[PMID: 37537662 PMCID: PMC10885655 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202302172] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2023] [Revised: 06/29/2023] [Indexed: 08/05/2023]
Abstract
A supercapacitor is a potential electrochemical energy storage device with high-power density (PD) for driving flexible, smart, electronic devices. In particular, flexible supercapacitors (FSCs) have reliable mechanical and electrochemical properties and have become an important part of wearable, smart, electronic devices. It is noteworthy that the flexible electrode, electrolyte, separator and current collector all play key roles in overall FSCs. In this review, the unique mechanical properties, structural designs and fabrication methods of each flexible component are systematically classified, summarized and discussed based on the recent progress of FSCs. Further, the practical applications of FSCs are delineated, and the opportunities and challenges of FSCs in wearable technologies are proposed. The development of high-performance FSCs will greatly promote electricity storage toward more practical and widely varying fields. However, with the development of portable equipment, simple FSCs cannot satisfy the needs of integrated and intelligent flexible wearable devices for long durations. It is anticipated that the combining an FSC and a flexible power source such as flexible solar cells is an effective strategy to solve this problem. This review also includes some discussions of flexible self-powered devices.

Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) is gaining more and more popularity and it is establishing itself in all areas, from industry to everyday life. Given its pervasiveness and considering the problems that afflict today's world, that must be carefully monitored and addressed to guarantee a future for the new generations, the sustainability of technological solutions must be a focal point in the activities of researchers in the field. Many of these solutions are based on flexible, printed or wearable electronics. The choice of materials therefore becomes fundamental, just as it is crucial to provide the necessary power supply in a green way. In this paper we want to analyze the state of the art of flexible electronics for the IoT, paying particular attention to the issue of sustainability. Furthermore, considerations will be made on how the skills required for the designers of such flexible circuits, the features required to the new design tools and the characterization of electronic circuits are changing.

Abstract
Internet of Wearable Things (IoWT) will be a major breakthrough for remote medical monitoring. In this scenario, wearable biomarker sensors have been developing not only to diagnose point-of-care (POC) of diseases, but also to continuously manage them. On-body tracking of biomarkers in biofluids is regarded as a proper substitution of conventional biomarker sensors for dynamic sampling and analyzing due to their high sensitivity, conformability, and affordability, creating ever-rising the market demand for them. In a wireless body area network (WBAN), data is captured from all sensors on the body to a smartphone/laptop, and sent the sensed data to a cloud for storing, processing, and retrieving, and ultimately displayed the data on custom applications (Apps). Wearable IoT biomarker sensors are used for early diseases diagnosis and continuous monitoring in developing countries in which people hardly access to healthcare systems. In this review, we aim to highlight a wide range of wearable electrochemical biomarker sensors, accompanied by microfluidics for continuous sampling, which will pave the way toward developing wearable IoT biomarker sensors to track health status. The current challenges and future perspective in skin-conformal biomarker sensors will be discussing their potential applicability for IoWT in cloud-based telemedicine.

Abstract
Fatigue causes deleterious effects to physical and mental health of human being and may cause loss of lives. Therefore, the adverse effects of fatigue on individuals and the society are massive. With the ever-increasing frequency of overtraining among modern military and sports personnel, timely, portable and accurate fatigue diagnosis is essential to avoid fatigue-induced accidents. However, traditional detection methods require complex sample preparation and blood sampling processes, which cannot meet the timeliness and portability of fatigue diagnosis. With the development of flexible materials and biosensing technology, wearable biosensors have attracted increased attention to the researchers. Wearable biosensors collect biomarkers from noninvasive biofluids, such as sweat, saliva, and tears, followed by biosensing with the help of biosensing modules continuously and quantitatively. The detection signal can then be transmitted through wireless communication modules that constitute a method for real-time understanding of abnormality. Recent developments of wearable biosensors are focused on miniaturized wearable electrochemistry and optical biosensors for metabolites detection, of which, few have exhibited satisfactory results in medical diagnosis. However, detection performance limits the wide-range applicability of wearable fatigue diagnosis. In this article, the application of wearable biosensors in fatigue diagnosis has been discussed. In fact, exploration of the composition of different biofluids and their potential toward fatigue diagnosis have been discussed here for the very first time. Moreover, discussions regarding the current bottlenecks in wearable fatigue biosensors and the latest advancements in biochemical reaction and data communication modules have been incorporated herein. Finally, the main challenges and opportunities were discussed for wearable fatigue diagnosis in the future.

Abstract
Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT)-based hydrogel has been studied extensively due to its low cost, good chemical/mechanical stability, printability and high biocompatibility, but still suffers from its relatively low conductivity and complex synthesis method. In this work, we use vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) flat-nanofiber networked thin layer-structure to boost EDOT-intercalation reaction for rapidly producing fiber-reinforced conductive gel (FCG), achieving superior conductivity of 10 S cm-1 and extremely fast production time (10 s). The superior FCG formation mechanism is ascribed to the V2O5 flat-nanofiber networked thin layer-structure allowing EDOT rapidly penetrating to inter-layers and replacing inside water molecules for polymerization to high-conductive FCG. The FCG can be used to print various patterns and are further used to fabricate a flexible biomimetic hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sensor, delivering a high sensitivity of 2100 µA mM-1 cm-2, ranking the best among all flexible enzyme-free H2O2 sensors. More importantly, this flexible biomimetic H2O2 sensor is successfully applied to real-time detect living cells-secreted H2O2, demonstrating its application for in situ monitoring of small biomolecules released from living cells. This work offers a universal approach to synthesize high-conductive printable hydrogels by designing precursors meriting from both physics and chemistry, while holding great promise for mass-manufacturing inexpensive hydrogels in applications of sensing or wearable devices.

