Various soft physical sensors such as mechanical sensors, temperature sensors, and humidity sensors are the fundamental building blocks for soft electronics. While the fast growth and widespread utilization of electronic devices have elevated life quality, the consequential electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radiation pose potential threats to device precision and human health. Another substantial concern pertains to overheating issues that occur during prolonged operation. Therefore, the design of multifunctional soft electronics exhibiting excellent capabilities in sensing, EMI shielding, and thermal management is of paramount importance. Because of the prominent advantages in chemical stability, electrical and thermal conductivity, and easy functionalization, new carbon materials including carbon nanotubes, graphene and its derivatives, graphdiyne, and sustainable natural-biomass-derived carbon are particularly promising candidates for multifunctional soft electronics. This review summarizes the latest advancements in multifunctional soft electronics based on new carbon materials across a range of performance aspects, mainly focusing on the structure or composite design, and fabrication method on the physical signals monitoring, EMI shielding, and thermal management. Furthermore, the device integration strategies and corresponding intriguing applications are highlighted.

Abstract
Bone implants for different body parts require varying mechanical properties, dimensions, and biodegradability rates. Currently, it is still challenging to produce artificial bones with perfect compatibility with human bones. In this study, a silk-fabric reinforced silk material (SFS) composed of pure silk with exceptional biocompatibility, osteogenesis, and biodegradability is reported, and demonstrates its outstanding performance as a bone implant material. The SFS is fabricated using a simple hot-pressing technique, with degummed silk fabric as the reinforcement and silk fibroin as the matrix. The SFS as a self-reinforced composite, has exceptional mechanical properties due to the almost perfect interface between the matrix and reinforcement. More importantly, its mechanical properties, biodegradability rates, and density can be tailored by adjusting the reinforcement structure and the ratio of the reinforcement to the matrix to align with the requirements for bone implantation in different parts of the human body. Besides, the SFS can improve osteoblastic proliferation and increase osteogenic activity, which is not the case with clinically used titanium alloy artificial bone. Therefore, the SFS holds significant potential to replace conventional metal or ceramic implants in the field of medical fracture repair.

Abstract
Hollow and porous plasmonic nanomaterials have been demonstrated for highly sensitive biosensing applications due to their distinctive optical properties. Immunosensors, which rely on antibody-antigen interactions, are essential constituents of diverse biosensing platforms owing to their exceptional binding affinity and selectivity. The majority of immunosensors and conventional bioassays needs special storage conditions and cold chain systems for transportation. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a serine protease, is widely employed in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. In this study, we present the successful utilization of a biopolymer-preserved plasmonic biosensor with improved environmental stability for the sensitive detection of PSA. The preserved plasmonic biosensors exhibited sustained sensitivity in the detection of PSA, achieving a limit of detection of 10 pg mL-1. Furthermore, these biosensors exhibited remarkable stability at elevated temperatures for one week.

Abstract
Flexible sensors are becoming the focus of research because they are very vital for intelligent products, real-time data monitoring, and recording. The flat silk cocoon (FSC), as a special form of cocoon, has all the advantages of silk, which is an excellent biomass carbon-based material and a good choice for preparing flexible sensors. In this work, a flexible piezoresistive sensor was successfully prepared by encapsulating carbonized flat silk cocoons (CFSCs) using an elastic matrix polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). The sensing performance of the material is 0.01 kPa-1, and the monitoring range can reach 680.57 kPa. It is proved that the sensor can detect human motion and has excellent durability (>800 cycles). In addition, a sensor array for a keyboard based on CFSCs was explored. The sensor has a low production cost and a simple preparation process, and it is sustainable and environmentally friendly. Thus, it may have potential applications in wearable devices and human-computer interactions.

