A synchronous-twisting method to realize radial scalability in fibrous energy storage devices. SCIENCE ADVANCES 2024; 10:eado7826. [PMID: 39028805 PMCID: PMC11259157 DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.ado7826] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/20/2024] [Accepted: 06/18/2024] [Indexed: 07/21/2024]
Abstract
For wearable electronics, radial scalability is one of the key research areas for fibrous energy storage devices to be commercialized, but this field has been shelved for years due to the lack of effective methods and configuration arrangements. Here, the team presents a generalizable strategy to realize radial scalability by applying a synchronous-twisting method (STM) for synthesizing a coaxial-extensible configuration (CEC). As examples, aqueous fiber-shaped Zn-MnO2 batteries and MoS2-MnO2 supercapacitors with a diameter of ~500 μm and a length of 100 cm were made. Because of the radial scalability, uniform current distribution, and stable binding force in CEC, the devices not only have high energy densities (~316 Wh liter-1 for Zn-MnO2 batteries and ~107 Wh liter-1 for MoS2-MnO2 supercapacitors) but also maintain a stable operational state in textiles when external bending and tensile forces were applied. The fabricating method together with the radial scalability of the devices provides a reference for future fiber-shaped energy storage devices.

Abstract
Mono-dimensional fiber-based electronics can effectively address the growing demand for improved wearable electronic devices because of their exceptional flexibility and stretchability. For practical applications, functional fiber electronic devices need to be integrated into more powerful and versatile systems to execute complex tasks that cannot be completed by single-fiber devices. Existing techniques, such as printing and sintering, reduce the flexibility and cause low connection strength of fiber-based electronic devices because of the high curvature of the fiber. Here, we outline a twisting fabrication process for fiber electrodes, which can be woven into functional threads and integrated within textiles. The design of the twisted thread structure for fiber devices ensures stable interfacing and good flexibility, while the textile structure features easily accessible, interlaced points for efficient circuit connections. Electronic textiles can be customized to act as displays, health monitors and power sources. We detail three main fabrication sections, including the fabrication of the fiber electrodes, their twisting into electronic threads and their assembly into functional textile-based devices. The procedures require ~10 d and are easily reproducible by researchers with expertise in fabricating energy and electronic devices.

Abstract
Novel 2D material-based supercapacitors are promising candidates for energy applications due to their distinctive physical, chemical, and electrochemical properties. In this study, a dandelion-like structure material comprised of Sm2O3, Co3O4, and 2D reduced graphene oxide (rGO) on nickel foam (NF) was synthesised using a hydrothermal method followed by subsequent annealing treatment. This dandelion composite grows further through the tremella-like structure of Sm2O3 and Co3O4, which facilitates the diffusion of ions and prevents structural collapse during charging and discharging. A substantial number of active sites are generated during redox reactions by the unique surface morphology of the Sm2O3/Co3O4/rGO/NF composite (SCGN). The maximum specific capacity the SCGN material achieves is 3448 F g-1 for 1 A g-1 in a 6 mol L-1 KOH solution. Benefiting from its morphological structure, the prepared composite (SCGN) exhibits a high cyclability of 93.2% over 3000 charge-discharge cycles at 10 A g-1 and a coulombic efficiency of 97.4%. Additionally, the assembled SCGN//SCGN symmetric supercapacitors deliver a high energy density of 64 W h kg-1 with a power density of 300 W kg-1, which increases to an outstanding power density of 12 000 W kg-1 at 28.7 W h kg-1 and long cycle stability (80.9% capacitance retention after 30 000 cycles). These results suggest that the manufactured SCGN electrodes could be viable active electrode materials for electrochemical supercapacitors.

