Smart firefighting clothing is in urgent need of rigorous fire resistance. Here, a novel 2D nanomaterial, silver nanoparticle@polydopamine@M(OH)(OCH 3 ) (M=Co, Ni) (AgNP@PDA@M(OH)(OCH 3 )), was utilized to construct self-assembled nano-coated aramid fiber (NCANF). Through phase interface catalysis and high-temperature reduction, NCANF forms a distinctive “metal–carbon–air” honeycomb-like buffer that enables NCANF to withstand the butane flame (1300 °C) for at least 60 s, exceeding the performance of firefighting uniform (FU, Nomex) in service. In this process, the back temperature of NCANF decreased by more than 50% compared to FU, with a maximum difference of 236.1 °C. NCANF offers a rapid fire alarm response under 3 s with a maximum resistance change rate of 15%, and supports the graded indication using arithmetic amplifier circuit. NCANF maintained a maximum resistance change rate of approximately 63% during 50 repeated bends of the manipulator joint. Leveraging the relationship between the joint bending angle and resistance change rate, an “attitude code” system can be established as the initial parameter matrix of a neural network and can enable the recognition of the firefighters’ body language. NCANF well solves the problem of current smart firefighting clothing that lacks rigorous fireproofing and is promising to establish a linked rescue mode based on real-time on-site information collection.

Fire alarm systems are essential for protecting lives and properties from fire hazards. However, most of the existing fire alarm nanopapers rely on the resistance reduction after heating, which requires direct contact with the flame. In this study, we present a novel fire alarm nanopaper (CMPA) based on heat-triggered shape recovery. The CMPA is composed of hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) as the matrix and 2D nanomaterials M(OH)(OCH 3 ) as fillers. When the temperature of CMPA exceeded the glass transition, the thrice-folded CMPA-1.0 flattened in 30s and connected to the alarm circuit based on its conductive surface. According to the results, the CMPA-1.0 with a thickness of about 0.2 mm had an efficient electromagnetic shielding of 42.1 dB. Moreover, the CMPA-1.0 self-extinguished rapidly after being ignited with its original shape preserved. The peak heat release rate of CMPA-1.0 was 108.9 W/g, which was 61.9 % lower than that of HPMC. Furthermore, the thermal conductivity of CMPA-1.0 reached to 0.317 W m −1 K −1 , which was 40.8 % higher than that of HPMC, reducing the heat accumulation effectively. This work shows that CMPA is an ideal material for sensitive and safe early fire alarm, and the strategy based on heat-triggered shape recovery is promising in fire alarm application.

Transparent chitosan (CS) film is prepared and its application in high temperature/fire warning is discussed. NaCl-doped chitosan (CS-NaCl) film shows excellent performance in real-time temperature monitoring and fire warning. The temperature warning of CS-NaCl film can be triggered under approximately 50 °C, and it has a good repeatable warning performance under high-temperature conditions. The CS composite film exhibits an ultra-sensitive (0.4 s) warning under fire attacking. A possible electrical conduction and fire-alarm mechanisms are proposed. The addition of NaCl increases the number of charge carriers, which improves the ionic conductivity of the composite film. This study provides a possibility for the application of CS in the field of fire warning.

The fabrics commonly used in architectural decorative materials pose significant fire hazards due to their flammability and rapid fire spread. Moreover, the traditional fire-alarm systems may fail to function properly in complex fire environments owing to power supply disruptions. In this study, we developed a low-cost and eco-friendly flame-retardant conductive fabric-based triboelectric nanogenerator (FCF-TENG) by integrating flame-retardant conductive nylon fabric and polytetrafluoroethylene soaked cotton fabric. This nanogenerator exhibits excellent flame-retardant properties and remarkable energy-harvesting capabilities. The nylon fabric, treated with layer-by-layer self-assembly method, possesses outstanding self-extinguishing capability and melt-dripping resistance. Additionally, the electrical performance of FCF-TENG significantly improves, with a 10-fold boost in conductivity, and the open-circuit voltage increases by 84% to 92 V. Besides, by incorporating the rectifier circuit, the FCF-TENG is capable of completely charging a 1 μF capacitor within 30 s. Furthermore, the FCF-TENG was successfully applied as a self-powered sensor in the fire-alarm system and served as a safety exit indicator for evacuees and fire rescue. This work presents an effective and innovative application of multifunctional smart textiles for energy harvesting and self-powered sensing.