Abstract
Flexible moisture-electric generators (MEGs) capture chemical energy from atmospheric moisture for sustainable electricity, gaining attention in wearable electronics. However, challenges persist in the large-scale integration and miniaturization of MEGs for long-term, high-power output. Herein, a vertical heterogeneous phase-engineering MoS2 nanosheet structure based silk and cotton were rationally designed and successfully applied to construct wearable MEGs for moisture-energy conversion. The prepared METs exhibit ∼0.8 V open-circuit voltage, ∼0.27 mA/cm2 current density for >10 h, and >36.12 μW/cm2 peak output power density, 3 orders higher than current standards. And the large-scale device realizes a current output of 0.145 A. An internal phase gradient between the 2H semiconductor MoS2 in carbonized silks and 1T metallic MoS2 in cotton fibers enables a phase-engineering-based heterogeneous electric double layer functioning as an equivalent parallel circuit, leading to enhanced high-power output. Owing to their facile customization for seamless adaptation to the human body, we envision exciting possibilities for these wearable METs as integrated self-power sources, enabling real-time monitoring of physiological parameters in wearable electronics.

Abstract
The use of Bombyx mori silk fibroin in composite materials has been extensively explored in many studies, owing to its remarkable mechanical properties. Recently, the N-glycan-engineered P25 protein was utilized to improve the mechanical properties of silk. However, the mechanism by which N-glycan-engineered P25 protein enhances the mechanical properties of silk remains unclear. This study analyzed the interaction between the P25 protein and silkworm silk using quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics multiscale simulations and discovered stronger hydrogen bonding between the amorphous domain and the P25 protein. The results confirmed that glycoengineering of the mannose molecule in N-glycan in orders of three, five, and seven increased the hydrogen bonding of the amorphous structures. However, P25 has fewer binding interactions with the crystalline domain. Silk amino acids and mannose molecules were analyzed using QM simulations, and hydroxyl and charged amino acids in the amorphous domains were found to have relatively higher reactivity with mannose molecules in N-glycans than basic and aliphatic amino acids in the crystalline domain. This study demonstrates how the N-glycan-engineered P25 protein can improve the mechanical properties of silk fibroin and identifies a key factor for N-glycan-engineered proteins.

Abstract
Flexible biomimetic sensors have encountered a bottleneck of sensitivity and durability, as the sensors must directly work within complex body fluid with ultra-trace biomarkers. In this work, a wearable electrochemical sensor on a modified silk fibroin substrate is developed using gold nanoparticles hosted into N-doped porous carbonizated silk fibroin (AuNPs@CSF) as active materials. Taking advantage of the inherent biocompatibility and flexibility of CSF, and the high stability and enzyme-like catalytic activity of AuNPs, AuNPs@CSF-based sensor exhibits durable stability and superior sensitivity to monitor H2O2 released from cancer cell (4T1) and glucose in sweat. The detection limits for H2O2 and glucose are low to be 1.88 μM and 23 μM respectively, and the sensor can be applied in succession within 30 days at room temperature. Further, physical cross-linking of polyurethane (PU) with SF well matches with the skin tissue mechanically and provides a flexible, robust and stable electrode-tissue interface. AuNPs@CSF is applied successfully for wearable electrochemical monitoring of glucose in human sweat.The present AuNPs@CSF will possess a potential application in clinical diagnosing of H2O2- or glucose-related diseases in future.

Abstract
Natural polymers have been used in the biomedical fields for decades, mainly derived from animals and plants with high similarities with biomacromolecules in the human body. As an alkaline polysaccharide, chitosan (CS) attracts much attention in tissue regeneration and drug delivery with favorable biocompatibility, biodegradation, and antibacterial activity. However, to overcome its mechanical properties and degradation behavior drawbacks, a robust fibrous protein-silk fibroin (SF) was introduced to prepare the CS/SF composites. Not only can CS be combined with SF via the amide and hydrogen bond formation, but also their functions are complementary and tunable with the blending ratio. To further improve the performances of CS/SF composites, natural (e.g., hyaluronic acid and collagen) and synthetic biopolymers (e.g., polyvinyl alcohol and hexanone) were incorporated. Also, the CS/SF composites acted as slow-release carriers for inorganic non-metals (e.g., hydroxyapatite and graphene) and metal particles (e.g., silver and magnesium), which could enhance cell functions, facilitate tissue healing, and inhibit bacterial growth. This review presents the state-of-the-art and future perspectives of different biomaterials combined with CS/SF composites as sponges, hydrogels, membranes, particles, and coatings. Emphasis is devoted to the biological potentialities of these hybrid systems, which look rather promising toward a multitude of applications.