Abstract
Multimaterial integration, such as soft elastic and stiff components, exhibits rich deformation and functional behaviors to meet complex needs. Integrating multimaterials in the level of individual fiber is poised to maximize the functional design capacity of smart wearable electronic textiles, but remains unfulfilled. Here, this work continuously integrates stiff and soft elastic components into single fiber to fabricate encoded mechano-metafiber by programmable microfluidic sequence spinning (MSS). The sequences with programmable modulus feature the controllable localization of strain along metafiber length. The mechano-metafibers feature two essential nonlinear deformation modes, which are local strain amplification and retardation. This work extends the sequence-encoded metafiber into fiber networks to exhibit greatly enhanced strain amplification and retardation capability in cascades. Local strain engineering enables the design of highly sensitive strain sensors, stretchable fiber devices to protect brittle components and the fabrication of high-voltage supercapacitors as well as axial electroluminescent arrays. The approach allows the scalably design of multimaterial metafibers with programmable localized mechanical properties for woven metamaterials, smart textiles, and wearable electronics.

Abstract
Fiber supercapacitors are promising power supplies suitable for wearable electronics, but the internally insufficient cross-linking and random structure of fiber electrodes restrict their performance. This study describes how interfacial cross-linking and oriented structure can fabricate an MXene fiber with high flexibility and electrochemical performance. The continuous and highly oriented macroscopic fibers were constructed by 2D MXene sheets via a liquid-crystalline wet-spinning assembly. The oxyanion-enriched terminations of surface-modified MXene in situ could reinforce the interfacial cross-linking by electrostatic interactions while mediating the sheet-to-sheet lamellar structure within the fiber. The resultant MXene fiber exhibits high electrical conductivity (3545 S cm-1) and mechanical strength (205.5 MPa) and high pseudocapacitance charge storage capability up to 1570.5 F cm-3. Notably, the assembled fiber supercapacitor delivers an energy density of 77.6 mWh cm-3 at 401.9 mW cm-3, exceptional flexibility and stability exhibiting ∼99.5% capacitance retention under mechanical deformation, and can be integrated into commercial textiles to power microelectronic devices. This work provides insight into the fabrication of an advanced MXene fiber and the development of high-performance flexible fiber supercapacitors.

Abstract
The development of fiber materials has accompanied the evolution of human civilization for centuries. Recent advances in materials science and chemistry offered fibers new applications with various functions, including energy harvesting, energy storing, displaying, health monitoring and treating, and computing. The unique one-dimensional shape of fiber devices endows them advantages to work as human-interfaced electronics due to the small size, lightweight, flexibility, and feasibility for integration into large-scale textile systems. In this review, we first present a discussion of the basics of fiber materials and the design principles of fiber devices, followed by a comprehensive analysis on recently developed fiber devices. Finally, we provide the current challenges facing this field and give an outlook on future research directions. With novel fiber devices and new applications continuing to be discovered after two decades of research, we envision that new fiber devices could have an important impact on our life in the near future.

However, its inherent "volume effect" may easily turn tin-based electrode materials into powder and make them fall off in the cycle process, eventually leading to the reduction of the specific capacity, rate and cycle performance of the batteries. Considering the "volume effect" of tin, this study proposes to construct a carbon coating and three-dimensional graphene network to obtain a "double confinement" of metal tin, so as to improve the cycle and rate performance of the composite. This excellent construction can stabilize the tin and prevent its agglomeration during heat treatment and its pulverization during cycling, improving the electrochemical properties of tin-based composites. When the optimized composite material of C@Sn/NSGr-7.5 was used as an anode material in LIB, it maintained a specific capacity of about 667 mAh g-1 after 150 cycles at the current density of 0.1 A g-1 and exhibited a good cycle performance. It also displayed a good rate performance with a capability of 663 mAh g-1, 516 mAh g-1, 389 mAh g-1, 290 mAh g-1, 209 mAh g-1 and 141 mAh g-1 at 0.1 A g-1, 0.2 A g-1, 0.5 A g-1, 1 A g-1, 2 A g-1 and 5 A g-1, respectively. Furthermore, it delivered certain capacitance characteristics, which could improve the specific capacity of the battery. The above results showed that this is an effective method to obtain high-performance tin-based anode materials, which is of great significance for the development of new anode materials for LIBs.

