Abstract
Conductive hydrogels (CHs) have received significant attention for use in wearable devices because they retain their softness and flexibility while maintaining high conductivity. CHs are well suited for applications in skin-contact electronics and biomedical devices owing to their high biocompatibility and conformality. Although highly conductive hydrogels for smart wearable devices are extensively researched, a detailed summary of the outstanding results of CHs is required for a comprehensive understanding. In this review, the recent progress in the preparation and fabrication of CHs is summarized for smart wearable devices. Improvements in the mechanical, electrical, and functional properties of high-performance wearable devices are also discussed. Furthermore, recent examples of innovative and highly functional devices based on CHs that can be seamlessly integrated into daily lives are reviewed.

Abstract
With the rapid development of modern society, our demand for energy is increasing. And the extensive use of fossil energy has triggered a series of problems such as an energy crisis and environmental pollution. A moisture-enabled electric generator (MEG) is a new type of energy conversion method, which can directly convert the ubiquitous moisture in the air into electrical energy equipment. It has attracted great interest for its renewable and environmentally friendly qualities. At present, most MEGs still have low power density, strong dependence on high humidity, and high cost. Herein, we report the development of a high-efficiency MEG based on a lignocellulosic fiber frame with high-power-density, all-weather, and low-cost characteristics using a simple strategy that optimizes the charge transport channel and ion concentration difference. The MEG devices we manufactured can generate the open-circuit voltage of 0.73 V and the short-circuit current of 360 μA, and the voltage can still reach 0.6 V at less than 30% humidity. It is possible to drive commercial electronic devices such as light-emitting diodes, electronic displays, and electronic calculators by simply connecting several electric generators in series. Biomass-based moisture-enabled electric generation has a low cost, is easy to integrate on a large scale, and is green and pollution-free, providing clean energy for low-humidity or high-electricity-cost areas.

Abstract
Conducting polymer hydrogels are typically employed in all-gel supercapacitors; however, Poly[3,4-ethylene-dioxythiophene] (PEDOT)-based hydrogel supercapacitors still suffer from low capacitance because of the low packing density of PEDOT in the electrodes. Here, we demonstrate lignosulfonate sodium (LS) as an excellent template to synthesize various LS-PEDOT conductive nanofillers for high mass-loading LS-PEDOT/PAAM hydrogel electrodes. Then, the optimum LS-PEDOT/PAAM electrode was assembled with a redox-active LS/PAAM/Fe3+ hydrogel electrolyte to form sandwich-structured all-gel supercapacitors, which could deliver a high specific capacitance of 672.5 mF/cm2 and an energy efficiency of 60 μWh/cm2, which are three times higher than the 220 mF/cm2 and 19.5 μWh/cm2 of the device without Fe3+ at the same condition. Such a device shows excellent temperature tolerance from -30 to 100 °C. Besides, the LS-PEDOT/PAAM electrode has excellent photothermal conversion effects under simulated solar illumination. The sluggish electrochemical performance of the SC under low temperatures could be significantly boosted by ~50 % under simulated solar light. All of these findings demonstrate that the capacitance performance of the PEDOT-based hydrogel device is successfully improved not only at room temperature but also under subzero conditions.

Application of different materials including 0D, 1D, 2D, polymer composites, conductive oxides, and hybrid materials in FTCE fabrication, emphasizing their suitability in flexible devices are discussed. This review also delves into the design strategies of FTCEs, including microgrids, nanotroughs, nanomesh, nanowires network, and "kirigami"-inspired patterns, etc. The pros and cons associated with these materials and designs are also addressed appropriately. Considerations such as trade-offs between electrical conductivity and optical transparency or "figure of merit (FoM)," "strain engineering," "work function," and "haze" are also discussed briefly. Finally, this review outlines the challenges and opportunities in the current and future development of FTCEs for flexible electronics, including the improved trade-offs between optoelectronic parameters, novel materials development, mechanical stability, reproducibility, scalability, and durability enhancement, safety, biocompatibility, etc.