Abstract
Wearable film-based smart biosensors have been developed for real-time biomolecules detection. Particularly, interfacial co-assembly of reduced graphene oxide-prussian blue (PB-RGO) film through electrostatic interaction has been systematically studied by controllable pH values, achieving optimal PB-RGO nanofilms at oil/water (O/W) phase interface driven by minimization of interfacial free energy for wearable biosensors. As a result, as-prepared wearable biosensors of PB-RGO film could be easily woven into fabrics, exhibiting excellent glucose sensing performance in amperometric detection with a sensitivity of 27.78 µA mM-1 cm-2 and a detection limit of 7.94 μM, as well as impressive mechanical robustness of continuously undergoing thousands of bending or twist. Moreover, integrated wearable smartsensing system could realize remotely real-time detection of biomarkers in actual samples of beverages or human sweat via cellphones. Prospectively, interfacial co-assembly engineering driven by pH-induced electrostatic interaction would provide a simple and efficient approach for acquiring functional graphene composites films, and further fabricate wearable smartsensing devices in health monitoring fields.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to spread rapidly, and patients with diabetes are at risk of experiencing rapid progression and poor prognosis for appropriate treatment. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), which includes accurately tracking fluctuations in glucose levels without raising the risk of coronavirus exposure, becomes an important strategy for the self-management of diabetes during this pandemic, efficiently contributing to the diabetes care and the fight against COVID-19. Despite being less accurate than direct blood glucose monitoring, wearable noninvasive systems can encourage patient adherence by guaranteeing reliable results through high correlation between blood glucose levels and glucose concentrations in various other biofluids. This review highlights the trending technologies of glucose sensors during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic (2019-2020) that have been developed to make a significant contribution to effective management of diabetes and prevention of coronavirus spread, from off-body systems to wearable on-body CGM devices, including nanostructure and sensor performance in various biofluids. The advantages and disadvantages of various human biofluids for use in glucose sensors are also discussed. Furthermore, the challenges faced by wearable CGM sensors with respect to personalized healthcare during and after the pandemic are deliberated to emphasize the potential future directions of CGM devices for diabetes management.

Abstract
Nanostructured flexible electrodes with biological compatibility and intimate electrochemical coupling provide attractive solutions for various emerging bioelectronics and biosensor applications. Here, we develop all-inkjet-printed flexible nanobio-devices with excellent electrochemical coupling by employing amphiphilic biomaterial, an M13 phage, numerical simulation of single-drop formulation, and rational formulations of nanobio-ink. Inkjet-printed nanonetwork-structured electrodes of single-walled carbon nanotubes and M13 phage show efficient electrochemical coupling and hydrostability. Additive printing of the nanobio-inks also allows for systematic control of the physical and chemical properties of patterned electrodes and devices. All-inkjet-printed electrochemical field-effect transistors successfully exhibit pH-sensitive electrical current modulation. Moreover, all-inkjet-printed electrochemical biosensors fabricated via sequential inkjet-printing of the nanobio-ink, electrolytes, and enzyme solutions enable direct electrical coupling within the printed electrodes and detect glucose concentrations at as low as 20 μM. Glucose levels in sweat are successfully measured, and the change in sweat glucose levels is shown to be highly correlated with blood glucose levels. Synergistic combination of additive fabrication by inkjet-printing with directed assembly of nanostructured electrodes by functional biomaterials could provide an efficient means of developing bioelectronic devices for personalized medicine, digital healthcare, and emerging biomimetic devices.

Abstract
Wearable energy storage and flexible body biomolecule detection are two key factors for real-time monitoring of human health in a practical environment. It would be rather exciting if one wearable system could be used for carrying out both energy storage and biomolecule detection. Herein, carbon fiber-based NiCoO2 nanosheets coated with nitrogen-doped carbon (CF@NiCoO2@N-C) have been prepared via a simple electrochemical deposition method. Interestingly, being a dual-functional active material, CF@NiCoO2@N-C exhibits excellent behaviors as a supercapacitor and prominent electrocatalytic properties, which can be applied for enzyme-free biosensor. It exhibits outstanding energy storage, high capacitive stability (94% capacitive retention after 10,000 cycles), and pre-eminent flexible ability (95% capacitive retention after 10,000 bending cycles), as well as high sensitivity for enzyme-free glucose detection (592 μA mM-1). Moreover, the CF@NiCoO2@N-C-based wearable supercapacitors would be used as self-powered energy systems for enzyme-free biosensors. Integrating with bluetooth, we have successfully developed a wearable self-powered enzyme-free smartsensor, remotely controlled using a smartphone for health monitoring in a practical environment. From this prospective study, it was found that the design of wearable self-powered smartsensors, demonstrating energy storage and enzyme-free biosensing in one system, provides a promising device for detecting body biomolecules, which has the potential to be implemented in the artificial intelligent fields.
