Abstract
Light weight, thinness, transparency, flexibility, and insulation are the key indicators for flexible electronic device substrates. The common flexible substrates are usually polymer materials, but their recycling is an overwhelming challenge. Meanwhile, paper substrates are limited in practical applications because of their poor mechanical and thermal stability. However, natural biomaterials have excellent mechanical properties and versatility thanks to their organic-inorganic multiscale structures, which inspired us to design an organic-inorganic nanocomposite film. For this purpose, a bio-inspired multiscale film was developed using cellulose nanofibers with abundant hydrophilic functional groups to assist in dispersing hydroxyapatite nanowires. The thickness of the biosustainable film is only 40 μm, and it incorporates distinctive mechanical properties (strength: 52.8 MPa; toughness: 0.88 MJ m-3) and excellent optical properties (transmittance: 80.0%; haze: 71.2%). Consequently, this film is optimal as a substrate employed for flexible sensors, which can transmit capacitance and resistance signals through wireless Bluetooth, showing an ultrasensitive response to pressure and humidity (for example, responding to finger pressing with 5000% signal change and exhaled water vapor with 4000% signal change). Therefore, the comprehensive performance of the biomimetic multiscale organic-inorganic composite film confers a prominent prospect in flexible electronics devices, food packaging, and plastic substitution.

Abstract
Among various non-contact direct ink writing techniques, aerosol jet printing (AJP) stands out due to its distinct advantages, including a more adaptable working distance (2-5 mm) and higher resolution (~ 10 μm). These characteristics make AJP a promising technology for the precise customization of intricate electrical functional devices. However, complex interactions among the machine, process, and materials result in low controllability over the electrical performance of printed lines. This significantly affects the functionality of printed components, thereby limiting the broad applications of AJP. Therefore, a systematic machine learning approach that integrates experimental design, geometrical features extraction, and non-parametric modeling is proposed to achieve printing quality optimization and electrical resistivity prediction for the printed lines in AJP. Specifically, three classical convolutional neural networks (CNNs) architectures are compared for extracting representative features of printed lines, and an optimal operating window is identified to effectively discriminate better line morphology from inferior printed line patterns within the design space. Subsequently, three representative non-parametric machine learning techniques are employed for resistivity modeling. Following that, the modeling performances of the adopted machine learning methods were systematically compared based on four conventional evaluation metrics. Together, these aspects contribute to optimizing the printed line morphology, while simultaneously identifying the optimal resistivity model for accurate predictions in AJP.

Abstract
This work aims to understand how nanocellulose (NC) processing can modify the key characteristics of NC films to align with the main requirements for high-performance optoelectronics. The performance of these devices relies heavily on the light transmittance of the substrate, which serves as a mechanical support and optimizes light interactions with the photoactive component. Critical variables that determine the optical and mechanical properties of the films include the morphology of cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), as well as the concentration and turbidity of the respective aqueous suspensions. This study demonstrates that achieving high transparency was possible by reducing the grammage and adjusting the drying temperature through hot pressing. Furthermore, the use of modified CNF, specifically carboxylated CNF, resulted in more transparent films due to a higher nanosized fraction and lower turbidity. The mechanical properties of the films depended on their structure, homogeneity (spatial uniformity of local grammage), and electrokinetic factors, such as the presence of electrostatic charges on CNF. Additionally, we investigated the angle-dependent transmittance of the CNF films, since solar devices usually operate under indirect light. This work demonstrates the importance of a systematic approach to the optimization of cellulose films, providing valuable insight into the optoelectronic field.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technology, as an important analytical tool, has been widely applied in the field of chemical and biomedical sensing. Automated testing is often combined with biochemical analysis technologies to shorten the detection time and minimize human error. The present SERS substrates for sample detection are time-consuming and subject to high human error, which are not conducive to the combination of SERS and automated testing. Here, a novel honeycomb-inspired SERS microarray is designed for large-area automated testing of urease in saliva samples to shorten the detection time and minimize human error. The honeycomb-inspired SERS microarray is decorated with hexagonal microwells and a homogeneous distribution of silver nanostars. Compared with the other four common SERS substrates, the optimal honeycomb-inspired SERS microarray exhibits the best SERS performance. The RSD of 100 SERS spectra continuously collected from saliva samples is 6.56%, and the time of one detection is reduced from 5 min to 10 s. There is a noteworthy linear relationship with a R2 of 0.982 between SERS intensity and urease concentration, indicating the quantitative detection capability of the urease activity in saliva samples. The honeycomb-inspired SERS microarray, combined with automated testing, provides a new way in which SERS technology can be widely used in biomedical applications.

Abstract
One of the primary objectives in contemporary electronics is to develop sensors that are not only scalable and cost-effective but also environmentally sustainable. To achieve this goal, numerous experiments have focused on incorporating nanomaterial-based films, which utilize nanoparticles or van der Waals materials, on paper substrates. In this article, we present a novel fabrication technique for producing dry-abraded van der Waals films on paper, demonstrating outstanding electrical characteristics. We assess the quality and uniformity of these films by conducting a spatial resistivity characterization on a 5 × 5 cm2 dry-abraded WS2 film with an average thickness of 25 μm. Employing transfer length measurements with varying channel length-to-width ratios, we extract critical parameters, including sheet resistance and contact resistance. Notably, our findings reveal a resistivity approximately one order of magnitude lower than previous reports. The film's inherent disorder manifests as an asymmetric distribution of resistance values for specific geometries. We explore how this behavior can be effectively modeled through a random resistance network (RRN), which can reproduce the experimentally observed resistance distribution. Finally, we investigate the response of these devices under applied uniaxial strain and apply the RRN model to gain a deeper understanding of this process.