Abstract
Biochar derived from waste biomass has proven to be an encouraging novel electrode material in supercapacitors. In this work, luffa sponge-derived activated carbon with a special structure is produced through carbonization and KOH activation. The reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and manganese dioxide (MnO2) are in-situ synthesized on luffa-activated carbon (LAC) to improve the supercapacitive behavior. The structure and morphology of LAC, LAC-rGO and LAC-rGO-MnO2 are characterized by the employment of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), BET analysis, Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The electrochemical performance of electrodes is performed in two and three-electrode systems. In the asymmetrical two-electrode system, the LAC-rGO-MnO2//Co3O4-rGO device shows high specific capacitance (SC), high-rate capability and excellent cycle reversibly in a wide potential window of 0-1.8 V. The maximum specific capacitance (SC) of the asymmetric device is 586 F g-1 at a scan rate of 2 mV s-1. More importantly, the LAC-rGO-MnO2//Co3O4-rGO device exhibits a specific energy of 31.4 W h kg-1 at a specific power of 400 W kg-1. Overall, the synergistic effect between the ternary structures of microporous LAC, rGO sheets and MnO2 nanoparticles leads to the introduction of high-performance hierarchical supercapacitor electrodes.

Abstract
Single-piece flexible supercapacitors (FSCs) have light and ultrathin superiorities, thereby having great potential in portable/wearable electronics. However, all the available single-piece FSCs are fabricated by in situ growth routes, which are incompatible with large-scale technology. This work designs a carboxymethyl cellulose/phytic acid/polyaniline ink, incorporating electrode with electrolyte active compositions. Based on the electrode/electrolyte active ink, a double-face print technique on mixed cellulose ester and nylon membranes to fabricate single-piece membrane-FSCs, where both sides of membranes can be utilized well, is proposed. Consequently, one FSC is measured to be only ≈0.785 cm2 in area, ≈0.021 g in weight, and ≈200 µm in thickness, while it has exceptional areal and volumetric capacitances up to 757 mF cm-2 and 37.8 F cm-3 , respectively, based on the entire device. It also exhibits high flexibility with a capacitance retention of 98% after 2000 bend cycles from 0° to 180°. The state-of-the-art FSCs are expected to have exciting prospects in portable/wearable electronics, smart reading, and flexible displays. The preparation strategy renders the massive production of large-area and mini-size arrayed FSCs, and also the "do-it-yourself" or homemade preparation, which adds more interest and designability for general users.

Abstract
In response to serious ecological and environmental problems worldwide, a novel graphene oxide (GO) induction method for the in situ synthesis of GO/metal organic framework (MOF) composites (Ni-BTC@GO) for supercapacitors with excellent performance is presented in this study. For the synthesis of the composites, 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (BTC) is used as an organic ligand due to its economic advantages. The optimum amount of GO is determined by a comprehensive analysis of morphological characteristics and electrochemical tests. 3D Ni-BTC@GO composites show a similar spatial structure to that of Ni-BTC, revealing that Ni-BTC could provide an effective framework and avoid GO aggregation. The Ni-BTC@GO composites have a more stable electrolyte-electrode interface and an improved electron transfer route than pristine GO and Ni-BTC. The synergistic effects of GO dispersion and Ni-BTC framework on electrochemical behavior are determined, where Ni-BTC@GO 2 achieves the best performance in energy storage performance. Based on the results, the maximum specific capacitance is 1199 F/g at 1 A/g. Ni-BTC@GO 2 has an excellent cycling stability of 84.47% after 5000 cycles at 10 A/g. Moreover, the assembled asymmetric capacitor exhibits an energy density of 40.89 Wh/kg at 800 W/kg, and it still remains at 24.44 Wh/kg at 7998 W/kg. This material is expected to contribute to the design of excellent GO-based supercapacitor electrodes.