Abstract
Developing sustainable options for energy storage in textiles is needed to power future wearable "Internet of Things" (IoT) electronics. This process must consider disruptive alternatives that address questions of sustainability, reuse, repair, or even a second life application. Herein, we pair stretch-broken carbon fiber yarns (SBCFYs), as current collectors, and an in situ regenerated cellulose-based ionic hydrogel (RCIH), as an electrolyte, to fabricate 1D fiber-shaped supercapacitors (FSCs). The areal specific capacitance reaches 433.02 μF·cm-2 at 5 μA·cm-2, while the specific energy density is 1.73 × 10-2 μWh·cm-2. The maximum achieved specific power density is 5.33 × 10-1 mW·cm-2 at 1 mA·cm-2. The 1D FSCs possess a long-life cycle and 92% capacitance retention after 10 000 consecutive voltammetry cycles, higher than similar ones using the reference PVA/H3PO4 gel electrolyte. Additionally, the feasibility and reproducibility of the produced devices were demonstrated by connecting three devices in series and parallel, showing a small variation of the current density in flat and bent positions. An environmentally responsible approach was implemented by recovering the active materials from the 1D FSCs and reusing or recycling them without compromising the electrochemical performance, thus ensuring a circular economy path.

Abstract
Nonmetallic ammonium ions that feature high safety, low molar mass, and small hydrated radius properties have shown great advantages in wearable aqueous supercapacitors. The construction of high-energy-density flexible ammonium-ion asymmetric supercapacitors (AASCs) is promising but still challenging due to the lack of high-capacitance pseudocapacitive anodes. Herein, freestanding core-shell heterostructures supported on carbon nanotube fibers were designed by anchoring MoS2 nanosheets on nanowires (MoS2@TiN/CNTF) as anodes for AASCs. With contributions of abundant active sites and conspicuous synergistic effects of multiple components for arrayed heterostructure engineering, the developed MoS2@TiN/CNTF anodes exhibit a specific capacitance of 1102.5 mF cm-2 at 2 mA cm-2. Theoretical calculations confirm the dramatic enhancement of the binding strength of ammonium ions on the MoS2 shell layer at the heterostructure, where a built-in electric field exists to accelerate the charge transfer. By utilizing a MnO2/CNTF cathode and NH4Cl/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as a gel electrolyte, quasi-solid-state fiber-shaped AASCs were successfully constructed, achieving a specific capacitance of 351.2 mF cm-2 and an energy density of 195.1 μWh cm-2, outperforming most recently reported fiber-shaped supercapacitors. This work provides a promising strategy to rationally design heterostructure engineering of MoS2@TiN nanoarrays toward advanced anodes for application in next-generation AASCs.

Abstract
Two-dimensional (2D) material-based hydrogels have been widely utilized as the ink for extrusion-based 3D printing in various electronics. However, the viscosity of the hydrogel ink is not high enough to maintain the self-supported structure without architectural deformation. It is also difficult to tune the microstructure of the printed devices using a low-viscosity hydrogel ink. Herein, by mimicking a phospholipid bilayer in a cytomembrane, the amphiphilic surfactant nonaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (C12E9) was incorporated into MXene hydrogel. The incorporation of C12E9 offers amphiphilicity to the MXene flakes and produces a 3D interlinked network of the MXene flakes. The 3D interlinked network offers a high-viscosity, homogenized flake distribution and enhanced printability to the ink. This ink facilitates the alignment of the MXene flakes during extrusion as well as the formation of the aligned micro- and sub-microsized porous structures, leading to the improved electrochemical performance of the printed microsupercapacitor. This study provides an example for the preparation of microelectronics with tunable microstructures.