Abstract
Conductive inks are one of the most important functional materials for printed flexible electronic devices, and their properties determine the methods of subsequent patterning and metallization. In comparison with copper nanoparticle or nanowire inks, copper particle-free inks employing copper(II) formate (Cuf) as a precursor have attracted the interest of researchers due to their flexibility in preparation, excellent stability, and lower conversion temperature. Alkanolamines can provide Cuf with excellent solubility in alcohols while being less toxic and having a certain reducibility, making them preferable ligands in comparison with aliphatic amines and pyridine. However, there have been few studies on the effects of the alkanolamine types on the performance of Cuf inks. Also, the decomposition mechanism of copper-alkanolamine complex inks is not clear. In this work, different kinds of alkanolamines were chosen as ligands to formulate Cuf inks to address the mentioned issues. The influences of amine types on the stability, wettability, thermal decomposition behavior, and electrical performance of the formulated Cuf particle-free inks were investigated in detail. The results show that the utilization of alkanolamines could provide Cuf with excellent solubility in alcohols, resulting in an ink with good stability and favorable wetting properties. The thermal decomposition temperature and electrical performance of the formulated copper ink are largely dependent on the amine used. When amines with a longer carbon chain and more branches were utilized to prepare the ink, a decreased decomposition temperature was observed on the derived inks because of the steric hindrance effect. Copper films with good morphology and conductivity could be obtained at low temperatures by selecting the appropriate alkanolamine. Copper particle-free conductive ink from 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol demonstrated better morphology and electrical performance (16.09 μΩ·cm) and was successfully used for conductive circuits by direct-writing.

Abstract
Paper electronics have received a lot of attention due to their special properties of mechanical flexibility/foldability, sustainability, biodegradability, light weight, and low cost. It provides a superb on-chip prototype with simple modular design and feasible energy-autonomous features, which can surpass the problems of inconvenience and possible pollution caused by conventional power sources by integrating different functional modules. Commonly, the sustainable operation of integrated paper electronics can be guaranteed by the basic components, including energy-harvesting devices, energy-storage devices, and low-power-consuming functional circuits/devices. Furthermore, sustainable paper electronics are possible to be further extended to develop energy-efficient neuromorphic paper chip by utilizing cutting-edge neuromorphic components based on traditional paper-based transistors, memories, and logic gates toward potential in-memory computing applications. The working process of the sustainable paper electronics implies an energy cycling of surrounding energy conversion, electrochemical energy storage, and energy utilization in functional circuits (in the form of photonic, thermal, electromagnetic, or mechanical energy). Sustainable paper electronics provide a promising path for achieving efficient, cost-effective, and customizable integrated electronics and self-powered systems with complementary features.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) based on rigid substrates has been widely used in biomedical detection due to its high sensitivity and specificity. However, the tedious operation steps for preparing SERS rigid substrates limited their applications in real-world detection. Compared with general rigid substrate, the flexible substrate has the advantages of simple preparation and easy portability, which are suitable for rapid, wearable and personalized detection in the field of point-of-care test. Herein, the flexible SERS substrates employing copolymer were fabricated and used for detection of skin cortisol, a biomarker for evaluating psychological stress in sweat. Silver triangle nanoplates with sharp corner were used as enhanced particles, and transferred to polyvinyl chloride/styrene-ethylene-butene-styrene copolymer (PVC/SEBS) film through three-phase interface self-assembly. By adjusting the size of silver nanoparticles, the ratio of PVC to SEBS in the polymer film, and the number of transfers of self-assembled silver films, the enhancement effect of the flexible SERS substrate was maximized. In addition, functionalization of the flexible SERS substrate with cortisol antibodies is used to achieve specific detection of cortisol on the skin surface. Under the optimal conditions, the Raman peak intensities at 1268 and 1500 cm-1 of the cortisol had a good linear relationship with the logarithm of its concentration in the range of 10-7 to 10-3 M, and the detection limits were 5.47 × 10-8 M and 5.51 × 10-8 M, respectively. The flexible silver triangle nanoplates SERS substrate constructed by self-assembly in the three-phase interface has the characteristics of good specificity and high sensitivity, which has potential for transdermal cortisol wearable detection, providing a feasible method for the rapid evaluating psychological stress level.

Abstract
The technical synergy between flexible sensing paper and triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) in the next stage of artificial intelligence Internet of Things engineering makes the development of intelligent sensing paper with triboelectric function very attractive. Therefore, it is extremely urgent to explore functional papers that are more suitable for triboelectric sensing. Here, a cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) reinforced PVDF hybrid paper (CPHP) is developed by electrospinning technology. Benefitting from the unique effects of CNCs, CPHP forms a solid cross-linked network among fibers and obtains a high-strength (25 MPa) paper-like state and high surface roughness. Meanwhile, CNCs also improve the triboelectrification effect of CPHP by assisting the PVDF matrix to form more electroactive phases (96% share) and a higher relative permittivity (17.9). The CPHP-based TENG with single electrode configuration demonstrates good output performance (open-circuit voltage of 116 V, short-circuit current of 2.2 µA and power density of 91 mW m-2 ) and ultrahigh pressure-sensitivity response (3.95 mV Pa-1 ), which endows CPHP with reliable power supply and sensing capability. More importantly, the CPHP-based flexible self-powered tactile sensor with TENG array exhibits multifunctional applications in imitation Morse code compilation, tactile track recognition, and game character control, showing great prospects in the intelligent inductive device and human-machine interaction.

Abstract
Paper-based thermoelectric (PTE) generators have recently emerged as a green technology that can help alleviate environment pollution and the energy crisis. In this work, a PTE generator was prepared by coating a post-treatment-free thermoelectric ink consisting of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) doped with 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium:tricyanomethanide (EMIM:TCM) onto the card paper. By tuning the molar concentration of the EMIM:TCM to 0.17 M and with hot-pressing, the PTE generator showed a decent power factor (PF) value of 6.82 μW m-1 K-2, which was higher than the values of PTE in the literature. This phenomenon could be attributed to the synergistic effect of high-performance thermoelectric ink (i.e., PF = 175 μW m-1 K-2 when deposited on glass slide) and the hot-pressing. The hot-pressing enhanced the packing density of cellulose fibers and the associated PEDOT:PSS hybrid, which enabled the formation of long-range conductive paths. In addition, the PTE had good mechanical stability, indicated by no significant change of the power factor values after cyclic folding 10,000 times. Moreover, the structure of as-prepared PTE could be easily tuned into different shapes that are promising for the preparation of flexible wearable thermoelectric generators.

