Abstract
Heterointerface engineering is an attractive approach to modulating electromagnetic (EM) parameters and EM wave absorption performance. However, the weak interfacial interactions and poor impedance matching would lead to unsatisfactory EM absorption performance due to the limitation of the construction materials and design strategies. Herein, multilevel heterointerface engineering is proposed by in situ growing nanosheet-like NiCoO2 and selenides with abundant interface structures on 3D-printed graphene aerogel (GA) skeletons, which strengthens the interfacial effect and improves the dielectric polarization loss. Benefiting from the features of substantially enhanced polarization loss and optimized impedance matching, the graphene/S-NiCoO2/selenides (G/S-NCO/Se) have achieved brilliant EM wave absorption performance with a strong reflection loss (RL) value of -60.7 dB and a broad effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 8 GHz, which is about six times greater than that of the graphene aerogel (-9.8 dB). Moreover, it is further confirmed by charge density differences and off-axis electron holography that a large amount of polarized charge accumulates at the interface, leading to significant polarization relaxation behaviors. This work provides a deep understanding of the effect of a multilevel heterogeneous interface on dielectric polarization loss, which injects a fresh and infinite vitality for designing high-efficiency EM wave absorbers.

Recent years have witnessed the rapid development of textile fiber-based flexible wearable devices. However, the pristine textile fibers still can't meet the high standards for practical flexible wearable devices, which calls for the development of some effective modification strategies. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the flexible wearable devices based on the textile fibers, putting special emphasis on the design and modifications of textile fibers. In addition, the applications of textile fibers in various fields and the critical role of textile fibers are also systematically discussed, which include the supercapacitors, sensors, triboelectric nanogenerators, thermoelectrics, and other self-powered electronic devices. Finally, the main challenges that should be overcome and some effective solutions are also manifested, which will guide the future development of more effective textile fiber-based flexible wearable devices.

Abstract
The development of wearable non-invasive glucose sensors provides a convenient technical means to monitor the glucose concentration of diabetes patients without discomfortability and risk of infection. Apart from enzymes as typical catalytic materials, the active catalytic materials of the glucose sensor are mainly composed of polymers, metals, alloys, metal compounds, and various metals that can undergo catalytic oxidation with glucose. Among them, metallic nanomaterials are the optimal materials applied in the field of wearable non-invasive glucose sensing due to good biocompatibility, large specific surface area, high catalytic activity, and strong adsorption capacity. This review summarizes the metallic nanomaterials used in wearable non-invasive glucose sensors including zero-dimensional (0D), one-dimensional (1D), and two-dimensional (2D) monometallic nanomaterials, bimetallic nanomaterials, metal oxide nanomaterials, etc. Besides, the applications of wearable non-invasive biosensors based on these metallic nanomaterials towards glucose detection are summarized in detail and the development trend of the wearable non-invasive glucose sensors based on metallic nanomaterials is also outlook.

Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15081856.

Abstract
Supercapacitors are widely used in various fields due to their high power density, fast charging and discharging speeds, and long service life. However, with the increasing demand for flexible electronics, integrated supercapacitors in devices are also facing more challenges, such as extensibility, bending stability, and operability. Despite many reports on stretchable supercapacitors, challenges still exist in their preparation process, which involves multiple steps. Therefore, we prepared stretchable conducting polymer electrodes by depositing thiophene and 3-methylthiophene on patterned 304 stainless steel (SS 304) through electropolymerization. The cycling stability of the prepared stretchable electrodes could be further improved by protecting them with poly(vinyl alcohol)/sulfuric acid (PVA/H2SO4) gel electrolyte. Specifically, the mechanical stability of the polythiophene (PTh) electrode was improved by 2.5%, and the stability of the poly(3-methylthiophene (P3MeT) electrode was improved by 7.0%. As a result, the assembled flexible supercapacitors maintained 93% of their stability even after 10,000 cycles of strain at 100%, which indicates potential applications in flexible electronics.