Abstract
The galvanostatic lithiation/sodiation voltage profiles of hard carbon anodes are simple, with a sloping drop followed by a plateau. However, a precise understanding of the corresponding redox sites and storage mechanisms is still elusive, which hinders further development in commercial applications. Here, a comprehensive comparison of the lithium- and sodium-ion storage behaviors of hard carbon is conducted, yielding the following key findings: 1) the sloping voltage section is presented by the lithium-ion intercalation in the graphitic lattices of hard carbons, whereas it mainly arises from the chemisorption of sodium ions on their inner surfaces constituting closed pores, even if the graphitic lattices are unoccupied; 2) the redox sites for the plateau capacities are the same as those for the closed pores regardless of the alkali ions; 3) the sodiation plateau capacities are mostly determined by the volume of the available closed pore, whereas the lithiation plateau capacities are primarily affected by the intercalation propensity; and 4) the intercalation preference and the plateau capacity have an inverse correlation. These findings from extensive characterizations and theoretical investigations provide a relatively clear elucidation of the electrochemical footprint of hard carbon anodes in relation to the redox mechanisms and storage sites for lithium and sodium ions, thereby providing a more rational design strategy for constructing better hard carbon anodes.

Abstract
Silk fibroin (SF) is a natural protein largely used in the textile industry with applications in bio-medicine, catalysis as well as in sensing materials. SF is a fiber material which is bio-compatible, biodegradable, and possesses high tensile strength. The incorporation of nanosized particles into SF allows the development of a variety of composites with tailored properties and functions. Silk and its composites are being explored for a wide range of sensing applications like strain, proximity, humidity, glucose, pH and hazardous/toxic gases. Most studies aim at improving the mechanical strength of SF by preparing hybrids with metal-based nanoparticles, polymers and 2D materials. Studies have been conducted by introducing semiconducting metal oxides into SF to tailor its properties like conductivity for use as a gas sensing material, where SF acts as a conductive path as well as a substrate for the incorporated nanoparticles. We have reviewed gas and humidity sensing properties of silk, silk with 0D (i.e., metal oxide), 2D (e.g., graphene, MXenes) composites. The nanostructured metal oxides are generally used in sensing applications, which use its semiconducting properties to show variation in the measured properties (e.g., resistivity, impedance) due to analyte gas adsorption on its surface. For example, vanadium oxides (i.e., V2O5) have been shown as candidates for sensing nitrogen containing gases and doped vanadium oxides for sensing CO gas. In this review article we provide latest and important results in the gas and humidity sensing of SF and its composites.

Abstract
Biomaterial scaffolding serves as an important strategy in skin tissue engineering. In this research, recombinant spider silk protein (RSSP) and poly(L-lactide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL) were blended in different ratios to fabricate nanofibrous membranes as potential skin regeneration scaffolds with an electro-spinning process. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), water contact angles measurement, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), tensile mechanical tests and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) were carried out to characterize the nanofibrous membranes. The results showed that the blending of RSSP greatly decreased the nanofibers' average diameter, enhanced the hydrophilicity, changed the microstructure and thermal properties, and could enable tailored mechanical properties of the nanofibrous membranes. Among the blended membranes, the PLCL/RSSP (75/25) membrane was chosen for further investigation on biocompatibility. The results of hemolysis assays and for proliferation of human foreskin fibroblast cells (hFFCs) confirmed the membranes potential use as skin-regeneration scaffolds. Subsequent culture of mouse embryonic fibroblast cells (NIH-3T3) demonstrated the feasibility of the blended membranes as a human epidermal growth factor (hEGF) delivery matrix. The PLCL/RSSP (75/25) membrane possessed good properties comparable to those of human skin with high biocompatibility and the ability of hEGF delivery. Further studies can be carried out on such membranes with chemical or genetic modifications to make better scaffolds for skin regeneration.