Abstract
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) physically support and connect electronic components to the implementation of complex circuits. The most widespread insulating substrate that also acts as a mechanical support in PCBs is commercially known as FR4, and it is a glass-fiber-reinforced epoxy resin laminate. FR4 has exceptional dielectric, mechanical, and thermal properties. However, it was designed without considering sustainability and end-of-life aspects, heavily contributing to the accumulation of electronic waste in the environment. Thus, greener alternatives that can be reprocessed, reused, biodegraded, or composted at the end of their function are needed. This work presents the development and characterization of a PCB substrate based on poly(lactic acid) and cotton fabric, a compostable alternative to the conventional FR4. The substrate has been developed by compression molding, a process compatible with the polymer industry. We demonstrate that conductive silver ink can be additively printed on the substrate's surface, as its morphology and wettability are similar to those of FR4. For example, the compostable PCB's water contact angle is 72°, close to FR4's contact angle of 64°. The developed substrate can be thermoformed to curved surfaces at low temperatures while preserving the conductivity of the silver tracks. The green substrate has a dielectric constant comparable to that of the standard FR4, showing a value of 5.6 and 4.6 at 10 and 100 kHz, respectively, which is close to the constant value of 4.6 of FR4. The substrate is suitable for microdrilling, a fundamental process for integrating electronic components to the PCB. We implemented a proof-of-principle circuit to control the blinking of LEDs on top of the PCB, comprising resistors, capacitors, LEDs, and a dual in-line package circuit timer. The developed PCB substrate represents a sustainable alternative to standard FR4 and could contribute to the reduction of the overwhelming load of electronic waste in landfills.

Abstract
Paper-based flexible sensors are of great significance for promoting the development of green wearable electronic devices due to their good degradability and low cost. In this work, a paper-based wearable pressure sensor with a sandwich structure is proposed, which is assembled from a sensing layer printed with Ti3C2Tx MXene ink, an interdigitated electrode printed in the same simple and economical way, and two polyethylene terephthalate films. The demonstrated paper-based pressure sensor exhibits excellent sensitivity in a wide pressure sensing range, as well as cyclic stability at a certain pressure. The sensor can be attached to the human body's surface to monitor various pressure-related physical activities. Using a self-designed mobile phone APP, the special pressure signals collected from the sensor can be transmitted and translated, and an intelligent and encrypted information transmission system can be established. Since only ordinary printing paper and Ti3C2Tx MXene ink are used, the pressure sensor is easy to prepare, economical, and environmentally friendly, and it can be degraded by stirring in water without generating electronic waste. It can be foreseen that the proposed sensor shows bright application potential in the sustainable development of healthcare and human-computer interaction fields.

Abstract
Flexible nonvolatile memristors have potential applications in wearable devices. In this work, a helical polymer, poly (N, N-diphenylanline isocyanide) (PPIC), was synthesized as the active layer, and flexible electronic devices with an Al/PPIC/ITO architecture were prepared on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate. The device showed typical nonvolatile rewritable memristor characteristics. The high-molecular-weight helical structure stabilized the active layer under different bending degrees, bending times, and number of bending cycles. The memristor was further employed to simulate the information transmission capability of neural fibers, providing new perspectives for the development of flexible wearable memristors and biomimetic neural synapses. This demonstration highlights the promising possibilities for the advancement of artificial intelligence skin and intelligent flexible robots in the future.

Abstract
In recent decades, low-dimensional nanodevices have shown great potential to extend Moore's Law. The n-type semiconductors already have several candidate materials for semiconductors with high carrier transport and device performance, but the development of their p-type counterparts remains a challenge. As a p-type narrow bandgap semiconductor, tellurium nanostructure has outstanding electrical properties, controllable bandgap, and good environmental stability. With the addition of methods for synthesizing various emerging tellurium nanostructures with controllable size, shape, and structure, tellurium nanomaterials show great application prospects in next-generation electronics and optoelectronic devices. For tellurium-based nanomaterials, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy are the main characterization methods for their morphology. In this paper, the controllable synthesis methods of different tellurium nanostructures are reviewed, and the latest progress in the application of tellurium nanostructures is summarized. The applications of tellurium nanostructures in electronics and optoelectronics, including field-effect transistors, photodetectors, and sensors, are highlighted. Finally, the future challenges, opportunities, and development directions of tellurium nanomaterials are prospected.

Abstract
Antioxidants are crucial for human health, and the detection of antioxidants can provide valuable information for disease diagnosis and health management. In this work, we report a plasmonic sensing approach for the determination of antioxidants based on their antietching capacity toward plasmonic nanoparticles. The Ag shell of core-shell Au@Ag nanostars can be etched by chloroauric acid (HAuCl4), whereas antioxidants can interact with HAuCl4, which prevents the surface etching of Au@Ag nanostars. We modulate the thickness of the Ag shell and morphology of the nanostructures, showing that the core-shell nanostars with the smallest thickness of Ag shell have the best etching sensitivity. Owing to the extraordinary surface plasmon resonance (SPR) property of Au@Ag nanostars, the antietching effect of antioxidants can induce a significant change in both the SPR spectrum and the color of solution, facilitating both the quantitative detection and naked-eye readout. This antietching strategy enables the determination of antioxidants such as cystine and gallic acid with a linear range of 0.1-10 μM. The core-shell Au@Ag nanostars are further immobilized in agarose gels to fabricate test strips, which can display different color changes in the presence of HAuCl4 from 0 to 1000 μM. The agarose-based test strip is also capable of detecting antioxidants in real samples, which allows naked-eye readout and quantitative detection by a smartphone.