Abstract
Due to the energy requirements for various human activities, and the need for a substantial change in the energy matrix, it is important to research and design new materials that allow the availability of appropriate technologies. In this sense, together with proposals that advocate a reduction in the conversion, storage, and feeding of clean energies, such as fuel cells and electrochemical capacitors energy consumption, there is an approach that is based on the development of better applications for and batteries. An alternative to commonly used inorganic materials is conducting polymers (CP). Strategies based on the formation of composite materials and nanostructures allow outstanding performances in electrochemical energy storage devices such as those mentioned. Particularly, the nanostructuring of CP stands out because, in the last two decades, there has been an important evolution in the design of various types of nanostructures, with a strong focus on their synergistic combination with other types of materials. This bibliographic compilation reviews state of the art in this area, with a special focus on how nanostructured CP would contribute to the search for new materials for the development of energy storage devices, based mainly on the morphology they present and on their versatility to be combined with other materials, which allows notable improvements in aspects such as reduction in ionic diffusion trajectories and electronic transport, optimization of spaces for ion penetration, a greater number of electrochemically active sites and better stability in charge/discharge cycles.

Abstract
Gait abnormalities have been widely investigated in the diagnosis and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. However, it is still a great challenge to achieve a comfortable, convenient, sensitive and high-pressure resistant flexible gait detection sensor for real-time health monitoring. In this work, a polyaniline (PANI)@(polyacrylic acid (PAA)-polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)) (PANI@(PVA-PAA)) ternary network hydrogel with a uniaxially oriented porous featured structure was successfully prepared using a simple freeze-thaw method and in situ polymerization. The PANI@(PVA-PAA) hydrogel shows excellent compressive mechanical properties (423.44 kPa), favorable conductivity (2.02 S m-1) and remarkable durability (500 loading-unloading cycle), and can sensitively detect the effect of pressure with a fast response time (200 ms). The PANI@(PVA-PAA) hydrogel assembled into a flexible sensor can effectively identify the movement state of the shoulder, knee and even the sole of the plantar for gait detection. The uniaxially oriented porous structure enables the hydrogel-based sensor to have a high rate of change in the longitudinal direction and can effectively distinguish various gaits. The construction of a hydrogen bond between PANI and the PVA-PAA hydrogel ensures the uniform distribution of PANI in the hydrogel to form a ternary network structure, which improves the pressure resistance and conductivity of the PANI@(PVA-PAA) hydrogel. Thus, PANI@(PVA-PAA) hydrogel flexible sensor for gait detection can not only effectively monitor some serious diseases but also detect some unscientific exercise in people's daily life.

Abstract
The commonly used metal thin film or resin-based flexible composites cannot meet the requirement of cryogenic flexible conductive functional devices, which may be used in space exploration, biomedicine, and other science and technology fields facing a very low temperature environment, because of their poor fatigue and anti-bending properties at cryogenic temperature. In this work, a composite based on functionalized cotton fibers is proposed to achieve the application requirement of flexible electrical systems at cryogenic temperature. A conductive composite film with optimized strength and flexibility was obtained by controlling the size distribution of cotton fibers and adjusting the interaction force among the cotton fibers. The obtained composite film could endure over 10,000 times of bending at 77 K (-196 °C), with the resistance changing less than ±5%, indicating its excellent mechanical flexibility and electrical stability at cryogenic temperature. Finally, a demonstration was successfully conducted by applying the composite film as a flexible electrical connection to a robot arm, which worked at 77 K. This work might be a reference significance for the application of flexible conductors from room temperature to cryogenic temperature.