Abstract
The exploration of high-energy density flexible electrodes through reasonable structural design is the key to realizing the overall portability and wearability of devices. Herein, a free-standing hybrid nanofabric with superior mechanical and electrochemical stabilities is reported for flexible lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The hybrid nanofabric is prepared by electrospinning and carbonization, during which the self-cyclization of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is hindered by its reaction with melamine, resulting in a highly disordered and expanded turbostratic carbon structure with nickel metal thiophosphate (NiPS3) nanosheets embedded in it. The coordinated movement of the electrospun-derived 1D nanofiber, the super toughness of the hard carbon structure and the interlayer slipping of NiPS3 endow the hybrid nanofabric with excellent tolerance to large-scale deformation. It can be folded three times in half and quickly return to its original state. When used as the anode for LIBs, no additional binder, conducting agent and current collector are needed. The free-standing anode not only shows excellent cycling (797.5 mA h g-1 after 1000 cycles at 1 A g-1) and rate (more than 56% capacity retained from 0.1 to 2 A g-1) performances, but also maintains its original electrochemical properties after being folded 300 times at 120°, 180° and 360°. This work provides a synergistic strategy to simultaneously enhance the energy density and flexibility of a fabric electrode, paving the way for the application of advanced flexible energy storage systems.

Abstract
Fiber-shaped supercapacitors are promising and attractive candidates as energy storage devices for flexible and wearable electric products. However, their low energy density (because their microstructure lacks homogeneity and they have few electroactive sites) restricts their development and application. In this study, well-distributed polyaniline/graphene composite fibers were successfully fabricated through a new strategy of self-assembly in solution combined with microfluidic techniques. The uniform assembly of polyaniline on graphene oxide sheets at the microscale in a water/N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone blended solvent was accompanied by the in situ reduction of graphene oxides to graphene nanosheets. The assembled fiber-shaped supercapacitors with gel-electrolyte exhibit excellent electrochemical performance, including a large specific areal capacitance of 541.2 mF cm-2, along with a high energy density of 61.9 µW h cm-2 at a power density of 294.1 µW cm-2. Additionally, they can power an electronic device and blue LED lights for several minutes. The enhanced electrochemical performance obtained is mainly attributed to the homogeneous architecture designed, with an increased number of electroactive sites and a synergistic effect between polyaniline and graphene sheets. This research provides an avenue for the synthesis of fiber-shaped electrochemically active electrodes and may promote the development of future wearable electronics.

Abstract
Wearable devices provide an alternative pathway to clinical diagnostics by exploiting various physical, chemical and biological sensors to mine physiological (biophysical and/or biochemical) information in real time (preferably, continuously) and in a non-invasive or minimally invasive manner. These sensors can be worn in the form of glasses, jewellery, face masks, wristwatches, fitness bands, tattoo-like devices, bandages or other patches, and textiles. Wearables such as smartwatches have already proved their capability for the early detection and monitoring of the progression and treatment of various diseases, such as COVID-19 and Parkinson disease, through biophysical signals. Next-generation wearable sensors that enable the multimodal and/or multiplexed measurement of physical parameters and biochemical markers in real time and continuously could be a transformative technology for diagnostics, allowing for high-resolution and time-resolved historical recording of the health status of an individual. In this Review, we examine the building blocks of such wearable sensors, including the substrate materials, sensing mechanisms, power modules and decision-making units, by reflecting on the recent developments in the materials, engineering and data science of these components. Finally, we synthesize current trends in the field to provide predictions for the future trajectory of wearable sensors.

Abstract
The seamless integration of emerging triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) technology with traditional wearable textile materials has given birth to the next-generation smart textiles, i.e., textile TENGs, which will play a vital role in the era of Internet of Things and artificial intelligences. However, low output power and inferior sensing ability have largely limited the development of textile TENGs. Among various approaches to improve the output and sensing performance, such as material modification, structural design, and environmental management, a 3D fabric structural scheme is a facile, efficient, controllable, and scalable strategy to increase the effective contact area for contact electrification of textile TENGs without cumbersome material processing and service area restrictions. Herein, the recent advances of the current reported textile TENGs with 3D fabric structures are comprehensively summarized and systematically analyzed in order to clarify their superiorities over 1D fiber and 2D fabric structures in terms of power output and pressure sensing. The forward-looking integration abilities of the 3D fabrics are also discussed at the end. It is believed that the overview and analysis of textile TENGs with distinctive 3D fabric structures will contribute to the development and realization of high-power output micro/nanowearable power sources and high-quality self-powered wearable sensors.