Wafer-patterned, permeable, and stretchable liquid metal microelectrodes for implantable bioelectronics with chronic biocompatibility. SCIENCE ADVANCES 2023; 9:eadg8602. [PMID: 37256954 PMCID: PMC10413659 DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adg8602] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 20.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2023] [Accepted: 04/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/02/2023]
Abstract
Implantable bioelectronics provide unprecedented opportunities for real-time and continuous monitoring of physiological signals of living bodies. Most bioelectronics adopt thin-film substrates such as polyimide and polydimethylsiloxane that exhibit high levels of flexibility and stretchability. However, the low permeability and relatively high modulus of these thin films hamper the long-term biocompatibility. In contrast, devices fabricated on porous substrates show the advantages of high permeability but suffer from low patterning density. Here, we report a wafer-scale patternable strategy for the high-resolution fabrication of supersoft, stretchable, and permeable liquid metal microelectrodes (μLMEs). We demonstrate 2-μm patterning capability, or an ultrahigh density of ~75,500 electrodes/cm2, of μLME arrays on a wafer-size (diameter, 100 mm) elastic fiber mat by photolithography. We implant the μLME array as a neural interface for high spatiotemporal mapping and intervention of electrocorticography signals of living rats. The implanted μLMEs have chronic biocompatibility over a period of eight months.

Abstract
Viruses cause various diseases in humans, and pose serious health risks to individuals and populations worldwide. As a result, various diagnostic procedures and methods have been developed to prevent, manage, and reduce the burden of viral diseases, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Among these, paper-based diagnostic chips are becoming increasingly common because of their speed, accuracy, convenience, and economical and environmental friendliness. These paper-based diagnostic tests have ideal point-of-care (POC) diagnostic applications, particularly in personalized healthcare. Paper-based diagnostics have emerged as innovative and low-cost solutions for diagnosing viral diseases in remote and underdeveloped regions where traditional diagnostic methods are not readily available. These tests are easy to use, require minimal equipment, and can be performed by nonspecialized personnel, making them accessible even in resource-constrained settings. In this review, we discuss recent developments in paper-based diagnostic chips, the importance of improved methods for identifying viral pathogens, drawbacks of traditional detection techniques, and challenges and prospects of paper-based diagnostic chips for the detection of viruses.

Abstract
The various forms of cellulose-based materials possess high mechanical and thermal stabilities, as well as three-dimensional open network structures with high aspect ratios capable of incorporating other materials to produce composites for a wide range of applications. Being the most prevalent natural biopolymer on the Earth, cellulose has been used as a renewable replacement for many plastic and metal substrates, in order to diminish pollutant residues in the environment. As a result, the design and development of green technological applications of cellulose and its derivatives has become a key principle of ecological sustainability. Recently, cellulose-based mesoporous structures, flexible thin films, fibers, and three-dimensional networks have been developed for use as substrates in which conductive materials can be loaded for a wide range of energy conversion and energy conservation applications. The present article provides an overview of the recent advancements in the preparation of cellulose-based composites synthesized by combining metal/semiconductor nanoparticles, organic polymers, and metal-organic frameworks with cellulose. To begin, a brief review of cellulosic materials is given, with emphasis on their properties and processing methods. Further sections focus on the integration of cellulose-based flexible substrates or three-dimensional structures into energy conversion devices, such as photovoltaic solar cells, triboelectric generators, piezoelectric generators, thermoelectric generators, as well as sensors. The review also highlights the uses of cellulose-based composites in the separators, electrolytes, binders, and electrodes of energy conservation devices such as lithium-ion batteries. Moreover, the use of cellulose-based electrodes in water splitting for hydrogen generation is discussed. In the final section, we propose the underlying challenges and outlook for the field of cellulose-based composite materials.

Abstract
Radio frequency energy harvesting (RFEH) systems have emerged as a critical component for powering devices and replacing traditional batteries, with paper being one of the most promising substrates for use in flexible RFEH systems. However, previous paper-based electronics with optimized porosity, surface roughness, and hygroscopicity still face limitations in terms of the development of integrated foldable RFEH systems within a single sheet of paper. In the present study, a novel wax-printing control and water-based solution process are used to realize an integrated foldable RFEH system within a single sheet of paper. The proposed paper-based device includes vertically layered foldable metal electrodes, a via-hole, and stable conductive patterns with a sheet resistance of less than 1 Ω sq-1 . The proposed RFEH system exhibits an RF/DC conversion efficiency of 60% and an operating voltage of 2.1 V in 100 s at a distance of 50 mm and a transmitted power of 50 mW. The integrated RFEH system also demonstrates stable foldability, with RFEH performance maintained up to a folding angle of 150°. The single-sheet paper-based RFEH system thus has the potential for use in practical applications associated with the remote powering of wearable and Internet-of-Things devices and in paper electronics.

Abstract
Natural polymers such as cellulose have interesting tribo- and piezoelectric properties for paper-based energy harvesters, but their low performance in providing sufficient output power is still an impediment to a wider deployment for IoT and other low-power applications. In this study, different types of celluloses were combined with nanosized carbon fillers to investigate their effect on the enhancement of the electrical properties in the final nanogenerator devices. Cellulose pulp (CP), microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) were blended with carbon black (CB), carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs). The microstructure of the nanocomposite films was characterized by scanning electron and probe microscopies, and the electrical properties were measured macroscopically and at the local scale by piezoresponse force microscopy. The highest generated output voltage in triboelectric mode was obtained from MCC films with CNTs and CB, while the highest piezoelectric voltage was produced in CNF-CNT films. The obtained electrical responses were discussed in relation to the material properties. Analysis of the microscopic response shows that pulp has a higher local piezoelectric d33 coefficient (145 pC/N) than CNF (14 pC/N), while the macroscopic response is greatly influenced by the excitation mode and the effective orientation of the crystals relative to the mechanical stress. The increased electricity produced from cellulose nanocomposites may lead to more efficient and biodegradable nanogenerators.

Abstract
In the first part of the review article "General considerations" we give information about conventional flexible platforms and consider the advantages and disadvantages of paper when used in humidity sensors, both as a substrate and as a humidity-sensitive material. This consideration shows that paper, especially nanopaper, is a very promising material for the development of low-cost flexible humidity sensors suitable for a wide range of applications. Various humidity-sensitive materials suitable for use in paper-based sensors are analyzed and the humidity-sensitive characteristics of paper and other humidity-sensitive materials are compared. Various configurations of humidity sensors that can be developed on the basis of paper are considered, and a description of the mechanisms of their operation is given. Next, we discuss the manufacturing features of paper-based humidity sensors. The main attention is paid to the consideration of such problems as patterning and electrode formation. It is shown that printing technologies are the most suitable for mass production of paper-based flexible humidity sensors. At the same time, these technologies are effective both in the formation of a humidity-sensitive layer and in the manufacture of electrodes.