Harvesting heat from fire itself to power wireless sensor networks has the potential to realize effective detection and alarm for forest fires. Thermocells based on the thermogalvanic effect offer an inexpensive and scalable way for heat-to-electricity conversion but challenged by their low performance. We demonstrate a boosted thermogalvanic effect by introducing concentration gradients into a thermocell, achieving a one order magnitude enhancement of output up to 45.9 W m−2. Using a heat-triggered membrane as the start switch, a thermocell which can hibernate in peacetime and awaken when fire occurs, is further obtained. A proof-of-concept device integrated from five units successfully detects precombustion and open fire to synchronously generate a high voltage of ∼2 V for driving an alarm. This system shows promise for combating the globally increasing forest fires.

Flame-retardant silane-grafted-graphene oxide (silane-GO) papers are fabricated via a green and versatile silane-assisted assembling strategy, and their use as early fire alarm sensors are investigated. Different silane molecules with alkoxy groups can react with GO in aqueous solution via hydrolysis and condensation reactions and thus assemble into the aligned silane-GO papers. The silane-GO papers exhibit good mechanical flexibility, strong acidic/alkaline tolerance, excellent flame resistance and improved thermal stability at low silane content in comparison with pure GO paper. Structure observation and analysis disclose that a compact nano-silica protective layer transformed from the grafted silane molecules during combustion is formed to inhibit the thermal degradation of GO sheet effectively. Furthermore, the insulating silane-GO paper can be thermally reduced into the conductive reduced GO network after encountering high-temperature or flame situation, thus providing ideal early fire alarm response, i.e. rapid flame detecting response time of ∼1.6 s and fire early warning response of ∼5 s when attach on the heat resistor. These results suggest that the silane-GO papers are promising for development of advanced materials as smart sensors in early fire alarm applications.

Recently, the extensive use of combustible materials has amplified building fire damage, making it essential to incorporate fire-detection devices and flame-retardant materials in building. Herein, the chitosan/gelatin (CG) film and KH 2 PO 4 -modified CG (KCG) films were fabricated via an eco-friendly water evaporation method. Impressively, KCG films demonstrate swift response times: 0.5 s at 100 °C and 1.5 s under flame, facilitating prompt alarms during fire incidents. Compared to CG, KCG achieve a 70.4% and 46.2% reduction in peak heat release rate and total heat release respectively. They also offer flexibility, transparency, repeated fire-warning efficacy and superior char formation. With these properties, KCG hold promise for innovative building fire safety solutions like smart fire-alarm wallpaper. Besides, a tailored wireless-based fire-alarm system for KCG further decreases building fire damage. This work mitigates damages arising from building fires work, marking significant leap forward in the use of bio-based materials for fire prevention in architecture.

The design of wearable fabric with ultrasensitive fire alarm response and piezoresistive sensor capabilities is urgently imperative to prevent burn injuries to people in the fire accident. Herein, a novel cotton fabric-based piezoresistive sensor comprising hydrophobic waterborne polyurethane, polyphosphazene (PPZ) microspheres encapsulated 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (FAS), and amino-functionalized carbon nanotubes (A-CNTs) was proposed via a roll coating approach, which achieve self-healing, flame-retardant property, and intelligent fire alarm response. The fabric sensor exhibited prominent flame retardancy because of the synergistic formation of a dense flame-retardant layer on the fabric surface by A-CNTs and PPZ. The char residue of the fabric sensor reached 20.4 wt% at 800 °C, and the limiting oxygen index was as high as 27.4 %. Interestingly, benefiting from the thermoelectric characteristic of A-CNTs, the fabric sensor triggered the fire alarm system within 2 s. More importantly, since the resistance changed with their deformations, the fabric sensor can also monitor a variety of human motions, and its sensitivity (GF) can reach 4.79. Additionally, the resulting fabric sensor exhibited self-healing performance. After physical damage, under near-infrared light irradiation, the healing agent FAS spontaneously migrates towards the surface of the fabric, effectively restoring the superhydrophobic property of the fabric. This work provides new insight into the design and application of multifunctional fabric sensors.