Abstract
For the challenging pursuit of high energy efficiency and mechanical tolerance in flexible solid-state Zn-air batteries (FSZABs), a hydrogel electrolyte (HE) consisting of dual-network crosslinked polyacrylic acid-Fe3+ -chitosan (PAA-Fe3+ -CS) polymer host infiltrated with a mixed aqueous electrolyte of NH4 Cl and ZnCl2 is developed. The absorbed near-neutral electrolyte renders the HE high ionic conductivity but low corrosiveness to both electrocatalysts and Zn metal anode (ZMA), ensuring more stable Zn-OH-O2 chemistry compared to that in strong alkaline electrolyte and thus endowing the assembled FSZABs with a landmark cycle life up to 120 h (5 mA cm-2 ). More intriguingly, the CS molecular beams introduced into the PAA hydrogel backbone will precipitate and fold subjecting to the Hofmeister effect when saturated with the near-neutral electrolyte, which can effectively enhance the interfacial adhesion strength of the HE on both air cathode and ZMA, achieving reliable and robust bonding between them. Thus, the FSZABs simultaneously exhibited a superior tolerance to repeated mechanical deformation during operation, allowing more than 360 continuous bending-recovery cycles without any decline in voltage efficiency. The ingenious chemistry and interface synergetic engineering on the crucial HEs provides a rational methodology to realize boosted electrochemical and mechanical durability of FSZABs forward for future practical implementation.

Abstract
In this work, Li1.12K0.05Mn0.57Ni0.24Nb0.02O2 (LMN-K/Nb) as a novel and high energy density cathode material is successfully synthesized and applied in lithium ion batteries. By combining interlayer exchange and elemental analysis, it can be confirmed that K+ and Nb5+ substitution is respectively in the lithium layer and transition metal (TM) layer since H+ replaces the cations that remain in the lithium layer rather than those in the TM layer. The effect of K+ and Nb5+ co-substitution on the kinetic behavior of insertion/extraction of Li+ is evaluated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT) and galvanostatic charge/discharge (GCD). LMN-K/Nb delivers an initial capacity of 145 mA h g-1 at 5C rate and 112 mA h g-1 at 10C rate, and maintains 83.1% after 400 cycles at 5C rate and 82.5% at 10C rate. By post-mortem analysis of long-term cycled LMN-K/Nb, K+ and Nb5+ are recognized to play a role in suppressing the irreversible side reactions in LLOs during cycling. This work demonstrates that dual elemental substitution into the lithium layer and TM layer is a feasible strategy to enhance the performance of LLO cathode materials.

Abstract
Stretchable energy storage devices are essential for developing stretchable electronics and have thus attracted extensive attention in a variety of fields including wearable devices and bioelectronics. Carbon materials, e.g., carbon nanotube and graphene, are widely investigated as electrode materials for energy storage devices due to their large specific surface areas and combined remarkable electrical and electrochemical properties. They can also be effectively composited with many other functional materials or designed into different microstructures for fabricating stretchable energy storage devices. This review summarizes recent advances toward the development of carbon-material-based stretchable energy storage devices. An overview of common carbon materials' fundamental properties and general strategies to enable the stretchability of carbon-material-based electrodes are presented. The performances of the as-fabricated stretchable energy storage devices including supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries, metal-air batteries, and other batteries are then carefully discussed. Challenges and perspectives in this emerging field are finally highlighted for future studies.

