Abstract
The organic-inorganic hybrid heterojunction is introduced for the first time to break through the performance bottleneck of BiVO4-based photodetectors. Through a facile solution process, a p-n heterojunction is established at the BiVO4/PEDOT:PSS interface, and the built-in electric field is designed to separate photogenerated charge carriers. The hybrid heterojunction outputs a significantly increased photocurrent, which is 24 000 times larger than that of the bare BiVO4 thin film. The photodetector shows a satisfactory performance with a responsivity (R) and specific detectivity (D*) of 107.8 mA/W and 4.13 × 1010 Jones at 482 nm illumination. In addition to the fast response speed (100 ms), the device also exhibits an impressive long-term stability with a negligible attenuation in photocurrent after more than 700 cycles. This work provides a novel strategy to suppress carrier recombination of BiVO4, and the coupling of metal oxides and organic semiconductors opens up a new avenue for fabricating high-performance photodetectors.

Abstract
Nanocellulose, as a nanoscale polymer material, has garnered significant attention worldwide due to its numerous advantages including excellent biocompatibility, thermal stability, non-toxicity, large specific surface area, and good hydrophilicity. Various methods can be employed for the preparation of nanocellulose. Traditional approaches such as mechanical, chemical, and biological methods possess their own distinct characteristics and limitations. However, with the growing deterioration of our living environment, several green and environmentally friendly preparation techniques have emerged. These novel approaches adopt eco-friendly technologies or employ green reagents to achieve environmental sustainability. Simultaneously, there is a current research focus on optimizing traditional nanocellulose preparation methods while addressing their inherent drawbacks. The combination of mechanical and chemical methods compensates for the limitations associated with using either method alone. Nanocellulose is widely used in wound dressings owing to its exceptional properties, which can accelerate the wound healing process and reduce patient discomfort. In this paper, the principle, advantages and disadvantages of each preparation method of nanocellulose and the research findings in recent years are introduced Moreover, this review provides an overview of the utilization of nanocellulose in wound dressing applications. Finally, the prospective trends in its development alongside corresponding preparation techniques are discussed.

Int J Biol Macromol 2023; 251:126430.

Abstract
As the requirements for wearable electronic devices continue to increase, the development of bendable and foldable supercapacitors is becoming critical. However, it is still challenging to design free-standing electrodes with flexibility and high electrical conductivity. Herein, using carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as the biological template and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) as the electroactive material, a flexible CMC/PEDOT:PSS membrane with a cross-linked mesh structure was firstly synthesized by a facile in-situ polymerization and vacuum filtration process. Subsequently, the CMC/PEDOT:PSS membrane was further treated with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to remove the excess PSS, thereby enhancing their electrochemical performance. The results showed that the best performing hybrid membrane had good mechanical properties (tensile strength of 48.1 MPa) and high electrical conductivity (45.1 S cm-1). The assembled asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) is capable of delivering an energy density of 181.9 μW h cm-2 at a power density of 750 μW cm-2 and maintains an initial capacitance of 93.4 % and a coulombic efficiency of 100 % after 10,000 GCD cycles, demonstrating an ultra-long cycle life. Moreover, good electrochemical properties can be retained even in the bent and folded state. Therefore, the hybrid membrane electrode with both flexibility and high electrochemical performance has great potential for application in wearable electronics.

Mesoporous cellulose nanofibers-interlaced PEDOT:PSS hybrids for chemiresistive ammonia detection. Mikrochim Acta 2022; 189:308.