Abstract
Supercapacitors (SCs), also known as ultracapacitors, should be one of the most promising contenders for meeting the needs of human viable growth owing to their advantages: for example, excellent capacitance and rate efficiency, extended durability, and cheap materials price. Supercapacitor research on electrode materials is significant because it plays a vital part in the performance of SCs. Polyaniline (PANI) is an exceptional candidate for energy-storage applications owing to its tunable structure, multiple oxidation/reduction reactions, cheap price, environmental stability, and ease of handling. With their exceptional morphology, suitable functional linkers, metal sites, and high specific surface area, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are outstanding materials for electrodes fabrication in electrochemical energy storage systems. The combination of PANI and MOF (PANI/MOF composites) as electrode materials demonstrates additional benefits, which are worthy of exploration. The positive impacts of the two various electrode materials can improve the resultant electrochemical performances. Recently, these kinds of conducting polymers with MOFs composites are predicted to become the next-generation electrode materials for the development of efficient and well-organized SCs. The recent achievements in the use of PANI/MOFs-based electrode materials for supercapacitor applications are critically reviewed in this paper. Furthermore, we discuss the existing issues with PANI/MOF composites and their analogues in the field of supercapacitor electrodes in addition to potential future improvements.

Abstract
Flexible conductive polymer hydrogels are attracting attention as an electrode material. Electrochemical biosensors with conductive polymer hydrogels have been developed because they have some advantages such as biocompatibility, high conductivity, 3D nanostructure, solvated surface, and enlarged interface. Conductive polymer hydrogels bearing receptor molecules such as enzymes in its 3D nanostructure enable the detection of target analytes with high sensitivity. However, because such hydrogels are fragile, they cannot stand on their own and a supporting substrate is required to fabricate them. This means that the loss of mechanical toughness is detrimental for their application to flexible biosensors. In this study, we have proposed a free-standing conductive hydrogel electrode with no coating on a substrate, which is composed of polyaniline with phenyl boronic acid including polyvinyl alcohol, for potentiometric glucose sensing. In addition, its electrical responsivity to glucose has been confirmed by investigating its mechanical properties at various glucose concentrations, considering the hydrogel compositions. A free-standing conductive hydrogel electrode with no coating on a substrate is proposed for potentiometric glucose sensing.![]()

Abstract
Flexible electrochemical supercapacitors have shown great potential in the next-generation wearable and implantable energy-storage devices. Conductive polymer hydrogels usually possess unique porosity, high conductivity, and broadly tunable properties through molecular designs and structural regulations, thus holding tremendous promise as high-performance electrodes and electrolytes for flexible electrochemical supercapacitors. Numerous chemical and structural designs have provided unlimited opportunities to tune the properties of conductive polymer hydrogels to match the various practical demands. Various electrically and ionically conductive hydrogels have been developed to fabricate novel electrodes and electrolytes with satisfactory mechanical and electrochemical performance. This feature article focuses on the fabrication and applications of conductive polymer hydrogel composites and nanocomposites as respective electrodes and electrolytes for flexible electrochemical supercapacitors. First, we introduce the representative strategies to prepare electrically and ionically conductive polymer hydrogels. Second, conductive polymer hydrogel composites and nanocomposites as supercapacitor electrodes and electrolytes are presented and discussed. Finally, challenges and perspectives on conductive polymer hydrogel composites and nanocomposites for future flexible electrochemical supercapacitors are presented.

Abstract
To overcome the wearable sensor's defects and achieve the goal of robust mechanical properties, long-term adhesion, sensitive electrical conductivity, the multifunctional hydrogels were inspired by various mussels on the base of catechol and its analogues. In this review, we review the strategies for improving the mechanical strength, adhesion, conductivity and antibacterial properties of mussel-inspired hydrogels as bioelectronics. Double network structures, nanocomposites, supramolecular block polymers and other strategies were utilized for achieving tough hydrogels to prevent tensile fractures under high deformation. Many mussel-inspired chemistries were incorporated for constructing skin-attachable hydrogel strain sensors and some strategies for controlling the oxidation of catechol were employed to achieve long-term adhesion. In addition, electrolytes, conductive fillers, conductive polymers and their relevant hydrophilic modifications were introduced for fabricating the conductive hydrogel bioelectronics to enhance the conductivity properties. Finally, the challenges and outlooks in this promising field are featured from the perspective of materials chemistry.