Abstract
Organic/inorganic hybrid fibers (OIHFs) are intriguing materials, possessing an intrinsic high specific surface area and flexibility coupled to unique anisotropic properties, diverse chemical compositions, and controllable hybrid architectures. During the last decade, advanced OIHFs with exceptional properties for electrochemical energy applications, including possessing interconnected networks, abundant active sites, and short ion diffusion length have emerged. Here, a comprehensive overview of the controllable architectures and electrochemical energy applications of OIHFs is presented. After a brief introduction, the controllable construction of OIHFs is described in detail through precise tailoring of the overall, interior, and interface structures. Additionally, several important electrochemical energy applications including rechargeable batteries (lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and lithium-sulfur batteries), supercapacitors (sandwich-shaped supercapacitors and fiber-shaped supercapacitors), and electrocatalysts (oxygen reduction reaction, oxygen evolution reaction, and hydrogen evolution reaction) are presented. The current state of the field and challenges are discussed, and a vision of the future directions to exploit OIHFs for electrochemical energy devices is provided.

Abstract
In this study, we report on the rational design and facile preparation of a cotton-reduced graphene oxide-silver nanoparticle (cotton-RGO-AgNP) hybrid fiber as an electrode for the building of a flexible fiber-shaped supercapacitor (FSSC). It was adequately characterized and found to possess a well-defined core−shell structure with cotton yarn as a core and a porous RGO-AgNP coating as a shell. Thanks to the unique morphological features and low electrical resistance (only 2.3 Ω·cm−1), it displayed attractive supercapacitive properties. When evaluated in a three-electrode setup, this FSSC electrode delivered the highest linear and volumetric specific capacitance of up to ca. 12.09 mF·cm−1 and ca. 9.67 F·cm−3 with a satisfactory rate capability as well as a decent cycling stability. On the other hand, an individual parallel symmetric FSSC cell constructed by this composite fiber fulfilled the largest linear and volumetric specific capacitance of ca. 1.67 mF·cm−1 and ca. 0.67 F·cm−3 and offered the maximum energy density, as high as ca. 93.1 μWh·cm−3, which outperformed a great number of graphene- and textile yarn-based FSSCs. Impressively, bending deformation brought about quite a limited effect on its electrochemical behaviors and almost no capacitance degradation took place during the consecutive charge/discharge test for over 10,000 cycles. Consequently, these remarkable performances suggest that the currently developed cotton-RGO-AgNP fiber has considerable application potential in flexible, portable and wearable electronics.

Abstract
AbstractTextile electronics embedded in clothing represent an exciting new frontier for modern healthcare and communication systems. Fundamental to the development of these textile electronics is the development of the fibers forming the cloths into electronic devices. An electronic fiber must undergo diverse scrutiny for its selection for a multifunctional textile, viz., from the material selection to the device architecture, from the wearability to mechanical stresses, and from the environmental compatibility to the end‐use management. Herein, the performance requirements of fiber‐shaped electronics are reviewed considering the characteristics of single electronic fibers and their assemblies in smart clothing. Broadly, this article includes i) processing strategies of electronic fibers with required properties from precursor to material, ii) the state‐of‐art of current fiber‐shaped electronics emphasizing light‐emitting devices, solar cells, sensors, nanogenerators, supercapacitors storage, and chromatic devices, iii) mechanisms involved in the operation of the above devices, iv) limitations of the current materials and device manufacturing techniques to achieve the target performance, and v) the knowledge gap that must be minimized prior to their deployment. Lessons learned from this review with regard to the challenges and prospects for developing fiber‐shaped electronic components are presented as directions for future research on wearable electronics.

