文摘As thermal protection substrates for wearable electronics,functional soft composites made of polymer materials embedded with phase change materials and metal layers demonstrate unique capabilities for the thermal protection of human skin.Here,we develop an analytical transient phase change heat transfer model to investigate the thermal performance of a wearable electronic device with a thermal protection substrate.The model is validated by experiments and the finite element analysis(FEA).The effects of the substrate structure size and heat source power input on the temperature management efficiency are investigated systematically and comprehensively.The results show that the objective of thermal management for wearable electronics is achieved by the following thermal protection mechanism.The metal thin film helps to dissipate heat along the in-plane direction by reconfiguring the direction of heat flow,while the phase change material assimilates excessive heat.These results will not only promote the fundamental understanding of the thermal properties of wearable electronics incorporating thermal protection substrates,but also facilitate the rational design of thermal protection substrates for wearable electronics.

文摘The conductive polymer poly-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene(PEDOT),recognized for its superior electrical conductivity and biocompatibility,has become an attractive material for developing wearable technologies and bioelectronics.Nevertheless,the complexities associated with PEDOT's patterning synthesis on diverse substrates persist despite recent technological progress.In this study,we introduce a novel deep eutectic solvent(DES)-induced vapor phase polymerization technique,facilitating nonrestrictive patterning polymerization of PEDOT across diverse substrates.By controlling the quantity of DES adsorbed per unit area on the substrates,PEDOT can be effectively patternized on cellulose,wood,plastic,glass,and even hydrogels.The resultant patterned PEDOT exhibits numerous benefits,such as an impressive electronic conductivity of 282 S·m-1,a high specific surface area of 5.29 m^(2)·g-1,and an extensive electrochemical stability range from-1.4 to 2.4 V in a phosphate-buffered saline.To underscore the practicality and diverse applications of this DES-induced approach,we present multiple examples emphasizing its integration into self-supporting flexible electrodes,neuroelectrode interfaces,and precision circuit repair methodologies.

文摘Flexible electronic devices with compliant mechanical deformability and electrical reliability have been a focal point of research over the past decade,particularly in the fields of wearable devices,brain-computer interfaces(BCIs),and electronic skins.These emerging applications impose stringent requirements on flexible sensors,necessitating not only their ability to withstand dynamic strains and conform to irregular surfaces but also to ensure long-term stable monitoring.To meet these demands,onedimensional nanowires,with high aspect ratios,large surface-to-volume ratios,and programmable geometric engineering,are widely regarded as ideal candidates for constructing high-performance flexible sensors.Various innovative assembly techniques have enabled the effective integration of these nanowires with flexible substrates.More excitingly,semiconductor nanowires,prepared through low-cost and efficient catalytic growth methods,have been successfully employed in the fabrication of highly flexible and stretchable nanoprobes for intracellular sensing.Additionally,nanowire arrays can be deployed on the cerebral cortex to record and analyze neural activity,opening new avenues for the treatment of neurological disorders.This review systematically examines recent advancements in nanowire-based flexible sensing technologies applied to wearable electronics,BCIs,and electronic skins,highlighting key design principles,operational mechanisms,and technological milestones achieved through growth,assembly,and transfer processes.These developments collectively advance high-performance health monitoring,deepen our understanding of neural activities,and facilitate the creation of novel,flexible,and stretchable electronic skins.Finally,we also present a summary and perspectives on the current challenges and future opportunities for nanowirebased flexible sensors.

文摘Wearable tactile sensing systems with bionic designs holds significant promise for environmental interactions and human–machine communication.Triboelectric sensing technology plays a vital role in acquiring and quantifying tactile signals.Conventional elastic sensing materials,however,lack damping performance and are easily damaged by vibrations,leading to sensor failure.To address this challenge,our study proposes a highly damping triboelectric gel based on a hydrogen bonding assisted microphase separation strategy.In microphase separation,the soft phase provides the viscoelasticity needed for the gel,while the hard phase dissipates shock energy.This energy dissipation mechanism enables the gel to achieve excellent damping performance(tanδ=0.68 at 1Hz),skin-like softness(Young’s modulus of 130 kPa),and stretchability(>900%).The resulting self-damping tactile patch effectively absorbs and dissipates external vibrations,ensuring a stable and reliable wearable tactile sensing device.This work provides new insights into the application of triboelectric gels in wearable electronics.