Abstract
Owing to their extraordinary properties of π-conjugated polymers (π-CPs), such as light weight, structural versatility, ease of synthesis and environmentally friendly nature, they have attracted considerable attention as electrode material for metal-ion batteries (MIBs) and supercapacitors (SCPs). Recently, researchers have focused on developing nanostructured π-CPs and their composites with metal oxides and carbon-based materials to enhance the energy density and capacitive performance of MIBs and SCPs. Also, the researchers recently demonstrated various novel strategies to combine high electrical conductivity and high redox activity of different π-CPs. To reflect this fact, the present review investigates the current advancements in the synthesis of nanostructured π-CPs and their composites. Further, this review explores the recent development in different methods for the fabrication and design of π-CPs electrodes for MIBs and SCPs. In review, finally, the future prospects and challenges of π-CPs as an electrode materials for strategies for MIBs and SCPs are also presented.

Abstract
Environmentally friendly polymeric materials and derivative technologies play increasingly important roles in the sustainable development of our modern society. Conducting polymer hydrogels (CPHs) synergizing the advantageous characteristics of conventional hydrogels and conducting polymers are promising to satisfy the requirements of environmental sustainability. Beyond their use in energy and biomedical applications that require exceptional mechanical and electrical properties, CPHs are emerging as promising contaminant adsorbents owing to their porous network structure and regulable functional groups. Here, we review the currently available strategies for synthesizing CPHs, focusing primarily on multifunctional applications in energy storage/conversion, biomedical engineering and environmental remediation, and discuss future perspectives and challenges for CPHs in terms of their synthesis and applications. It is envisioned to stimulate new thinking and innovation in the development of next-generation sustainable materials.

Abstract
Printed electronics are expected to facilitate the widespread distributed wearable electronics in the era of the Internet of things. However, developing cheap and stable electrode inks remains a significant challenge in the printed electronics industry and academic community. Here, overcoming the weak hydrophilicity of polyaniline, a low-cost, easy-fabricating, and air-stable conducting polymer (CP) ink is devised through a facile assemble-disperse strategy delivering a high conductivity in the order of 10-2 S cm-1 along with a remarkable specific capacitance of 386.9 F g-1 at 0.5 A g-1 (dehydrated state). The additive-free CP ink is directly employed to print wearable micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) via the spray-coating method, which deliver a high areal capacitance (96.6 mF cm-2 ) and volumetric capacitance (26.0 F cm-3 ), outperforming most state-of-the-art CP-based supercapacitors. This work paves a new approach for achieving scalable MSCs, thus rendering a cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and pervasive energy solution for next-generation distributed electronics.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides as typical supercapacitor electrode materials can exhibit superior energy storage performance if their structures are well regulated. In this work, a simple one-step hydrothermal method is used to prepare diverse nickel-cobalt layered double hydroxides (NiCo-LDHs), in which the different contents of urea are used to regulate the different nanostructures of NiCo-LDHs. The results show that the decrease in urea content can effectively improve the dispersibility, adjust the thickness and optimize the internal pore structures of NiCo-LDHs, thereby enhancing their capacitance performance. When the content of urea is reduced from 0.03 to 0.0075 g under a fixed precursor materials mass ratio of nickel (0.06 g) to cobalt (0.02 g) of 3:1, the prepared sample NiCo-LDH-1 exhibits the thickness of 1.62 nm, and the clear thin-layer nanosheet structures and a large number of surface pores are formed, which is beneficial to the transmission of ions into the electrode material. After being prepared as a supercapacitor electrode, the NiCo-LDH-1 displays an ultra-high specific capacitance of 3982.5 F g-1 under the current density of 1 A g-1 and high capacitance retention above 93.6% after 1000 cycles of charging and discharging at a high current density of 10 A g-1. The excellent electrochemical performance of NiCo-LDH-1 is proved by assembling two-electrode asymmetric supercapacitor with carbon spheres, displaying the specific capacitance of 95 F g-1 at 1 A g-1 with the capacitance retention of 78% over 1000 cycles. The current work offers a facile way to control the nanostructure of NiCo-LDHs, confirms the important affection of urea on enhancing capacitive performance for supercapacitor electrode and provides the high possibility for the development of high-performance supercapacitors.