Abstract
Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) possesses great potential for application as cathode materials for aqueous zinc-ion batteries due to abundant valences of vanadium. Unfortunately, the inferior electronic conductivity and confined interlayer spacing of pristine V2O5 are not able to support fast Zn2+ diffusion kinetics, leading to significant capacity degradation, the dissolution of active species, and unsatisfactory cycling life. Herein, Zn2+ (de)intercalation kinetics is improved by the design of in situ polyaniline (PANI)-intercalated V2O5. The intercalated PANI can not only improve the conductivity and structural stability of V2O5 but also efficiently expand its interlayer spacing (1.41 nm), offering more channels for facile Zn2+ diffusion. Benefiting from these virtues, a high specific capacity of 356 mA h g-1 at 0.1 A g-1 is achieved for the PANI-intercalated V2O5 (PVO) cathode as well as a superior cycling performance (96.3% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 5 A g-1) in an aqueous electrolyte. Furthermore, the Zn2+ storage in PVO is mainly dominated by the capacitive contribution. This work suggests that intercalating PANI in V2O5 may aid in the future development of advanced cathodes for other multivalent metal ion batteries.

Abstract
Fibers have played a critical role in the long history of human development. They are the basic building blocks of textiles. Synthetic fibers not only make clothes stronger and more durable, but are also customizable and cheaper. The growth of miniature and wearable electronics has promoted the development of smart and multifunctional fibers. Particularly, the incorporation of functional semiconductors and electroactive materials in fibers has opened up the field of fiber electronics. The energy supply system is the key branch for fiber electronics. Herein, after a brief introduction on the history of smart and functional fibers, we review the current state of advanced functional fibers for their application in energy conversion and storage, focusing on nanogenerators, solar cells, supercapacitors and batteries. Subsequently, the importance of the integration of fiber-shaped energy conversion and storage devices via smart structure design is discussed. Finally, the challenges and future direction in this field are highlighted. Through this review, we hope to inspire scientists with different research backgrounds to enter this multi-disciplinary field to promote its prosperity and development and usher in a truly new era of smart fibers.

Abstract
The development of smart negative electrode materials with high capacitance for the uses in supercapacitors remains challenging. Although several types of electrode materials with high capacitance in energy storage have been reported, carbon-based materials are the most reliable electrodes due to their high conductivity, high power density, and excellent stability. The most common complaint about general carbon materials is that these electrode materials can hardly ever be used as free-standing electrodes. Free-standing carbon-based electrodes are in high demand and are a passionate topic of energy storage research. Electrospun nanofibers are a potential candidate to fill this gap. However, the as-spun carbon nanofibers (ECNFs) have low capacitance and low energy density on their own. To overcome the limitations of pure CNFs, increasing surface area, heteroatom doping and metal doping have been chosen. In this review, we introduce the negative electrode materials that have been developed so far. Moreover, this review focuses on the advances of electrospun nanofiber-based negative electrode materials and their limitations. We put forth a future perspective on how these limitations can be overcome to meet the demands of next-generation smart devices.

Abstract
The transition metal sulfides/oxides have been considered as promising anode materials for lithium ion batteries due to their high theoretical capacities but have suffered limits from the unsatisfactory electronic conductivity and limited lifespan. Here, FeS micro-flowers are synthesized by hydrothermal treatment and are wared and grafted into layer-by-layer carbon nanotubes (CNT). Subsequently, FeS@Fe2O3/CNT composite films are obtained by annealing, during which the FeS micro-flowers are partially oxidized to core-shell FeS@Fe2O3micro-flowers. The FeS@Fe2O3/CNT composite electrodes exhibited high reversible capacity of 1722.4 mAh g-1(at a current density of 0.2 A g-1after 100 cycles) and excellent cycling stability (545.1 mAh g-1at a current density of 2 A g-1after 600 cycles) as self-supporting anodes. The prominent electrochemical performances are attributed to the unique reciprocal overlap architecture. This structure serves as a cushion to buffer large volume expansion during discharge/charge cycles, and ameliorates electrical conductivity. Due to their good specific capacity and cycle stability, these FeS@Fe2O3/CNT films have high potential application value to be used as high-performance anodes for lithium-ion, lithium sulfur and flexible packaging batteries.