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
Exploring materials with high electrochemical activity is of keen interest for electrochemistry-controlled optical and energy storage devices. However, it remains a great challenge for transition metal oxides to meet this feature due to their low electron conductivity and insufficient reaction sites. Here, we propose a type of transition metal phosphate (NiHPO4·3H2O, NHP) by a facile and scalable electrodeposition method, which can achieve the capability of efficient ion accommodation and injection/extraction for electrochromic energy storage applications. Specifically, the NHP film with an ultra-high transmittance (approach to 100%) achieves a large optical modulation (90.8% at 500 nm), high coloration efficiency (75.4 cm2 C-1 at 500 nm), and a high specific capacity of 47.8 mAh g-1 at 0.4 A g-1. Furthermore, the transformation mechanism of NHP upon electrochemical reaction is systematically elucidated using in situ and ex situ techniques. Ultimately, a large-area electrochromic smart window with 100 cm2 is constructed based on the NHP electrode, displaying superior electrochromic energy storage performance in regulating natural light and storing electrical charges. Our findings may open up new strategies for developing advanced electrochromic energy storage materials and smart windows.

Abstract
In recent years, the development of biomedical monitoring systems, including respiration monitoring systems, has been accelerated. Wearable and implantable medical devices are becoming increasingly important in the diagnosis and management of disease and illness. Respiration can be monitored using a variety of biosensors and systems. Auto-charged sensors have a number of advantages, including low cost, ease of preparation, design flexibility, and a wide range of applications. It is possible to use the auto-charged sensors to directly convert mechanical energy from the airflow into electricity. The ability to monitor and diagnose one's own health is a major goal of auto-charged sensors and systems. Respiratory disease model output signals have not been thoroughly investigated and clearly understood. As a result, figuring out their exact interrelationship is a difficult and important research question. This review summarized recent developments in auto-charged respiratory sensors and systems in terms of their device principle, output property, detecting index, and so on. Researchers with an interest in auto-charged sensors can use the information presented here to better understand the difficulties and opportunities that lie ahead.

Prussian blue analogs (PBAs) are regarded as promising cathode materials for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs), but most of them suffer from an incompatibility between capacity and structural stability. Herein, an innovative disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (Na2EDTA)-assisted hydrothermal method is proposed to synthesize monoclinic Fe-substituted Ni-rich PBA (H-PBA) cathodes for Na-ion storage. The as-designed H-PBA cathode combines the merits of the low strain of a Ni-based PBA framework and the enhanced capacity of N-Fe3+/Fe2+ redox sites. It can achieve superior sodium-storage performance in terms of capacity, rate capability, and cycle stability. Moreover, ex situ measurements reveal that solid solution (2.0-3.0 V) and phase-transition (3.0-4.0 V) reactions occur during the charge/discharge process to allow almost 1.5 Na+ storage in the H-PBA lattice. Meanwhile, the H-PBA//NaTi2(PO4)3@C full cell also delivers remarkable electrochemical properties. Prospectively, this work would promote the practical application of SIBs in grid-scale electric energy storage.

Abstract
Wearable e-textiles have gained huge tractions due to their potential for non-invasive health monitoring. However, manufacturing of multifunctional wearable e-textiles remains challenging, due to poor performance, comfortability, scalability, and cost. Here, we report a fully printed, highly conductive, flexible, and machine-washable e-textiles platform that stores energy and monitor physiological conditions including bio-signals. The approach includes highly scalable printing of graphene-based inks on a rough and flexible textile substrate, followed by a fine encapsulation to produce highly conductive machine-washable e-textiles platform. The produced e-textiles are extremely flexible, conformal, and can detect activities of various body parts. The printed in-plane supercapacitor provides an aerial capacitance of ∼3.2 mFcm−2 (stability ∼10,000 cycles). We demonstrate such e-textiles to record brain activity (an electroencephalogram, EEG) and find comparable to conventional rigid electrodes. This could potentially lead to a multifunctional garment of graphene-based e-textiles that can act as flexible and wearable sensors powered by the energy stored in graphene-based textile supercapacitors. Graphene-based screen-printed conductive, flexible, and machine-washable e-textiles Able to capture movements demonstrating their potential as activity sensors In-plane all-solid-state printed textiles supercapacitor showing comparable performance Perform as EEG bio-signal electrode comparable to current rigid clinical electrodes

