文摘The development of non-invasive brain-computer interfaces(BCIs)relies on multidisciplinary integration across neuroscience,artificial intelligence,flexible electronics,and systems engineering.Recent advances in deep learning have significantly improved the accuracy and robustness of neural signal decoding.Parallel progress in electrode design—particularly through the use of flexible and stretchable materials like nanostructured conductors and novel fabrication strategies—has enhanced wearability and operational stability.Nevertheless,key challenges persist,including individual variability,biocompatibility limitations,and susceptibility to interference in complex environments.Further validation and optimization are needed to address gaps in generalization capability,long-term reliability,and real-world operational robustness.This review systematically examines the representative progress in neural decoding algorithms and flexible bioelectronic platforms over the past decade,highlighting key design principles,material innovations,and integration strategies that are poised to advance non-invasive BCI capabilities.It also discusses the importance of multimodal data fusion,hardware-software co-optimization,and closed-loop control strategies.Furthermore,the review discusses the application potential and associated engineering challenges of this technology in clinical rehabilitation and industrial translation,aiming to provide a reference for advancing non-invasive BCIs toward practical and scalable deployment.

文摘Zinc-air batteries(ZABs)are promising candidates for flexible electronics due to their high energy density and low cost.However,their development is hindered by the sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction(OER)and oxygen reduction reaction(ORR).Herein,we present a novel heterostructured electrocatalyst composed of vertically aligned N-doped graphene(NVG)arrays anchored on Ru-doped ceria(RCO)nanofibers,synthesized via a one-step plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition process.Notably,during the plasma-enhanced driven NVG growth,Ru nanoparticles are spontaneously in-situ exsolved from the RCO lattice,forming a unique Ru@RCO-NVG heterostructure.Density functional theory calculations reveal that the Ru@RCO-NVG heterojunction induces interfacial electronic redistribution,thereby significantly lowering the energy barriers for both OER and ORR.Benefiting from the synergistic effects,the Ru@RCO-NVG catalyst exhibits exceptional intrinsic activity towards OER/ORR(an overpotential of 370 mV for OER at 10 mA cm^(−2)and a half-wave potential of 0.86 V for ORR),and higher all-solid-state flexible ZAB performance(peak power density of 286.1 mW cm^(−2)),surpassing commercial Pt/C-IrO_(2)catalysts.This work not only advances the integration of synergistic graphene/ceria composites but also offers a promising strategy for designing efficient electrocatalysts for next-generation energy conversion technologies.

文摘The deployment of flexible zinc-ion batteries is impeded by dendrite growth from random anode defects.Conventional defect-elimination strategies often compromise flexibility and fail to achieve uniform interfaces.We propose a paradigm shift:reconfiguring random defects into engineered,monodisperse artificial micro-curves to homogenize electric fields and guide aligned zinc(Zn)deposition.Using moisture-assisted flash heating,we transform zincophilic silver(Ag)coatings on carbon fibers into uniformly dispersed micro-curved particles(Ag Particles@CC),creating identical nucleation sites with optimal zinc ion(Zn^(2+))adsorption energetics.Theoretical simulations confirm these structures eliminate localized field concentrations,enabling homogeneous plating/stripping.This design demonstrates remarkable performance,with ultrastable 1500 cycles at 10 mA cm^(-2)(98.6%avg.Coulombic efficiency)and symmetric cell operation>650 h(57.7 mV hysteresis).Crucially,interparticle discontinuities preserve intrinsic flexibility,enabling flexible pouch cells(Ag Particles@CC-Zn//NaV_(3)O_(8)·1,5H_(2)O)to successfully power wearable devices such as smartwatches and smartphones.This work establishes defect reconfiguration via artificial micro-curvature engineering as a universal strategy toward dendritesuppressed,flexible energy storage.