Abstract
Integrating electronic applications with paper, placed next to or below printed images or graphics, can further expand the possible uses of paper substrates. Consuming paper as a substrate in the field of electronics can lead to significant innovations toward papertronics applications as paper comprises various advantages like being disposable, inexpensive, biodegradable, easy to handle, simple to use, and easily available. All of these advantages will definitely spur the advancement of the electronics field, but unfortunately, putting electronics on paper is not an easy task because, compared to plastics, the paper surface is not just rough but also porous. For example, in the case of lateral flow assay testing the sensor response is delayed if the pore size of the paper is enormous. This might be a disadvantage for most electrical devices printed directly on paper. Still, some methods make it compatible when fit with a rough, absorbent surface of the paper. Building electronic devices on a standard paper substrate have sparked much interest because of its lightweight, environmental friendliness, minimal cost, and simple fabrication. A slew of improvements have been achieved in recent years to make paper electronics perform better in various applications, including transistors, batteries, and displays. In addition, flexible electronics have gained much interest in human-machine interaction and wireless sensing. This review briefly examines the origins and fabrication of paper electronics and then moves on to applications and exciting possible paths for paper-based electronics.

Abstract
At present, the self-supporting paper-based electrode has some problems, such as low mechanical strength and insufficient flexibility, which restrict its application in flexible electronics. In this paper, FWF is used as the skeleton fiber, and the contact area and the number of hydrogen bonds of the fiber are increased by grinding the fiber and adding nanofibers to bridge it, and a level three gradient enhanced skeleton support network structure is constructed, which effectively improves the mechanical strength and foldability of the paper-based electrodes. The tensile strength of FWF15-BNF5 paper-based electrode is 7.4 MPa, the elongation at break is increased to 3.7%, the electrode thickness is as low as 66 μm, the electrical conductivities is 5.6 S cm-1, and the contact angle to electrolyte as low as 45°, which has excellent electrolyte wettability, flexibility, and foldability. After three-layer superimposed rolling, the discharge areal capacity reached 3.3 mAh cm-2 and 2.9 mAh cm-2 at the rate of 0.1 C and 1.5 C, respectively, which was superior to the commercial LFP electrode, it had good cycle stability, and the areal capacity was 3.0 mAh cm-2 and 2.8 mAh cm-2 after 100 cycles at the rate of 0.3 C and 1.5 C.

Mechanically strong nanopapers based on lignin containing cellulose micro- and nano-hybrid fibrils: Lignin content-fibrils morphology-strengthening mechanism. Carbohydr Polym 2023; 311:120753. [PMID: 37028856 DOI: 10.1016/j.carbpol.2023.120753] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2022] [Revised: 02/21/2023] [Accepted: 02/24/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2023]
Abstract
Lignin-containing cellulose nanopapers are emerging multifunctional materials in the fields of coatings, films, and packaging. However, the forming mechanism and properties of nanopapers with various lignin content have not been thoroughly studied. In this work, a mechanically strong nanopaper was fabricated based on lignin-containing cellulose micro- and nano-hybrid fibrils (LCNFs). The influence of lignin content and fibrils morphology on the formation process of nanopapers was investigated to understand the strengthening mechanism of nanopapers. LCNFs with high lignin content provided nanopapers with intertwined micro- and nano-hybrid fibrils layers with small layer spacing, while LCNFs with low lignin content offered nanopapers interlaced nanofibrils layers with large layer spacing. Although lignin was expected to interfere with hydrogen bonds between fibrils, the uniformly distributed lignin contributed to the stress transfer between fibrils. Due to the good coordination between microfibrils, nanofibrils and lignin (as network skeleton, filler and natural binder, respectively), the well-designed LCNFs nanopapers with lignin content of 14.5 % showed excellent mechanical properties, including tensile strength (183.8 MPa), Young's modulus (5.6 GPa) and elongation (9.2 %). This work deeply reveals the relationship between lignin content, morphology and strengthening mechanism of nanopapers, and providing theoretical guidance for employing LCNFs as structural and reinforcing materials to design robust composites.

Abstract
The flexible pressure sensor is expected to be applied in the new generation of sports wearable electronic devices. Developing flexible pressure sensors with a wide linear range and great sensitivity, however, remains a significant barrier. In this work, we propose a hybrid conductive elastomeric film oxide-based material with a concave-shape micro-patterned array (P-HCF) on the surface that sustainably shows the necessary sensing qualities. To enhance sensing range and sensitivity, one-dimensional carbon fibers and two-dimensional MXene are incorporated into the polydimethylsiloxane matrix to form a three-dimensional conductive network. Micro-patterns with a curved shape in P-HCFs can be able to linear sensitivity across the sensing range by controlling the pressure distribution inside the material. Besides, the sensitivity of P-HCF pressure sensor can reach 31.92 kPa-1, and meanwhile, the linear band of P-HCF pressure sensor can arrive at 24 Pa-720 kPa, which makes it a good choice for sports monitoring. The designed pressure sensor can be used to monitor the foot pressure during running. By analyzing the gait information during running, it can provide data support and strategy improvement for running. This new dual working mode pressure P-HCF sensor will provide a new way for the development of intelligent sports.

Abstract
The use of flexible, self-healing conductive hydrogels as a type of typical electronic skin with the function of transmitting sensory signals has attracted wide attention in the field of biomaterials. In this study, composite hydrogels based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), gelatin (GEL), oxidized sodium alginate (OSA), graphene oxide (GO), and single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) were successfully prepared. The hydrogen and imine bonding of the composite hydrogels gives them excellent self-healing properties. Their self-healing properties restore 68% of their breaking strength and over 95% of their electrical conductivity. The addition of GO and SWNTs enables the PGO-GS hydrogels to achieve a compressive modulus and conductivity of 42.2 kPa and 29.6 mS/m, which is 8.2 times and 1.5 times that of pure PGO, respectively. Furthermore, the PGO-GS hydrogels can produce profound feedback signals in response to deformation caused by external forces and human movements such as finger flexion and speech. In addition, the PGO-GS hydrogels exhibit superior biocompatibility compared to PGO. All of these results indicate that the PGO-GS hydrogels have great potential with respect to future applications in the field of electronic skin.