Abstract
Self-powered sensors have attracted great attention in the field of analysis owing to the necessity of power resources for the routine use of sensor devices. However, it is still challenging to construct wearable self-powered sensors in a simple and efficient way. Herein, wearable self-powered textile smart sensors based on advanced bifunctional polyaniline/reduced graphene oxide (PANI/RGO) films have been successfully developed for remote real-time detection of vitamin C. Specifically, a pH-assisted oil/water (O/W) self-assembly strategy was proposed to boost the O/W self-assembled PANI/RGO films via proton regulation. The as-obtained PANI/RGO films could be directly loaded on the textile substrate, with good capacitive and biosensing performance due to the multifunctionality of PANI and RGO, respectively. Moreover, both wearable power supply devices and wearable biosensors based on PANI/RGO films possess good electrochemical performance, which paves the way for the actual application of self-powered nutrition monitoring. Significantly, obvious signals have been obtained in the detection of vitamin C beverages, exhibiting promising application values in daily nutrition track necessities. Prospectively, this study would provide an effective and simple strategy for integrating wearable self-powered sensors, and the developed smart sensing system is an ideal choice for the portable detection of nutrition.

Abstract
Soft robotics have substantial benefits of safety, adaptability, and cost efficiency compared to conventional rigid robotics. Textiles have applications in soft robotics either as an auxiliary material to reinforce the conventional soft material or as an active soft material. Textiles of various types and configurations have been fabricated into key components of soft robotics in adaptable formats. Despite significant advancements, the efficiency and characteristics of textile actuators in practical applications remain unsatisfactory. To address these issues, novel structural and material designs as well as new textile technologies have been introduced. Herein, we aim at giving an insight into the current state of the art in textile technology for soft robotic manufacturing. We firstly discuss the fundamental actuation mechanisms for soft robotics. We then provide a critical review on the recently developed functional textiles as reinforcements, sensors, and actuators in soft robotics. Finally, the future trends and current strategies that can be employed in textile-based actuator manufacturing process have been explored to address the critical challenges in soft robotics.

Abstract
To meet the increasing demand for wearable sensing devices, flexible supercapacitors (SCs) as energy storage devices play significant roles in powering sensors/biosensors for healthcare monitoring. Because of its high conductivity and remarkable specific capacitance in SCs, molybdenum nitride (MoN) has been widely used. Herein, a flexible helical structure of MoN modified on nitrogen-doped carbon cloth (CC@CN@MoN) has been prepared by a simple nitride process, delivering an ultralong cycle life of 10,000 cycles and high areal capacitance of 467.6 mF cm-2 as SCs. Moreover, the as-fabricated flexible all-solid-state asymmetrical SCs (ASCs) of CC@CN@MoN//CC@NiCo2O4 demonstrated outstanding electrochemical behavior after 10,000 cycles and over 90% retention, and the value of areal capacitance could reach 90.8 mF cm-2 at 10 mA cm-2. Integrated with solar energy, ASCs could be used as a self-powered energy system for strain sensors in detecting human movement, and finger movements could be further real-time monitored remotely via a smartphone. Prospectively, wearable helical MoN solid-state SCs for self-powered strain smartsensors would inspire the development of structured materials in the application of energy storage, portable self-powering, and strain or chemical/biochemical smartsensors.

Abstract
Nowadays, there is increased demand for wearable sensors for sweat glucose monitoring in order to facilitate diabetes management in a patient-friendly and noninvasive manner. This work describes a wearable glucose monitoring device in the form of an electrochemical ring (e-ring) fabricated by 3D printing. The 3D-printed e-ring consists of three carbon-based plastic electrodes (fabricated using a conductive filament) integrated at the inner side of a ring-shaped flexible plastic holder (fabricated using a nonconductive filament). The e-ring is modified with an electrodeposited gold film and is coupled to a miniature potentiostat directly addressable by a smartphone, offering the possibility for nonenzymatic amperometric self-testing of glucose levels in human sweat. Optical and electrochemical techniques are employed for the characterization of the e-ring. The device is resistant to mechanical bending and enables noninvasive glucose detection in sweat in the physiologically relevant concentration range of 12.5-400 μmol L-1 without interference from common electroactive metabolites. The 3D-printed e-ring bridges the gap between the existing fabrication/sensing technologies and the desired operational features for glucose self-monitoring and may be employed as a paradigm of in-house fabricated wearable sensors.