Recently, the widespread utilization of combustible materials has increased the risks associated with building fires. Early fire-warning systems represent a pivotal strategy in mitigating losses incurred from fire incidents and offer considerable potential for the enhancement of fire safety management. This study focuses on the synthesis of bio-based ionic hydrogels, specifically calcium alginate/polyacrylamide/glycerol/lithium bromide (CPG-L X ), as a novel fire sensor. The synthesis was conducted using a one-pot polymerization method combined with solvent exchange techniques. The CPG-L 2 hydrogel exhibits impressive mechanical properties, demonstrating a maximum tensile strength of 1.24 MPa. Moreover, its Seebeck coefficient of 9.31 mV/K indicates a considerable thermoelectric performance. The fire-warning system based on CPG-L 2 is capable of triggering an alarm circuit just within 0.07 s under a heating plate condition of 70 °C, maintaining a warning duration of up to 855 s. Furthermore, it also has considerable flame-retardant, self-healing and water-retention properties. This research indicates the exceptional thermoelectric properties and temperature sensitivity of the bio-based ionic hydrogels, marking a significant advancement in the application of bio-based materials for early fire-warning systems.

Design and exploitation of smart fire-warning devices with ultrasensitive response capability are always an urgent need for effective fire protection. Herein, a nano-filler (BP-MoS 2 ) is prepared by ball milling black phosphorene and molybdenum disulfide and added into the graphene oxide (GO) film to fabricate a multifunctional film with high fire resistance and rapid response ability. When the addition of BP-MoS 2 is 20.0 wt%, the GO/BP-MoS 2 20.0 shows an excellent flame retardancy. The residual char rate is improved from 46.60% to 66.65%, and its peak of heat release rate (pHRR) value has reduced from 599.92 W g −1 to 274.00 W g −1 , resulting in a 54.33% decrease, which is attributed to the ultra-fast catalytic char formation and synergistic flame retardancy of BP and MoS 2 . Meanwhile, the composite film can still maintain the original shape within 15 s of ignition. More interestingly, when encountering a flame attack, it reveals an ultra-fast fire warning response (about 1 s), which is attributed to the fast carbonization after contacting with flame. Such approach offers a novel perspective for the preparation of intelligent fire alarm devices with ultra-fast response ability.

The domain of smart textiles represents a widely researched area, showcasing promising prospects. Herein, a multifunctional smart textile (CF@PM-AA) has been designed and fabricated, amalgamating flame retardancy, electrical conductivity, and hydrophobicity into a unified entity. The flame retardant, synthesized through the reaction between amino trimethylene phosphonic acid and allantoin, was impregnated into cotton fabric through a facile impregnation method. Through surface modification with polydimethylsiloxane and multi-walled carbon nanotubes, the obtained CF@PM-AA acquires exceptional hydrophobic and acid-base environment durability. Significantly, the electrical conductivity of CF@PM-AA is greatly enhanced, with a reduced resistance down from 15.9 GΩ to 13 MΩ. Based on their electrical characteristics, the copper sheet and CF@PM-AA function as the electrode and friction layers, respectively, in the construction of the triboelectric nanogenerator. This configuration produces a voltage output of up to 125.6 V at a frequency of 4 Hz. Given its outstanding flame retardancy, hydrophobicity, and electrical performance, CF@PM-AA can be integrated into firefighting suits to establish a fire-alarm system with remote signal transmission function, enhancing personnel safety. Simultaneously, the CF@PM-AA holds promise for diverse applications in wearable flame-retardant and fire-alarm systems, opening new avenues for smart textile utilization in the Internet of Things domain.

Many studies are still limited to focusing on the primary structure of biomass macromolecules, ignoring the impact of the multi-level structure of macromolecules and their conformational evolution on the high-value utilization of biomass. In this paper, a novel and clever strategy is designed and executed to regulate and immobilize the multi-level structure of lignin macromolecules. Lignin with different spatial conformations exhibits differences in physical properties and processability, despite their chemical primary structures being highly similar. In order to clearly and intuitively study the impact of multi-level structures, lignin-based carbon nanofibers (CFs) with high requirements for processing and precursor properties have been selected as the high-value utilization. The introduction of lignin with optimized multi-level structures effectively improves fiber morphology, uniform diameter, and flexibility. The resulting lignin-based CFs exhibit excellent refractoriness, stability, flame sensitivity (response time of only 1 s), and good energy storage properties (specific capacitance up to 226.1F/g). Furthermore, the CFs moist-electric generator has a high power generation efficiency, and the output voltage of a single device reaches 0.649 V and the output current is up to 160 μA. This work may explain a long-standing issue: why do lignin macromolecules with similar primary structures exhibit many differences in physical and processing properties, which is of great significance for promoting the industrial utilization of lignin macromolecules.