Abstract
Fiber-shaped Zn batteries are promising candidates for wearable electronics owing to their high energy and low cost, but further studies are still required to address the issues related to detrimental Zn dendrite growth and limited low-temperature performances. Here, we report an antifreeze, long-life, and dendrite-free fiber-shaped Zn battery using both nanoporous Zn and polyaniline (PANI) electrodeposited on carbon nanofibers (CFs) as the cathode and anode, respectively. The fiber-shaped Zn anode achieves stable plating/stripping for 1000 mAh cm-2 accumulative capacity with low polarization (30 mV) at a current density of 2 mA cm-2. The dendrite-free Zn electrodes also enable the stable cycling of the fiber battery with 75.1% capacity retention after 1000 cycles. With an antifreeze agent added in the gel electrolyte, the fiber battery maintains excellent performance at temperatures as low as -30 °C. Lastly, by utilizing the doping/dedoping mechanism of Cl- in the PANI electrode, we achieve, for the first time, a Zn battery using human sweat as a harmless electrolyte. Our work provides a long-life and antifreeze fiber-shaped battery that is highly promising for future wearable energy storage devices.

Abstract
Supercapacitor fibers, with short charging times, long cycle lifespans, and high power densities, hold promise for powering flexible fabric-based electronics. To date, however, only short lengths of functioning fiber supercapacitors have been produced. The primary goal of this study is to introduce a supercapacitor fiber that addresses the remaining challenges of scalability, flexibility, cladding impermeability, and performance at length. This is achieved through a top-down fabrication method in which a macroscale preform is thermally drawn into a fully functional energy-storage fiber. The preform consists of five components: thermally reversible porous electrode and electrolyte gels; conductive polymer and copper microwire current collectors; and an encapsulating hermetic cladding. This process produces 100 m of continuous functional supercapacitor fiber, orders of magnitude longer than any previously reported. In addition to flexibility (5 mm radius of curvature), moisture resistance (100 washing cycles), and strength (68 MPa), these fibers have an energy density of 306 μWh cm-2 at 3.0 V and ≈100% capacitance retention over 13 000 cycles at 1.6 V. To demonstrate the utility of this fiber, it is machine-woven and used as filament for 3D printing.

Abstract
Zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are regarded as ideal candidates for next-generation energy storage equipment due to their high energy density, non-toxicity, high safety, and environmental friendliness. However, the slow oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) kinetics on the air cathode limit their efficiency and the development of highly efficient, low cost and stable bifunctional electrocatalysts is still challenging. Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) based bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts have been demonstrated as promising alternative catalysts due to the regular structure, tunable chemistry, high specific surface area, and simple and easy preparation of MOFs, and great progress has been made in this area. Herein, we summarize the latest research progress of MOF-based bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysts for ZABs, including pristine MOFs, derivatives of MOFs and MOF composites. The effects of the catalysts' composites, morphologies, specific surface areas and active sites on catalytic performances are specifically addressed to reveal the underlying mechanisms for different catalytic activity of MOF based catalysts. Finally, the main challenges and prospects for developing advanced MOF-based bifunctional electrocatalysts are proposed.

Abstract
In recent years, with the continuous depletion of traditional fossil energy, the
research of new energy storage materials has become one of the important ways to solve
the issue of energy depletion. Generally, in an energy storage system, lithium-ion battery
(LIB) has been widely applied in electronic intelligent devices and electrical vehicles
(EVs). In an energy conversion system, as the most promising green energy system, solar
cells have become a hot research field for scientists. Most recently, oxocarbon organic
conjugated compounds (OOCCs) have been widely used in LIBs and solar cells due to
their advantages such as abundant raw materials, environmental friendliness and high efficiency.
As in this paper, the research progress of LIBs and solar cells based on OOCCs is
reviewed, the synthesis strategies of these organic energy storage/conversion materials are
summarized and the future research direction of organic energy materials is also prospected.