Abstract
Hydrogel-based flexible strain sensors for personal health monitoring and human-machine interaction have attracted wide interest among researchers. In this paper, hydrophobic association and nanocomposite conductive hydrogels were successfully prepared by introducing polyaniline coated silica (SiO2@PANI) core-shell particles into an acrylamide-lauryl methacrylate (P(AM/LMA)) copolymer matrix. The hydrophobic interaction between the SiO2@PANI core-shell particles and the hydrophobic LMA in the P(AM/LMA) chains induced the hydrogels with outstanding mechanical properties. Furthermore, the polyaniline on the SiO2 surface and the inorganic salt formed a conductive network, which synergistically enhanced the conductivity of the hydrogels. The obtained hydrogels integrate high tensile strength (1398 kPa), ultra-stretchability (>1000%), wonderful strain sensitivity (gauge factor = 10.407 at 100-1100% strain), quick response (300 ms), and excellent durability (>300 cycles) due to the hydrophobic association and nanocomposite effect. The prepared SiO2@PANI-P(AM/LMA) hydrogel shows high stress sensitivity to detect human movements and displays a broad application prospect in flexible strain-sensor field.

Abstract
AbstractSupercapacitors are increasingly used for energy conversion and storage systems in sustainable nanotechnologies. Graphite is a conventional electrode utilized in Li-ion-based batteries, yet its specific capacitance of 372 mA h g−1 is not adequate for supercapacitor applications. Interest in supercapacitors is due to their high-energy capacity, storage for a shorter period and longer lifetime. This review compares the following materials used to fabricate supercapacitors: spinel ferrites, e.g., MFe2O4, MMoO4 and MCo2O4 where M denotes a transition metal ion; perovskite oxides; transition metals sulfides; carbon materials; and conducting polymers. The application window of perovskite can be controlled by cations in sublattice sites. Cations increase the specific capacitance because cations possess large orbital valence electrons which grow the oxygen vacancies. Electrodes made of transition metal sulfides, e.g., ZnCo2S4, display a high specific capacitance of 1269 F g−1, which is four times higher than those of transition metals oxides, e.g., Zn–Co ferrite, of 296 F g−1. This is explained by the low charge-transfer resistance and the high ion diffusion rate of transition metals sulfides. Composites made of magnetic oxides or transition metal sulfides with conducting polymers or carbon materials have the highest capacitance activity and cyclic stability. This is attributed to oxygen and sulfur active sites which foster electrolyte penetration during cycling, and, in turn, create new active sites.

Abstract
In this work, the optimal conditions of synthesizing and purifying carbon nanotubes (CNTs) from ferrocene were selected at the first stage, where decomposition time, argon fluxes, precursor amounts, decomposition temperature (at 1023 K and 1123 K), and purification process (HNO3 + H2SO4 or HCl + H2O2), were modulated through chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and compared to commercial CNTs. The processing temperature at 1123 K and the treatment with HCl + H2O2 were key parameters influencing the purity, crystallinity, stability, and optical/electrical properties of bamboo-like morphology CNTs. Selected multiwalled CNTs (MWCNTs), from 1 to 20 wt%, were electropolymerized through in-situ polarization with conductive polymers (CPs), poly(aniline) (PANI) and poly(pyrrole) (PPy), for obtaining composites. In terms of structural stability and electrical properties, MWCNTs obtained by CVD were found to be better than commercial ones for producing CPs composites. The CNTs addition in both polymeric matrixes was of 6.5 wt%. In both systems, crystallinity degree, related to the alignment of PC chains on MWCNTs surface, was improved. Electrical conductivity, in terms of the carrier density and mobility, was adequately enhanced with CVD CNTs, which were even better than the evaluated commercial CNTs. The findings of this study demonstrate that synergistic effects among the hydrogen bonds, stability, and conductivity are better in PANI/MWCNTs than in PPy/MWCNTs composites, which open a promissory route to prepare materials for different technological applications.