Abstract
Effective incorporation of conductive and energy storage materials into 3D porous textiles plays a pivotal role in developing and designing high-performance energy storage devices. Here, a fibril-type textile pseudocapacitor electrode with outstanding capacity, good rate capability, and excellent mechanical stability through controlled interfacial interaction-induced electroplating is reported. First, tetraoctylammonium bromide-stabilized copper sulfide nanoparticles (TOABr-CuS NPs) are uniformly assembled onto cotton textiles. This approach converts insulating textiles to conductive textiles preserving their intrinsically porous structure with an extremely large surface area. For the preparation of textile current collector with bulk metal-like electrical conductivity, Ni is additionally electroplated onto the CuS NP-assembled textiles (i.e., Ni-EPT). Furthermore, a pseudocapacitive NiCo-layered double hydroxide (LDH) layer is subsequently electroplated onto Ni-EPT for the cathode. The formed NiCo-LDH electroplated textiles (i.e., NiCo-EPT) exhibit a high areal capacitance of 12.2 F cm-2 (at 10 mA cm-2 ), good rate performance, and excellent cycling stability. Particularly, the areal capacity of NiCo-EPT can be further increased through their subsequent stacking. The 3-stack NiCo-EPT delivers an unprecedentedly high areal capacitance of 28.8 F cm-2 (at 30 mA cm-2 ), which outperforms those of textile-based pseudocapacitor electrodes reported to date.

Abstract
In nature, water is vital for maintaining homeostasis. Particularly, organisms (e.g., plant leaf, bird feather) exploit water fluidics for motions. Hydration-adaptive crystallization is the representative water-responsive actuation of biopolymers. This crystallization has inspired the development of intelligent human-robot interfaces. At the same time, it hinders the consistent adhesion of tissue adhesive. As hydration-adaptive crystallization is inevitable, the on-demand control of crystallization is desirable in the innovative biopolymeric biomedical systems. To this end, this study developed an amino acid-based technology to artificially up- or down-regulate the inevitable crystallization of silk fibroin. A case II diffusion model was constructed, and it revealed that the activity of polar amino acid is related to crystallization kinetics. Furthermore, the water dynamics study suggested that active amino acid stabilizes crystallization-triggering water molecules. As a proof-of-concept, we verified that a 30% increase in the activity of serine resulted in a 50% decrease in the crystallization rate. Furthermore, the active amino acid-based suppression of hydration-adaptive crystallization enabled the silk fibroin to keep its robust adhesion (approximately 160 kJ m-3) by reducing the water-induced loss of adhesive force. The proposed silk fibroin was demonstrated as a stable tissue adhesive applied on ex vivo porcine mandible tissue. This amino acid-based regulation of hydration-adaptive crystallization will pioneer next-generation biopolymer-based healthcare.

Abstract
Due to the improvements in living standards and the "throw away" culture of mankind, large amount of waste textiles is constantly generated. In particular, silk is an abundant high-grade textile material with characteristics of wear comfort, high profit, and low supply with high demand, but it transforms into waste when discarded. This paper reviews the current progress of recycling and reuse of waste silk from the aspects of energy, yarn and fabric, reinforcement of composites, silk fibroin, biological tissue engineering, filtration of air and water, and electrode. The modification, optimization and application of regenerated silk fibroin extracted from waste silk are promising to industrialization and sustainable development. Making waste silk functional and intelligently wearable are two ways of recycling waste silk with low cost and high return value in the near future. The recovery and utilization of waste silk provide a paradigm for valorization of other fiber-based waste such as wool, cotton, bast and synthetic fibers.

Abstract
AIM This review aims to explore the importance of silk hydrogel and its potential in tissue engineering (TE). BACKGROUND Tissue engineering is a procedure that incorporates cells into the scaffold materials with suitable growth factors to regenerate injured tissue. For tissue formation in TE, the scaffold material plays a key role. Different forms of silk fibroin (SF), such as films, mats, hydrogels, and sponges, can be easily manufactured when SF is disintegrated into an aqueous solution. High precision procedures such as micropatterning and bioprinting of SF-based scaffolds have been used for enhanced fabrication. REVIEW RESULTS In this narrative review, SF physicochemical and mechanical properties have been presented. We have also discussed SF fabrication techniques like electrospinning, spin coating, freeze-drying, and physiochemical cross-linking.