Abstract
An integrated dual-signal bioassay was devised to fulfil thrombin (TB) ultrasensitive detection by integrating visualization with the photoelectrochemical technique based on G-quadruplex/hemin. During the process, branched sheet embedded copper-based oxides prepared with illumination and alkaline condition play a vital role in obtaining the desirable photocurrent. The switchover of photoelectrochemical signal was realized by the adjustable distance between electron acceptor G-quadruplex/hemin and interface materials due to dissociation of the Cu/Mn double-doped cerium dioxide (CuMn@CeO2)/DNA caused by the addition of TB. Then, CuMn@CeO2 transferred onto visual zones triggered catalytic reactions under the existence of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine and hydrogen peroxide, making a variation in color recognized by the naked eye and providing visual prediction. Under optimized conditions, this bioassay protocol demonstrated wide linear ranges (0.0001-50 nM), high selectivity, stability, and reproducibility. More importantly, the proposed visual/photoelectrochemical transduction mechanism platform exhibits a lower background signal and more reliable detection results, which also offers an effective way for detecting other proteins and nucleic acids.

Abstract
This paper describes a novel synthetic approach for the conversion of zero-valent copper metal into a conductive two-dimensional layered metal-organic framework (MOF) based on 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene (HHTP) to form Cu3(HHTP)2. This process enables patterning of Cu3(HHTP)2 onto a variety of flexible and porous woven (cotton, silk, nylon, nylon/cotton blend, and polyester) and non-woven (weighing paper and filter paper) substrates with microscale spatial resolution. The method produces conductive textiles with sheet resistances of 0.1-10.1 MΩ/cm2, depending on the substrate, and uniform conformal coatings of MOFs on textile swatches with strong interfacial contact capable of withstanding chemical and physical stresses, such as detergent washes and abrasion. These conductive textiles enable simultaneous detection and detoxification of nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide, achieving part per million limits of detection in dry and humid conditions. The Cu3(HHTP)2 MOF also demonstrated filtration capabilities of H2S, with uptake capacity up to 4.6 mol/kgMOF. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and diffuse reflectance infrared spectroscopy show that the detection of NO and H2S with Cu3(HHTP)2 is accompanied by the transformation of these species to less toxic forms, such as nitrite and/or nitrate and copper sulfide and Sx species, respectively. These results pave the way for using conductive MOFs to construct extremely robust electronic textiles with multifunctional performance characteristics.

Abstract
The silver nanowire (Ag NW)/elastomer nanocomposite represents a prototypical form of a compliant conductor for flexible and stretchable electronic devices. The widespread implementations are currently hindered by the complicated procedures to effectively disperse Ag NWs into elastomer matrices. In this study, we report a facile and scalable coating process to create Ag NW nanocomposites on various flexible/stretchable substrates. As-synthesized Ag NWs from the high-yield polyol-reduction approach are homogeneously dispersed into a variety of dilute elastomer solutions, thereby enabling direct spray deposition into highly compliant conductors. The as-prepared nanocomposite exhibits excellent conductivity (∼11,000 S/cm) and high deformability to 100% strain. The stable electrical properties are largely retained under repetitive mechanical manipulations including stretching, bending, and folding. The patterned features of conductive nanocomposites are conveniently accessed using shadow masks or selective laser ablation. The practical suitability is demonstrated by the successful implementations of a stretchable sensing patch and a flexible light-emitting diode display.

Abstract
Paper has attracted significant attention recently as a microfluidic component and platform, especially in passive pumping devices due to its porous and uniform absorbing nature. Many investigations on 1D and 2D fluid flows were carried out. However, no experimental work has been reported on the three-dimensional effect in porous geometry to improve pumping characteristics in microchannels. Therefore, in this study, the fluid flow in 3D paper-based passive pumps was investigated in microchannels using cylindrical pumps. The effect of pump diameter, porosity, and programmability was investigated to achieve desired flow variations. The results indicated that the flow rate of water increased with an increase in the diameter and porosity of paper pumps. Maximum flow rates achieved for 14 mm diameter pumps of 0.5 and 0.7 porosities were 5.29 mm3/s (317.4 μl/min) and 6.97 mm3/s (418.2 μl/min), respectively. The total volume of fluid imbibition ranged between 266 and 567 μl for 8 and 14 mm diameter pumps, respectively. Moreover, 3D passive pumps can transport larger volumes of liquid with an improved flow rate, programmability, and control, in addition to being inexpensive and simple to design and fabricate. Most importantly, a single 3D paper pump showed an increasing, decreasing, and constant flow rate all in a single microchannel. With these benefits, the passive pumps can further improve the pumping characteristics of microfluidic platforms enabling a cost effective and programmable point-of-care diagnostic device.

Abstract
The development of eco-friendly, ultralow-power and easy-to-process electronics is facing dominant challenges in emerging off-the-grid applications, such as the Internet of Things (IoTs) and extreme environment explorations at the south/north pole, in the deep sea, and in outer space. Eco-friendly, biodegradable, lightweight, and flexible paper-based electronics can provide many new possibilities for next-generation devices and circuits. Here, enhancement-mode (E-mode, remaining off state at zero gate voltages) carbon nanotube (CNT) complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) thin-film transistors (TFTs) are built on paper substrates through a printing-based process. Benefitting from the CMOS circuit style and E-mode transistors, the fabricated CMOS inverters exhibit high voltage gains (more than 11) and noise margins (up to 75% 1/2 VDD at VDD of 0.4 V), and rail-to-rail operation down to a VDD as low as 0.2 V and record low power dissipation as low as 0.0124 pW μm-1 . Furthermore, the transistors and integrated circuits (ICs) show an excellent radiation tolerance of a total ionizing dose (TID) exceeding 2 Mrad with a high dose rate of 365 rad s-1 . The record power consumption and outstanding radiation tolerance behavior achieved in paper-based and easy-to-process CNT electronics are attractive for emerging energy-saving and environmentally friendly ICs in harsh environment (such as outer-space) applications.