Abstract
Chemiresistive ammonia (NH3) detection at room temperature is highly desired due to the unique merits of easy miniaturization, low cost, and minor energy consumption especially for portable and wearable electronics. In this regard, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) has sparked considerable attention due to the benign room-temperature conductivity and environmental stability, but it is undesirably impeded by limited sensitivity and sluggish reaction kinetics. To overcome these, we incorporated cellulose nanofibers (CNF) into PEDOT:PSS via a facile blending. The constituent-optimized composite sensor displayed sensitive (sensitivity of ∼7.46%/ppm in the range of 0.2-3 ppm), selective, and stable NH3 sensing at 25 °C at 55% RH, with higher response and less baseline drift than pure PEDOT:PSS counterparts. Additionally, the response/recovery times (4.9 s/5.2 s toward 1 ppm NH3) ranked the best cases of conducting polymers based NH3 sensors. The humidity involved more than twofold response enhancement indicated a huge potential in exhaled breath monitoring. Furthermore, we observed an excellent flexible NH3-sensing performance with bending-tolerant features. This work provides an alternative strategy for trace NH3 sensing with low power consumption, superfast reaction, and high sensitivity.

Stretchable and Conductive Cellulose/Conductive Polymer Composite Films for On-Skin Strain Sensors. MATERIALS 2022; 15:ma15145009.

Abstract
Conductive composite materials have attracted considerable interest of researchers for application in stretchable sensors for wearable health monitoring. In this study, highly stretchable and conductive composite films based on carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiopehe):poly (styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) (CMC-PEDOT:PSS) were fabricated. The composite films achieved excellent electrical and mechanical properties by optimizing the lab-synthesized PEDOT:PSS, dimethyl sulfoxide, and glycerol content in the CMC matrix. The optimized composite film exhibited a small increase of only 1.25-fold in relative resistance under 100% strain. The CMC-PEDOT:PSS composite film exhibited outstanding mechanical properties under cyclic tape attachment/detachment, bending, and stretching/releasing tests. The small changes in the relative resistance of the films under mechanical deformation indicated excellent electrical contacts between the conductive PEDOT:PSS in the CMC matrix, and strong bonding strength between CMC and PEDOT:PSS. We fabricated highly stretchable and conformable on-skin sensors based on conductive and stretchable CMC-PEDOT:PSS composite films, which can sensitively monitor subtle bio-signals and human motions such as respiratory humidity, drinking water, speaking, skin touching, skin wrinkling, and finger bending. Because of the outstanding electrical properties of the films, the on-skin sensors can operate with a low power consumption of only a few microwatts. Our approach paves the way for the realization of low-power-consumption stretchable electronics using highly stretchable CMC-PEDOT:PSS composite films.

Abstract
Bioelectricity drives several processes in the human body. The development of new materials that can deliver electrical stimuli is gaining increasing attention in the field of tissue engineering. In this work, novel, highly electrically conductive nanofibers made of poly [2,2′-m-(phenylene)-5,5′-bibenzimidazole] (PBI) have been manufactured by electrospinning and then coated with cross-linked poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with poly (styrene sulfonic acid) (PEDOT:PSS) by spin coating or dip coating. These scaffolds have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging and attenuated total reflectance Fourier-transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. The electrical conductivity was measured by the four-probe method at values of 28.3 S·m−1 for spin coated fibers and 147 S·m−1 for dip coated samples, which correspond, respectively, to an increase of about 105 and 106 times in relation to the electrical conductivity of PBI fibers. Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (hBM-MSCs) cultured on the produced scaffolds for one week showed high viability, typical morphology and proliferative capacity, as demonstrated by calcein fluorescence staining, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI)/Phalloidin staining and MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5 diphenyl tetrazolium bromide] assay. Therefore, all fiber samples demonstrated biocompatibility. Overall, our findings highlight the great potential of PEDOT:PSS-coated PBI electrospun scaffolds for a wide variety of biomedical applications, including their use as reliable in vitro models to study pathologies and the development of strategies for the regeneration of electroactive tissues or in the design of new electrodes for in vivo electrical stimulation protocols.

