep a constant after repeatedly bending test. These results demonstrate a promising approach to simply fabricate a flexible and highly efficient EMI shielding material.