Abstract
Various polymers used in controlled release applications exhibit solution-based thermal responses. Unfortunately, very few characterization and imaging techniques permit resolution of individual polymers during their thermally-triggered phase transitions. Here, we demonstrate the use of temperature-ramp liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy (LCTEM) for real-time evaluation of the solution and interfacial behavior of elastinlike polypeptides (ELPs) and their self-assembled nanostructures over a temperature range incorporating their intrinsic lower critical solution temperatures (LCSTs). Individual polymers and supramolecular assemblies were discriminated dependent upon solubility states. The recombinant polymers were shown to adsorb to the silicon-nitride chip window from the buffered saline solution and desorb in a temperature-dependent manner. Silk-elastinlike protein block copolymers (SELPs) (composed of repeat peptide motifs of silk and elastin) differed from ELPs in thermal behavior. While both polymers were shown to cluster, only SELPs formed robust amyloid-like fibers upon heating.

Abstract
Water electrolysis is considered as one promising strategy for hydrogen production, and thus, preparing electrocatalysts of superior efficiency and low cost for a hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) in a wide pH range is of paramount importance. In this research, N-doped porous carbon nanofibers derived from silk fibroin by KCl chemical activation are successfully synthesized as the metal-free catalyst for the HER under both acidic and alkaline conditions. After chemical activation of KCl, hierarchical porous structures are formed. Besides, it is found that the concentration of KCl in the electrospun membrane will affect the maintenance of the fibrous morphology for the carbonized samples due to the destruction of β-sheets in silk fibroin induced by KCl. The specific surface area of the optimized sample, 4%-SPCNF, increased by nearly nine times compared with that without activation because of the hierarchical pores and large through pores between fibers. Meanwhile, the porosity increases from 59.87 to 80.28% due to the existence of through pores. Moreover, the 4%-SPCNF has remarkable stability and durability since the carbon substrate is resistant against the corrosion of the electrolyte. Our work provides insights into the design and engineering of silk fibroin-derived carbon nanofibers for metal-free catalysts of the HER under acidic and alkaline conditions.

Abstract
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive primary brain tumor. Surgery followed by chemotherapy and radiotherapy remains the standard treatment strategy for GBM patients. However, challenges still exist when surgery is difficult or impossible to remove the tumor completely. Herein, the design, fabrication and application of a heterogenous silk fibroin microneedle (SMN) patch is reported for circumventing the blood-brain barrier and releasing multiple drugs directly to the tumor site for drug combination treatment. The biocompatible and biodegradable SMN patch can dissolve slowly over time, allowing the sustained release of multiple drugs at different doses. Furthermore, it can be triggered remotely to induce rapid drug delivery at a designated stage after implantation. In the GBM mouse models, two clinically relevant chemotherapeutic agents (thrombin and temozolomide) and targeted drug (bevacizumab) are loaded into the SMN patch with individually controlled release profiles. The drugs are spatiotemporally and sequentially delivered for hemostasis, anti-angiogenesis, and apoptosis of tumor cells. Device application is non-toxic and results in decreased tumor volume and increased survival rate in mice. The SMN patch with on-demand multidrug delivery has potential applications for the combined administration of therapeutic drugs for the clinical treatment of brain tumors when other methods are insufficient.

Abstract
The present study aimed to prepare a kind of controlled-releasing insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1)/spider silk protein nanofibrous membrane using a electrostatic spinning method and evaluated its effect on the cell viability of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). Recombinant spidroin named as GMCDRSSP-IgF-1 was electro-spun into nanofibrous membrane which can be degraded by protease and be capable of sustained-release of IGF-1. The membrane can be degraded after being treated with thrombin. The release assay results showed that IGF-1 concentration could be maintained at 20 ng/ml for a long time with treatment of Tobacco Etch Virus (TEV) protease. The viability of EPCs on GMCDRSSP-IgF-1 nanofibrous membrane was significantly increased with the presence of TEV protease. The controlled and sustained release of IGF-1 from the nanofibrous membrane could promote the adhesion and viability of EPCs. In summary, the nanofibrous membrane that exhibits controlled degradation and sustained release of IGF-1 was prepared with electrostatic spinning from genetically modified recombinant spider silk protein. The nanofibrous membrane exhibited good blood compatibility and cytocompatibility. With the presence of TEV protease, the sustained-release of IGF-1 significantly promoted the adhesion and viability of EPCs. The new nanofibrous membrane can be potentially used as a scaffold for EPCs culture in vitro and future in vivo studies.