Abstract
In this study, we present a novel strategy for enhancing polyaniline stability and thus obtaining an electrode material with practical application in supercapacitors. A promising (graphite foil/polyaniline/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) GF/PANI/PEDOT:PSS) electrode material was characterized and used in the construction of a symmetric supercapacitor that provides an outstanding high power density. For this purpose, the electropolymerization of PANI was carried out on a graphite foil and then a thin protective layer of PEDOT:PSS was deposited. The presence of the nanometer PEDOT:PSS layer made it possible to widen the electroactivity potential range of the electrode material. Moreover, the synergy between materials positively affected the amount of accumulated charge, and thus the thin PEDOT:PSS layer contributed to enhancing the specific capacity of the electrode material. The electrochemical performance of the GF/PANI/PEDOT:PSS electrode, as well as the symmetrical supercapacitor, was investigated by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge cycles in 1 M H2SO4 at room temperature. The fabricated electrode material shows a high specific capacitance (Csp) of 557.4 Fg-1 and areal capacitance (Careal) of 2600 mF·cm-2 in 1 M H2SO4 at a current density of 200 mA·cm-2 (~4 A·g-1). The supercapacitor performance was studied and the results show that a thin PEDOT:PSS layer enables cycling stability improvement of the device from 54% to 67% after 10,000 cycles, and provides a high specific capacity (159.8 F·g-1) and a maximum specific power (18,043 W·kg-1) for practical applications.

Abstract
Flexible supercapacitors are promising energy storage devices for emerging wearable electronics. However, due to the poor mechanical strength, complicated device manufacturing process, and unsatisfactory low-temperature tolerance, their overall performance for practical applications is hindered. Herein, we report a hydrogen bonding-reinforced, dual-crosslinked poly(vinyl alcohol), acrylic acid, and H2SO4 (PVA-AA-S) hydrogel electrolyte for all-in-one flexible supercapacitors. The PVA-AA-S hydrogel demonstrates excellent compressive/tensile properties and high ionic conductivity. It tolerates compressive stress of 0.53 MPa and is stretchable up to 500%. The hydrogel-based all-in-one supercapacitor shows promising electrochemical performance under various harsh conditions. The device energy density and power density reach up to 14.2 μWh cm-2 and 0.94 mW cm-2, respectively. Furthermore, it retains nearly 80% capacitance after being stored at -35 °C for 23 days. The excellent performance of the hydrogel electrolyte originates from its abundant strong hydrogen bonding between polymer chains and water molecules.

Abstract
The flexible and rechargeable energy storage device with excellent performance is highly desired due to the demands of portable and wearable devices. Herein, by integrating the bendability and stretchability of Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), pseudocapacitance of Polyaniline (PANI), and the charge transport ability of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), PVA/CNT/PANI flexible film was fabricated as supercapacitor electrodes with excellent electrochemical performance and flexibility. Full-solid supercapacitor is prepared based on PVA/H2SO4 gel electrolyte and as-prepared film electrodes. The device achieves an areal capacitance of 196.5 mF cm-2 with high cycling stability. The flexible properties of PVA, the conductivity of CNT, and the pseudo-capacitance of PANI contribute to the superior performance. Present work develops a facile and effective way for preparing flexible electrode materials. In present work, we fabricated PVA/CNT/PANI flexible film as supercapacitor electrodes with excellent electrochemical performance and flexibility.