文摘High-performance wearable electronics are highly desirable for the development of body warming and human health monitoring devices.In the present study,high electrically conductive and photothermal cotton yarns(CYs)with long-term stability were prepared as wearable electronics.The process contains back-to-back decoration of the fiber surface by Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)(MXene)nanosheets,and the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)polystyrene sulfonate(PEDOT:PSS)composite,to form a core–shell structure(MP@CY).The addition of a small amount of PEDOT:PSS plays a dual role of protecting the MXene from oxidation and increasing the electrical conductivity.The resulting yarn exhibits excellent electrical conductivity(21.8Ωcm^(−1)),rapid electrothermal response,and superb photothermal conversion capability,supporting its application as an optical/electrical dual-drive heater.A three-dimensional(3D)honeycomb-like textile wearable heater based on MP@CY as weft yarn demonstrates outstanding electrical thermal properties(0–2.5 V,30–196.8°C)and exceptional photothermal conversion(130 mW cm^(−2),64.2°C).Using an Internet of Things(IoT)microcontroller and Espressif(ESP)electronics chip,which are combined with wireless fidelity(Wi-Fi)and smartphone,real-time visualization and precise control of the temperature interface can be achieved.Furthermore,MP@CY-based knitted sensors,obtained by hand-knitting,are utilized for monitoring human movement and health,exhibiting high sensitivity and long-term cycling stability.

文摘Application of liquid metals and electrospun nanofibers offer a promising solution to insufficient resilience and human com-fort of wearable electronics.However,a sustainable manufacturing process is hindered by the low surface tension of liquid metal,and it's poor attachment to the surface of the fabric.This research reveals that tuning the pressure can control the adhesion of semiliquid metal(SLM)on substrates with varying roughness to achieve selective adhesion.Furthermore,a simple and rapid(30 s)fabrication method based on selective adhesion and low mobility of SLM is presented for preparing a multilayered monitoring device capable of measuring human body temperature and ECG signals for 24 h.This device exhibits excellent air permeability of 311.1 g·m^(-2)·h^(-1),water resistance(washing for 120 min).Our novel approach can inspire the development of methods for printing liquid metal circuits on roughness substrates and enable the practical use of waterproof and breathable wearable electronic devices in the future.

文摘Textiles for health and sporting activity monitoring are on the rise with the advent of smart portable wearables.The intention of this work is to design wireless monitoring wearables,based on widely available textiles and low environmental impact production technologies.Herein we have developed a polymeric ink which is able to functionalize different types of textile fibers(including silver conducting fibers,cotton,and commercial textile)with poly pyrrole.These fibers were weaved together with a thinner silver conducting fiber and carbon fiber to form a touch-sensitive energy harvesting system that would generate an electric output when mechanical pressure is applied to it.Different prototypes were manufactured with loom weaving accessories to simulate real textile cloths.By simple touch,the prototypes produced a maximum voltage of 244 V and a maximum power density of 2.29 W m^(-2).The current generated is then transformed into a digital signal,which is further utilized for human motion or gesture monitorization.The system comprises a wireless block for the Internet of Things(IoT)applicability that will be eventually extended to future remote health and sports monitoring systems.

文摘A rapidly growing field is piezoresistive sensor for accurate respiration rate monitoring to suppress the worldwide respiratory illness.However,a large neglected issue is the sensing durability and accuracy without interference since the expiratory pressure always coupled with external humidity and temperature variations,as well as mechanical motion artifacts.Herein,a robust and biodegradable piezoresistive sensor is reported that consists of heterogeneous MXene/cellulose-gelation sensing layer and Ag-based interdigital electrode,featuring customizable cylindrical interface arrangement and compact hierarchical laminated architecture for collectively regulating the piezoresistive response and mechanical robustness,thereby realizing the long-term breath-induced pressure detection.Notably,molecular dynamics simulations reveal the frequent angle inversion and reorientation of MXene/cellulose in vacuum filtration,driven by shear forces and interfacial interactions,which facilitate the establishment of hydrogen bonds and optimize the architecture design in sensing layer.The resultant sensor delivers unprecedented collection features of superior stability for off-axis deformation(0-120°,~2.8×10^(-3) A)and sensing accuracy without crosstalk(humidity 50%-100%and temperature 30-80).Besides,the sensor-embedded mask together with machine learning models is achieved to train and classify the respiration status for volunteers with different ages(average prediction accuracy~90%).It is envisioned that the customizable architecture design and sensor paradigm will shed light on the advanced stability of sustainable electronics and pave the way for the commercial application in respiratory monitory.