Abstract
Ammonia (NH3) sensors proposed for the simultaneous exhalation diagnosis, environmental pollution monitoring, and industrial leakage alarm require high flexibility, selectivity, stability, humidity tolerance, and wide-concentration-range detection; however, technical challenges still remain. Herein, twistable and water-tolerant paper-based sensors integrated over surgical masks have been developed for NH3 detection at room temperature, via decorating specially designed ternary nanocomposites (ternary-NCs) on the commercial filter paper. The NCs consist of a multiwalled carbon nanotube framework with a polypyrrole nanolayer and are further loaded with Pt nanodots. Benefiting from the synergy effect of ternary components, the ternary-NCs exhibit an ultrasensitive response to 5 ppb-60 v/v% NH3 and present high selectivity confirmed by the theory calculations. Remarkably, the filter-paper-based sensors possess outstanding stability against twisting 0-1080°, along with excellent cuttability and foldability. Critically, such paper-based sensors can be integrated over surgical masks for simulated exhaled diagnosis and display superior water tolerance even being immersed in water for 24 h. Practically, the detecting accuracy of the filter-paper-based sensor toward the simulated exhaled NH3, environmental NH3 pollution, and industrial NH3 leakage is validated using ion chromatography.

Abstract
Fluorescent cellulose nanofibers (FCNFs), with a high yield, were prepared via one-pot hydrolysis and the grafting reaction of cellulose with thiazolipyridine carboxylic acid (TPCA). The hydrolysis and Fischer esterification of cellulose were conducted under microwave-hydrothermal conditions; meanwhile, TPCA formation was induced by the dehydration reaction between L-cysteine and citric acid. The effects of the reaction temperature and reaction time on the yield and performance of FCNF were investigated. The morphology and size, surface chemical property, crystal structure, thermostability, and fluorescent performance of FCNF were characterized. The results revealed that the yield of FCNF reached 73.2% under a microwave power of 500 W, reaction temperature of 110 °C, and reaction time of 5 h. The FCNF obtained presents a short rod-like morphology. The crystallinity of the FCNFs is 80%, and their thermal stability did not decline significantly. Additionally, the fluorescent performance of the FCNFs is excellent, which results in them having good sensitivity to chloride ions. The good fluorescent performance and significant responsiveness to chloride ions of FCNFs lead to them having broad prospects in bio-labeling, biosensing, information storage, chloride ion detection, among others.

Abstract
With the advent of the Internet of Things era, the connection between electronic devices and humans is getting closer and closer. New-concept electronic devices including e-skins, nanogenerators, brain-machine interfaces, and implantable medical devices, can work on or inside human bodies, calling for wearing comfort, super flexibility, biodegradability, and stability under complex deformations. However, conventional electronics based on metal and plastic substrates cannot effectively meet these new application requirements. Therefore, a series of advanced electronic devices based on flexible porous substrates (e.g., paper, fabric, electrospun nanofibers, wood, and elastic polymer sponge) is being developed to address these challenges by virtue of their superior biocompatibility, breathability, deformability, and robustness. The porous structure of these substrates can not only improve device performance but also enable new functions, but due to their wide variety, choosing the right porous substrate is crucial for preparing high-performance electronics for specific applications. Herein, the properties of different flexible porous substrates are summarized and their basic principles of design, manufacture, and use are highlighted. Subsequently, various functionalization methods of these porous substrates are briefly introduced and compared. Then, the latest advances in flexible porous substrate-based electronics are demonstrated. Finally, the remaining challenges and future directions are discussed.

Abstract
Microfluidic paper-based analytical devices (μPADs) have quickly been an excellent choice for point-of-care diagnostic platforms ever since they appeared. Because capillary force is the main driving force for the transport of analytes in μPADs, low spontaneous imbibition rates may limit the detection sensitivity. Therefore, quantitative understanding of internal spontaneous capillary flow progress is requisite for designing sensitive and accurate μPADs. In this work, experimental and numerical studies have been performed to investigate the capillary flow in a typical filter paper. We use light-transmitting imaging technology to study wetting saturation changes in the paper. Our experimental results show an obvious transition of a saturated wetting front into an unsaturated wetting front as the imbibition proceeds. We find that the single-phase Darcy model considerably overestimates the temporal wetting penetration depths. Alternatively, we use the Richards equation together with the two-phase flow material properties that are obtained from the image-based pore-network modeling of the filter paper. Moreover, we have considered a dynamic term in the capillary pressure due to strong wetting dynamics in spontaneous imbibition. As a result, the numerical predictions of spontaneous imbibition in the paper are significantly improved. Our studies provide insights into the development of a quantitative spontaneous imbibition model for μPADs applications.

Abstract
This review addresses the reconstruction of structural plant components (cellulose, lignin, and hemicelluloses) into materials displaying advanced optical properties. The strategies to isolate the main building blocks are discussed, and the effects of fibrillation, fibril alignment, densification, self-assembly, surface-patterning, and compositing are presented considering their role in engineering optical performance. Then, key elements that enable lignocellulosic to be translated into materials that present optical functionality, such as transparency, haze, reflectance, UV-blocking, luminescence, and structural colors, are described. Mapping the optical landscape that is accessible from lignocellulosics is shown as an essential step toward their utilization in smart devices. Advanced materials built from sustainable resources, including those obtained from industrial or agricultural side streams, demonstrate enormous promise in optoelectronics due to their potentially lower cost, while meeting or even exceeding current demands in performance. The requirements are summarized for the production and application of plant-based optically functional materials in different smart material applications and the review is concluded with a perspective about this active field of knowledge.