文摘Driven by the burgeoning demand for wearable electronics,the development of inherently safe,mechanically compliant,and high-energy–density power sources has become imperative.Flexible aqueous Zn ions batteries(FAZIBs)are hampered by Zn dendrite formation and hydrogen evolution,underscoring the urgent need for highly stable and novel flexible energy-storage devices.Although flexible aqueous cobalt-ion batteries(FACIBs)employing cobalt-salt aqueous electrolytes exhibit high theoretical capacity,they suffer from two limitations:the rapid dissolution of cathode active substances in the aqueous electrolyte and the risk of liquid electrolyte leakage under mechanical deformation.Here,we report the first realization of an ultra-stable,quasi-solid-state and mechanically FACIBs.Polyacrylamide(PAM)containing CoSO_(4) serves as the quasi-solid electrolyte,while cobalt hexacyanoferrate(CoHCF)functions as the cathode active material,and metallic cobalt foil as the flexible anode.This configuration simultaneously eliminates electrolyte leakage and suppresses the dissolution of CoHCF due to the common-ion effect of Co^(2+).Consequently,the fabricated FACIBs exhibit extraordinary cycling durability and remarkable mechanical robustness(95.9%retention after 500 bending cycles).Thus,this work provides a new way for designing ultra-stable energy storage devices for wearable electronics.

文摘Flexible pressure sensors are widely used in fields such as healthcare,owing to their simple preparation method,abundant raw materials,and high sensitivity.To solve the problems of low sensitivity and high noise impact that arise with traditional capacitive pressure sensors,this paper proposes an electrical double layer microarray capacitive pressure sensor using silver nanowires(AgNW)and ionic liquids.AgNW/polyimide(PI)flexible electrodes and microarray-structured ionic liquids are utilized to obtain highly sensitive responses to changes in weak physiological signals.The microarray structure is a 20×20 quadrangular prism convex array.Experimental tests show that the sensor has high sensitivity(3.1202 kPa^(−1),0–800 kPa)and fast response/recovery times(100/100 ms).By flexibly attaching the sensor to the skin or a computer mouse,rapid and stable monitoring of micromovements such as facial muscles,vocalization,swallowing,finger joint activity,and mouse clicks can be achieved.The results obtained here are of value for the development of intelligent flexible electronics.

文摘An analytical model of a floating heaving box integrated with a vertical flexible porous membrane placed right next to the box applications to wave energy extraction and breakwater systems is developed under the reduced wave equation.The theoretical solutions for the heave radiating potential to the assigned physical model in the corresponding zones are attained by using the separation of variables approach along with the Fourier expansion.Applying the matching eigenfunction expansion technique and orthogonal conditions,the unknown coefficients that are involved in the radiated potentials are determined.The attained radiation potential allows the computation of hydrodynamic coefficients of the heaving buoy,Power Take-Off damping,and wave quantities.The accuracy of the analytical solution for the hydrodynamic coefficients is demonstrated for different oblique angles with varying numbers of terms in the series solution.The current analytical analysis findings are confirmed by existing published numerical boundary element method simulations.Several numerical results of the hydrodynamic coefficients,power capture,power take-off optimal damping,and transmission coefficients for numerous structural and physical aspects are conducted.It has been noted that the ideal power take-off damping increases as the angle of incidence rises,and the analysis suggests that the ability to capture waves is more effective in shallower waters compared to deeper ones.

文摘Conducting hydrogels have garnered significant interest in the field of wearable electronics.However,simultaneously achieving high transparency,high conductivity,strong adhesion,and self-healing ability within a short time remains a major challenge.In this study,a multifunctional mussel-inspired hydrogel was synthesized in only 5 min,with polydopamine(PDA)-polypyrrole(Ppy)-polyaniline(PANi)and poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)nanoparticles incorporated into the polyacrylamide(PAM)network.The resulting hydrogel exhibited high transparency(about 90% light transmission in the range of 400-800 nm),high conductivity((95.4±0.4)×10^(-4)S/cm),tensile strength(32.60±1.03 k Pa),strain at break(904.46%±11.50%),and adhesive strength(30-60 k Pa).It also demonstrated rapid self-healing properties(about 48% strength recovery within 1h at 50℃)and water-dependent shape memory behavior.As a wearable strain sensor,the hydrogel successfully detected finger flexion,wrist movements,facial expression changes,and breathing with high sensitivity and stability.The calculated gauge factor(GF)was 7.44±0.31,which is higher than that of many previously reported hydrogels.Compared with previous oyster-inspired or Ppy-based hydrogels,our system showed a much shorter synthesis time,higher transparency,and enhanced multifunctionality.These findings highlight the potential of the proposed hydrogel for next-generation flexible electronics,e-skin,and biomedical monitoring devices.