Abstract
Developing electrocatalysts with high efficiency and long-term stability for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is significant to massively generate hydrogen energy by water splitting. In this work, cobalt and tungsten dual metal-loaded N-doped porous carbon electrocatalysts derived from silk fibroin were successfully prepared through facile carbonization and chemical activation by KCl and applied as efficient electrocatalysts for HER and OER. After chemical activation, the resulting catalysts present a unique hierarchical porous structure with micro-, meso-, and macropores, which is able to expose more implantation sites for catalytic active metals and will in turn promote the efficient diffusion of the electrolyte. The catalyst under the optimized condition (CoW@ACSF) has a specific area of 326.01 m2 g-1. The overpotential at a current density of 10 mA cm -2 of CoW@ACSF is 138.42 ± 10.39 mV toward HER and 492.05 ± 19.04 mV toward OER. Furthermore, the overpotential only increases 101.2 mV toward HER and 66.00 mV toward OER after the long-term stability test of chronopotentiometric test over 10 h, which confirms the excellent stability of the CoW@ACSF, owing to its unique carbon shell structure. This work gives an insight into the design and engineering of silk fibroin-derived carbon materials for electrocatalysis toward HER and OER.

Abstract
Animal silk-derived carbon materials are of interest to various applications, such as smart cloth and wearable sensors. However, it remains a challenge to massively transform silks into continuous carbon fibers. In this work, carbon fibers based on two kinds of animal silks, i.e., Bombyx mori (B. mori) silk and Antheraea pernyi (A. pernyi) silk, are prepared by using a large-scale-capable one-step heating process without any additives or activation process. These carbon fibers and yarns are electroconductive and mechanically robust. To expand the application of these carbonized silks, we further weaved them with cotton yarns to obtain composite fabrics with different textures and evaluated their performance for solar steam evaporation. Our results confirmed that the advantages of these composite fabrics in light absorption, large surface area, and hierarchical liquid transport channels allowed them to be used as a solar steam generation for desalination and sewage treatment. In addition, we reported that these conductive carbon fibers could be assembled into fluidic nanogenerators to generate electricity from the water flow. This work is expected to guide a large-scale preparation and use of animal silk-derived amorphous carbon fibers.

Abstract
With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the emergence of 5G, traditional silicon-based electronics no longer fully meet market demands such as nonplanar application scenarios due to mechanical mismatch. This provides unprecedented opportunities for flexible electronics that bypass the physical rigidity through the introduction of flexible materials. In recent decades, biological materials with outstanding biocompatibility and biodegradability, which are considered some of the most promising candidates for next-generation flexible electronics, have received increasing attention, e.g., silk fibroin, cellulose, pectin, chitosan, and melanin. Among them, silk fibroin presents greater superiorities in biocompatibility and biodegradability, and moreover, it also possesses a variety of attractive properties, such as adjustable water solubility, remarkable optical transmittance, high mechanical robustness, light weight, and ease of processing, which are partially or even completely lacking in other biological materials. Therefore, silk fibroin has been widely used as fundamental components for the construction of biocompatible flexible electronics, particularly for wearable and implantable devices. Furthermore, in recent years, more attention has been paid to the investigation of the functional characteristics of silk fibroin, such as the dielectric properties, piezoelectric properties, strong ability to lose electrons, and sensitivity to environmental variables. Here, this paper not only reviews the preparation technologies for various forms of silk fibroin and the recent progress in the use of silk fibroin as a fundamental material but also focuses on the recent advanced works in which silk fibroin serves as functional components. Additionally, the challenges and future development of silk fibroin-based flexible electronics are summarized. (1) This review focuses on silk fibroin serving as active functional components to construct flexible electronics. (2) Recent representative reports on flexible electronic devices that applied silk fibroin as fundamental supporting components are summarized. (3) This review summarizes the current typical silk fibroin-based materials and the corresponding advanced preparation technologies. (4) The current challenges and future development of silk fibroin-based flexible electronic devices are analyzed.