Abstract
The influence of multiple dimensional carbon nanomaterials, such as graphene quantum dots (GQD), multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), and graphene sheets (GNS) of the thermoelectric properties in poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly (styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT: PSS)-based hybrids have been investigated. PEDOT: PSS matrix was successfully used to prepare PEDOT: PSS/GQDs (PGQD), PEDOT: PSS/MWCNT (PCNT) and PEDOT: PSS/GNS (PGNS) composite films. According to structural characteristics, strongπ-πinteractions existed between carbon materials and PEDOT: PSS, and PEDOT: PSS layers with organized and arranged morphology were easier templated by GNS than GQD or MWCNT. It was found that besides energy filtering effect, hole-phonon interaction occurred with further addition of GNS and GQDs in PGNS and PGQD composite films. The optimal power factor (PF) of approximately 580 and 103μW m-1K-2at 363 K were acquired in PGNS composite films at 5 wt% GNS and PGQD films with 1 wt% GQD filling, respectively. Unlike PGNS and PGQD films, electrical conductivity of PCNT reduced upon the addition of MWCNT, while the Seebeck coefficient decreased firstly, and then increased and reached to the highest value at 10 wt% MWCNT. The optimal PF of 381.8μW m-1K-2at 363 K was obtained with weight fraction of 0.1 wt% in PCNT films.

Abstract
Sensors and biosensors play a key role as an analytical tool for the rapid, reliable, and early diagnosis of human diseases. Such devices can also be employed for monitoring environmental pollutants in air and water in an expedited way. More recently, nanomaterials have been proposed as an alternative in sensor fabrication to achieve gains in performance in terms of sensitivity, selectivity, and portability. In this direction, the use of cellulose nanomaterials (CNM), such as cellulose nanofibrils (CNF), cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), and bacterial cellulose (BC), has experienced rapid growth in the fabrication of varied types of sensors. The advantageous properties are related to the supramolecular structures that form the distinct CNM, their biocompatibility, and highly reactive functional groups that enable surface functionalization. The CNM can be applied as hydrogels and xerogels, thin films, nanopapers and other structures interesting for sensor design. Besides, CNM can be combined with other materials (e.g., nanoparticles, enzymes, carbon nanomaterials, etc.) and varied substrates to advanced sensors and biosensors fabrication. This review explores recent advances on CNM and composites applied in the fabrication of optical, electrical, electrochemical, and piezoelectric sensors for detecting analytes ranging from environmental pollutants to human physiological parameters. Emphasis is given to how cellulose nanomaterials can contribute to enhance the performance of varied sensors as well as expand novel sensing applications, which could not be easily achieved using standard materials. Finally, challenges and future trends on the use of cellulose-based materials in sensors and biosensors are also discussed.

Abstract
Cellulose nanopaper (CNP) has been considered as a promising material with great application potential in diverse fields. However, the hydrophilic nature of CNP significantly limits its practical application. In order to improve its water resistance, we demonstrate a facile approach to functionalize CNP by impregnating it with chitosan (CS), followed by in situ polymerization of polypyrrole (PPy). The results indicate that the obtained CNP/CS/PPy shows excellent water resistance with the wet tensile strength of up to 80 MPa, which is more than 10 times higher than that of the pure CNP. Intriguingly, new features (e.g., electrical conductivity, antibacterial activity, and so forth) are achieved at the same time. The functionalized CNP/CS/PPy shows a high conductivity of 6.5 S cm-1, which can be used for electromagnetic interference shielding applications with a high shielding performance of around 18 dB. In addition, the CNP/CS/PPy exhibits good antibacterial activity toward Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, with the bacterial reductions of 99.28 and 95.59%, respectively. Thus, this work provides a simple and versatile approach to functionalize CNP for achieving multifunctional properties.

Abstract
Due to excellent flexibility and hydrophilicity, cellulose fibers (CFs) have become one of the most potential substrate materials in flexible and wearable electronics. In previous work, we prepared cobalt oxyhydroxide with crystal defects modified polypyrrole (PPy)@CFs composites with good electrochemical performance. In this work, we redesigned the crystalline and nanoscale cobalt oxyhydroxide with zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-67 (ZIF-67) as precursor. The results showed that the PPy@ZIF-67 derived cobalt oxyhydroxide@CFs (PZCC) hybrid electrode materials possess far better capacitance of 696.65 F·g−1 than those of PPy@CFs (308.75 F·g−1) and previous PPy@cobalt oxyhydroxide@CFs (571.3 F·g−1) at a current density of 0.2 A·g−1. The PZCC delivers an excellent cyclic stability (capacitance retention of 92.56%). Moreover, the PZCC-supercapacitors (SCs) can provide an energy density of 45.51 mWh cm−3 at a power density of 174.67 mWh·cm−3, suggesting the potential application in energy storage area.