Abstract
Humidity sensors have been widely used for humidity monitoring in industry and agriculture fields. However, the rigid structure, nondegradability, and large dimension of traditional humidity sensors significantly restrict their applications in wearable fields. In this study, a flexible, strong, and eco-friendly bacterial cellulose-based humidity sensor (BPS) was fabricated using a two-step method, involving solvent evaporation-induced self-assembly and electrolyte permeation. Rapid evaporation of organic solvent induces the formation of nanopores of the bacterial cellulose (BC) surface and promotes structural densification. Furthermore, the successful embedding of potassium hydroxide into the sophisticated network of BC effectively enhanced the sensing performance of BPS. The BPS exhibits an excellent humidity sensing response of more than 103 within the relative humidity ranging from 36.4 to 93% and strong (66.4 MPa) and high flexibility properties owing to the ultrafine fiber network and abundant hydrophilic functional groups of BC. Besides being strong and thin, BPS is also highly flexible, biodegradable, and humidity-sensitive, making it a potential candidate in wearable electronics, human health monitoring, and noncontact switching.

Abstract
Paper electronics offer an environmentally sustainable option for flexible and wearable systems and perfectly fit the available printing technologies for high manufacturing efficiency. As the heart of energy-consuming devices, paper-based batteries are required to be compatible with printing processes with high fidelity. Herein, hydrogel reinforced cellulose paper (HCP) is designed to serve as the separator and solid electrolyte for paper batteries. The HCP can sustain higher strain than pristine papers and are biodegradable in natural environment within four weeks. Zinc-metal (Ni and Mn) batteries printed on the HCP present remarkable volumetric energy density of ≈26 mWh cm-3 , and also demonstrate the feature of cuttability and compatibility with flexible circuits and devices. As a result, self-powered electronic system could be constructed by integrating printed paper batteries with solar cells and light-emitting diodes. The result highlights the feasibility of hydrogel reinforced paper for ubiquitous flexible and eco-friendly electronics.

Abstract
Paper and textile are two ideal carriers in wearable and printed electronics because of their flexibility and low price. However, the porous and fibrous structures restrain their use in printed electronics because the capillary effect results in ink diffusion. Especially, conventional metal ink needs to be post-treated at high temperatures (>150 °C), which is not compatible with paper and textile. To address problems involved in ink diffusion and avoid high-temperature treatment, herein, a new strategy is proposed: screen-printing of high-viscosity catalytic inks combined with electroless deposition of metal layers on paper and textile substrates. The ink consists of Ag nanoparticles, a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) prepolymer, and a curing agent. PDMS as a viscoelastic matrix of catalysts plays key roles in limiting ink diffusion, enhancing interfacial adhesion between the substrate and metal layer, keeping metal flexible. As a demonstration, metal Cu and Ni are printed, respectively. The printed precision (diffusion < 1% on filter paper) can be controlled by adjusting the Ag content in the PDMS matrix; interfacial adhesion can be enhanced by ink coating on substrate microfibers and metal embedding into the PDMS matrix. In addition, Cu on paper shows extremely low sheet resistance (0.29 mΩ/□), and Cu on nylon shows outstanding foldability with a resistance of less than five times of initial resistance during 5000 folding cycles.

Abstract
The present scenario in the world largely demands affordable, fast, recyclable, and flexible electronic devices for bio sensing. Varieties of paper-based devices such as microfluidics paper electrodes, paper diodes, and paper-based transistors etc. have been developed and validated. Most of the fabrication techniques published so far have focused on economic, environment-friendly straightforward methods to develop paper-based field-effect transistors (PFET) sensors, additionally, explored their applications. The synthetic-free, mechanically flexible, biocompatible, and signal amplification capability render PFET based sensors for wearable device makers. Modified organic/inorganic PFETs identify target analytes based on the electrical signal and endow them as perfect transducers. In the field of PFET bio sensing technology, numerous challenges are needed to be discussed to proceed forward in biomedical and other analytical applications. Realizing biologically or chemically modified PFET having an exceptional signal to noise ratio, specificity, with rapid detection ability is challenging. This review recapitulates the fabrication techniques, performances of various PFET sensors, and summarizes the report by concluding remarks including the limitations of the existing PFET based sensors and the future holds in regards to the sustainable nature of PFET.

Abstract
In addition to renewability and abundance, nanocellulose materials have tremendous (and variable) properties for different applications, ranging from bulk applications, such as paper and packaging reinforcement, to emerging high added-value applications, such as substrates for optoelectronics. Lignocellulosic biomass from agricultural and industrial waste sources is readily available and shows great promise as an inexpensive and sustainable raw material for nanocellulose production. However, the understanding of the potential of using non-wood based biowaste sources is not established and systematic comparisons of versatile agricultural and industrial waste sources can elucidate this complex topic. Here we present an overview of the most studied and most promising sources from agro-industrial waste, the processes to convert them into nanocellulose, some of the established and emerging applications, and discuss the advancements that are still needed for large-scale production. Sugarcane bagasse and oil palm empty fruit bunch have been the most researched waste-based sources for nanocellulose production and demonstrate the most promise due to availability and access. Industrial sources seem to have advantages over agricultural sources in collectability and ease of access. This work gives insight on the potential and the challenges of nanocellulose production from waste sources and discusses how the criteria set for nanocellulose materials in different applications can be met, thus opening new routes for circular economy.

Abstract
The development of elastic electronic technology has promoted the application of triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) in flexible wearable electronics. However, most of the flexible electronics cannot achieve the requirements of being extremely stretchable, transparent, and highly conductive at the same time. Herein, we report a TENG constructed using a double-network polymer ionic conductor sodium alginate/zinc sulfate/poly acrylic-acrylamide (SA-Zn) hydrogel, which exhibited outstanding stretchability (>10,000%), high transparency (>95%), and good conductivity (0.34 S·m-1). The SA-Zn hydrogel TENG (SH-TENG) could harvest energy from typical human movements, such as bending, stretching, and twisting, which could light up 234 green commercial LEDs easily. Additionally, the SH-TENG can be used to prepare a self-powered smart training band sensor for monitoring arm stretching motion. This work may provide an innovative platform for accessing the next generation of sustainable wearable and sports monitoring electronics.