Abstract
The production of rechargeable batteries is rapidly expanding, and there are going to be new challenges in the near future about how the potential environmental impact caused by the disposal of the large volume of the used batteries can be minimized. Herein, a novel strategy is proposed to address these concerns by applying biodegradable device technology. An eco-friendly and biodegradable sodium-ion secondary battery (SIB) is developed through extensive material screening followed by the synthesis of biodegradable electrodes and their seamless assembly with an unconventional biodegradable separator, electrolyte, and package. Each battery component decomposes in nature into non-toxic compounds or elements via hydrolysis and/or fungal degradation, with all of the biodegradation products naturally abundant and eco-friendly. Detailed biodegradation mechanisms and toxicity influence of each component on living organisms are determined. In addition, this new SIB delivers performance comparable to that of conventional non-degradable SIBs. The strategy and findings suggest a novel eco-friendly biodegradable paradigm for large-scale rechargeable battery systems.

Abstract
HIGHLIGHTS Wearable and smart textiles are constructed by integrating embroidery technology and 5G cloud communication, showing promising applications in temperature management and real-time dynamic textile displays. Thermochromism is introduced into the natural silk to produce high-performance thermochromic silks (TCSs) through a low cost, sustainable, efficient, and scalable strategy. The interfacial bonding of the continuously produced TCSs is in situ analyzed and improved through pre-solvent treatment and is confirmed using synchrotron Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy. ABSTRACT Silks have various advantages compared with synthetic polymer fibers, such as sustainability, mechanical properties, luster, as well as air and humidity permeability. However, the functionalization of silks has not yet been fully developed. Functionalization techniques that retain or even improve the sustainability of silk production are required. To this end, a low-cost, effective, and scalable strategy to produce TCSs by integrating yarn-spinning and continuous dip coating technique is developed herein. TCSs with extremely long length (> 10 km), high mechanical performance (strength of 443.1 MPa, toughness of 56.0 MJ m−3, comparable with natural cocoon silk), and good interfacial bonding were developed. TCSs can be automatically woven into arbitrary fabrics, which feature super-hydrophobicity as well as rapid and programmable thermochromic responses with good cyclic performance: the response speed reached to one second and remained stable after hundreds of tests. Finally, applications of TCS fabrics in temperature management and dynamic textile displays are demonstrated, confirming their application potential in smart textiles, wearable devices, flexible displays, and human–machine interfaces. Moreover, combination of the fabrication and the demonstrated applications is expected to bridge the gap between lab research and industry and accelerate the commercialization of TCSs.

Abstract
Tissue engineering (TE) is the approach to combine cells with scaffold materials and appropriate growth factors to regenerate or replace damaged or degenerated tissue or organs. The scaffold material as a template for tissue formation plays the most important role in TE. Among scaffold materials, silk fibroin (SF), a natural protein with outstanding mechanical properties, biodegradability, biocompatibility, and bioresorbability has attracted significant attention for TE applications. SF is commonly dissolved into an aqueous solution and can be easily reconstructed into different material formats, including films, mats, hydrogels, and sponges via various fabrication techniques. These include spin coating, electrospinning, freeze drying, physical, and chemical crosslinking techniques. Furthermore, to facilitate fabrication of more complex SF-based scaffolds with high precision techniques including micro-patterning and bio-printing have recently been explored. This review introduces the physicochemical and mechanical properties of SF and looks into a range of SF-based scaffolds that have been recently developed. The typical TE applications of SF-based scaffolds including bone, cartilage, ligament, tendon, skin, wound healing, and tympanic membrane, will be highlighted and discussed, followed by future prospects and challenges needing to be addressed.