Abstract
The surface states, poor carrier life, and other native defects in GaN nanorods (NRs) limit their utilization in high-speed and large-gain ultraviolet (UV) photodetection applications. Making a hybrid structure is one of the finest strategies to overcome such impediments. In this work, a polypyrrole (Ppy)-poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)/GaN NRs hybrid structure is introduced for self-powered UV photodetection applications. This hybrid structure yields high photodetection performance, while pristine GaN NRs showed negligible photodetection properties. The ability of the photodetector is further boosted by functionalizing the hybrid structure with Ag nanowires (NWs). The Ag NWs-functionalized hybrid structure exhibited a responsivity of 3.1 × 103 (A/W), detectivity of 3.19 × 1014 Jones, and external quantum efficiency of 1.06 × 106 (%) under a UV illumination of λ = 382 nm. This high photoresponse is due to the huge photon absorption rising from the localized surface plasmonic effect of a Ag NWs network. Also, the Ag NWs significantly improved the rising and falling times, which were noted to be 0.20 and 0.21 s, respectively. The model band diagram was proposed with the assistance of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to explore the origin of the superior performance of the Ag NWs-decorated Ppy-PEDOT:PSS/GaN NRs photodetector. The proposed hybrid structure seems to be a promising candidate for the development of high-performance UV photodetectors.

Abstract
We investigate the three-dimensional (3D) structuring of cellulose nanofiber (CNF) foam-based ink using direct ink writing 3D printing and the transformation of CNF foam from an insulator to a conductor. The colloidal stability of a CNF foam is critical to producing a solid CNF foam which can be used as a template for the synthesis of conducting polymers. Liquid CNF foam ink is produced by simple stirring of CNF suspension with sodium dodecyl sulfate as an emulsifier. The shear thinning behavior of the liquid CNF foam ink enables printing through a needle. Flexible design of CNF foam structures is enabled by 3D printing using computer-aided design. Lightweight conductive CNF foams are prepared via in situ polymerization of polypyrrole on a solid CNF foam. The topological features of the resultant porous conductive CNF foams are observed, and their conductivity is investigated.

Abstract
In this paper, we report the fabrication of highly conductive poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)/cellulose nanofiber (CNF) nanocomposite paper with excellent flexibility through post-treatment with an organic solvent. The post-treated PEDOT:PSS/CNF porous nanocomposite papers showed a lower sulfur content, indicating the removal of residual PSS. The electrical conductivity of PEDOT:PSS/CNF porous nanocomposite paper was increased from 1.05 S/cm to 123.37 S/cm and 106.6 S/cm by post-treatment with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and ethylene glycol (EG), respectively. These values are outstanding in the development of electrically conductive CNF composites. Additionally, the highly conductive nanocomposite papers showed excellent bending stability during bending tests. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) showed a Faradaic redox reaction and non-Faradaic capacitance due to the redox activity of PEDOT:PSS and large surface area, respectively. Electrochemical energy storage ability was evaluated and results showed that capacitance improved after post-treatment. We believe that the highly conductive PEDOT:PSS/CNF porous nanocomposite papers with excellent flexibility described here are potential candidates for application in porous paper electrodes, flexible energy storage devices, and bioengineering sensors.

