Abstract
1D fiber devices, known for their exceptional flexibility and seamless integration capabilities, often face trade-offs between desired wearable application characteristics and actual performance. In this study, a multilayer device composed of carbon nanotube (CNT), transition metal carbides/nitrides (MXenes), and cotton fibers, fabricated using a dry spinning method is presented, which significantly enhances both strain sensing and supercapacitor functionality. This core-shell fiber design achieves a record-high sensitivity (GF ≈ 4500) and maintains robust durability under various environmental conditions. Furthermore, the design approach markedly influences capacitance, correlating with the percentage of active material used. Through systematic optimization, the fiber device exhibited a capacitance 26-fold greater than that of a standard neat CNT fiber, emphasizing the crucial role of innovative design and high active material loading in improving device performance.

Abstract
The bottleneck in the preparation of supercapacitors is how to develop high-energy and high-power-density devices by using appropriate materials. Herein, a novel NixCo3-x-B/GO heterostructure material was synthesized through a simple ultrasonic and precipitation method. The prepared NixCo3-x-B/GO heterostructure exhibits significant improvements in supercapacitor performance than NixCo3-x-B. The presence of GO effectively suppresses the excessive growth and accumulation of NixCo3-x-B; therefore, Ni2.7Co0.3-B/GO exhibits the best performance as an electrode material for supercapacitors: a high specific capacitance (Cm, 1789.72 F g-1@1 A g-1) and excellent rate performance. The asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device of Ni2.7Co0.3-B/GO//AC exhibits a Cm of 76.6 F g-1@1 A g-1, a large voltage window of 1.6 V, and a high energy density (ED) of 98.0 Wh kg-1. Furthermore, a flexible, all-solid-state supercapacitor assembled with Ni2.7Co0.3-B/GO as both the positive and negative electrodes demonstrates a Cm of 46.9 F g-1@1 A g-1. Even after multiple folding and bending at various angles, the device maintains excellent performance, showcasing remarkable stability. With a power density (PD) of 479.7 W kg-1, the device achieves a high ED of 60.0 Wh kg-1. This work provides valuable insights into the synergistic effects in electrochemical processes based on heterostructure materials.

Hierarchical Spatial Confinement Unlocking the Storage Limit of MoS 2 for Flexible High-Energy Supercapacitors. ACS NANO 2024; 18:2149-2161.

Abstract
Molybdenum sulfide (MoS2) is a promising electrode material for supercapacitors; however, its limited Mo/S edge sites and intrinsic inert basal plane give rise to sluggish active electronic states, thus constraining its electrochemical performance. Here we propose a hierarchical confinement strategy to develop ethylene molecule (EG)-intercalated Co-doped sulfur-deficient MoS2 (Co-EG/SV-MoS2) for efficient and durable K-ion storage. Theoretical analyses suggest that the intercalation-confined EG and lattice-confined Co can enhance the interfacial K-ion storage capacity while reducing the K-ion diffusion barrier. Experimentally, the intercalated EG molecules with mildly reducing properties induced the creation of sulfur vacancies, expanded the interlayer spacing, regulated the 2H-1T phase transition, and strengthened the structural grafting between layers, thereby facilitating ion diffusion and ensuring structural durability. Moreover, the Co dopants occupying the initial Mo sites initiated charge transfer, thus activating the basal plane. Consequently, the optimized Co-EG/SV-MoS2 electrode exhibited a substantially improved electrochemical performance. Flexible supercapacitors assembled with Co-EG/SV-MoS2 delivered a notable areal energy density of 0.51 mW h cm-2 at 0.84 mW cm-2 with good flexibility. Furthermore, supercapacitor devices were integrated with a strain sensor to create a self-powered system capable of real-time detection of human joint motion.

Abstract
Conductive ink deposited on flexible substrates through simple methods such as dyeing or printing is one of the most promising approaches for scalable fabrication of wearable electronics. However, excessive chemical additives or a complex preparation process has limited the practical applications of conductive inks. Herein, a highly stable and antibacterial AgNPs/CNT/rGO (SACR) conductive ink with the only assistance of sustainable silk sericin (SS) is developed through a green one-step strategy. SS functions as not only the reductant of silver ions and GO by donating electrons but also the dispersant and stabilizer of CNTs through strong noncovalent interactions. The universality of SACR ink is demonstrated by depositing on various flexible substrates through handwriting, screen-printing, and dyeing techniques; meanwhile, the mechanical reliability between SACR ink and substrates is validated by peeling, bending, and twisting measurements. In addition, the synergistic effects of the multilevel hierarchical 0D/1D/2D structure and abundant interfacial interactions in SACR ink are advantageous to enhancing sensing performance. An SACR ink-based strain sensor and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) sensor are fabricated to detect physical and biochemical indicators, demonstrating the enormous potential of SACR ink in intelligent wearables for active health monitoring in early care.