Abstract
Interfacial solar vapor generation is considered to be an efficient and eco-friendly technology for harvesting solar energy and providing freshwater. However, the efficient and long-term steady evaporation of seawater under 1 sun becomes a critical issue when it comes to practical applications. Based on this issue, a special double-layer structure, which contains a metal-organic-framework-derived hierarchical porous carbon membrane (HPCM) for solar absorption and a polystyrene sulfonate (PSS)@Cu3 (BTC)3 •3H2 O (HKUST-1)/single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) (PHS) membrane for water supply and salt blocking, is designed in this work. The converted heat is utilized efficiently in situ to drive the evaporation of water-trapped HPCM. The PHS membrane with PSS modified channels successfully prevents the deposition of salt. Due to the synergistic combination of the HPCM and PHS membranes, the device exhibits a remarkably high water evaporation rate of 1.38 kg m-2 h-1 and solar-vapor generation efficiency of 90.8% under 1 sun.

Electrically conductive cellulose nanopapers (EC-CNPaps) were fabricated by the droplet-coating of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on cellulose nanopapers (CNPaps), and the effects of the process factors on the electrical conductivity of EC-CNPaps were investigated. The type of CNPaps (made of softwood nanofibrillated cellulose or bacterial cellulose nanofibres), the drying methods of CNPaps (air drying, freeze drying, and oven drying), the applied method for the stabilisation and the concentration of MWCNT-water solutions, and the droplet-coating temperatures (≈23 °C and ≈60 °C) were the examined variable factors. Overall, the oven-dried nanofibrillated cellulose paper as a substrate, 0.1 wt. % of the gum Arabic stabilised MWCNT-water solution ink, and the droplet coating at 60 °C were introduced as the optimum conditions of the examined process factors in this study.

Abstract
Nanocellulose-based conductive materials have been widely used as supercapacitor electrodes. Herein, electrode materials with higher conductivity were prepared by in situ polymerization of polypyrrole (PPy) on cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) and vapor grown carbon fiber (VGCF) hybrid aerogels. With increase in VGCF content, the conductivities of CNF/VGCF aerogel films and CNF/VGCF/PPy aerogel films increased. The CNF/VGCF2/PPy aerogel films exhibited a maximum value of 11.25 S cm−1, which is beneficial for electron transfer and to reduce interior resistance. In addition, the capacitance of the electrode materials was improved because of synergistic effects between the double-layer capacitance of VGCF and pseudocapacitance of PPy in the CNF/VGCF/PPy aerogels. Therefore, the CNF/VGCF/PPy aerogel electrode showed capacitances of 8.61 F cm−2 at 1 mV s−1 (specific area capacitance) and 678.66 F g−1 at 1.875 mA cm−2 (specific gravimetric capacitance) and retained 91.38% of its initial capacitance after 2000 cycles. Furthermore, an all-solid-state supercapacitor fabricated by the above electrode materials exhibited maximum energy and power densities of 15.08 W h Kg−1, respectively. These electrochemical properties provide great potential for supercapacitors or other electronic devices with good electrochemical properties. The electrochemical performances of nanocellulose-based electrode materials were improved via building nano-carbon conducting networks.![]()

Abstract
Flexible poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate)/polypyrrole/paper (PEDOT:PSS/PPy/paper) thermoelectric (TE) nanocomposite films were prepared by a two-step method: first, PPy/paper nanocomposite films were prepared by an in situ chemical polymerization process, and second, PEDOT:PSS/PPy/paper TE composite films were fabricated by coating the as-prepared PPy/paper nanocomposite films using a dimethyl sulfoxide-doped PEDOT:PSS solution. Both the electrical conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient of the PEDOT:PSS/PPy/paper TE nanocomposite films were greatly enhanced from 0.06 S/cm to ~0.365 S/cm, and from 5.44 μV/K to ~16.0 μV/K at ~300 K, respectively, when compared to the PPy/paper TE nanocomposite films. The thermal conductivity of the PEDOT:PSS/PPy/paper composite film (0.1522 Wm−1K−1 at ~300 K) was, however, only slightly higher than that of the PPy/paper composite film (0.1142 Wm−1K−1 at ~300 K). As a result, the ZT value of the PEDOT:PSS/PPy/paper composite film (~1.85 × 10−5 at ~300 K) was significantly enhanced when compared to that of the PPy/paper composite film (~4.73 × 10−7 at ~300 K). The as-prepared nanocomposite films have great potential for application in flexible TE devices.