Abstract
Pyroprotein-based carbon materials produced by heat-treating silk proteins have many potential applications in electronic devices, such as electronic textiles. To further develop potential electronic devices using these pyroproteins, the charge transport mechanism has to be verified. However, the electrical characteristics of the pyroproteins have not been reported yet. In this study, the temperature-dependent charge transport behavior of pyroprotein-based electronic yarns prepared from commercial silks (e-CS yarns) is investigated with respect to various heat treatment temperatures (HTT, 800, 1000, 1200, and 1400 °C). The linear current-voltage properties are shown at a low bias of 100 nA from 9 K to 300 K. The temperature-dependent resistivity of the e-CS yarns can be clearly described by the crossover of 3-dimensional Mott variable range hopping and fluctuation-induced tunneling conduction at the crossover temperature (Tc). These Tc factors are significantly different, due to the structural modulation of the e-CS yarns depending on the HTT, and are characterized by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and transmission electron microscopy. This study is expected to provide a better understanding of the electrical properties of pyroproteins.

Nanotextured silk fibroin/hydroxyapatite biomimetic bilayer tough structure regulated osteogenic/chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells for osteochondral repair.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Articular cartilage plays a vital role in bearing and buffering. Injured cartilage and subchondral bone repair is a crucial challenge in cartilage tissue engineering due to the peculiar structure of osteochondral unit and the requirement of osteogenic/chondrogenic bi-directional differentiation. Based on the bionics principle, a nanotextured silk fibroin (SF)-chondroitin sulphate (CS)/hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanowire tough bilayer structure was prepared for osteochondral repair. METHODS The SF-CS/HAp membrane was constructed by alcohol-induced β-sheet formation serving as the physical crosslink. Its osteochondral repairing capacity was evaluated by culturing bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in vitro and constructing a rat osteochondral defect model in vivo. RESULTS The bilayer SF-CS/HAp membrane with satisfactory mechanical properties similar to natural cartilage imitated the natural osteochondral unit structural layers and exerted the function of bearing and buffering timely after in vivo implantation. SF-CS layer upregulated the expression of chondrogenesis-related genes of BMSCs by surface nanotopography and sustained release CS. Meanwhile, nanotextured HAp layer assembled with nanowire endowed the membrane with an osteogenic differentiation tendency for BMSCs. In vivo results proved that the biomimetic bilayer structure dramatically promoted new cartilage formation and subchondral bone remodelling for osteochondral defect model after implantation. CONCLUSIONS The SF-CS/HAp biomimetic bilayer membrane provides a promising strategy for precise osteochondral repair.

Abstract
Herein, it is demonstrated that N-rich carbonized silk fibroin materials (CSFs) can serve as efficient peroxidase, and oxidase mimics. Their enzyme-like activities are highly dependent on carbonization conditions. CSFs obtained at low temperatures do not exhibit significant catalytic reactivity, while their enzyme-like catalysis performance is greatly activated after high-temperature treatment. Such a phenomenon is mainly ascribed to the increase of graphitization degree and graphitic nitrogen and the emergence of disordered graphitic structures during the formation of turbostratic carbon. In addition, inspired by the excellent photothermal conversion efficiency, and temperature-dependent catalytic behavior of CSFs, near-infrared light can be used to remotely control their enzyme-like activities. More importantly, as-prepared robust silk-derived nanosheets can be applied to photothermal-catalytic cancer therapy and sensing. It is believed that such a smart artificial enzyme system will throw up exciting new opportunities for the chemical industry and biotechnology.

Abstract
Despite the recent attention for Li metal anode (LMA) with high theoretical specific capacity of ≈3860 mA h g-1 , it suffers from not enough practical energy densities and safety concerns originating from the excessive metal load, which is essential to compensate for the loss of Li sources resulting from their poor coulombic efficiencies (CEs). Therefore, the development of high-performance LMA is needed to realize anode-minimized Li metal batteries (LMBs). In this study, high-performance LMAs are produced by introducing a hierarchically nanoporous assembly (HNA) composed of functionalized onion-like graphitic carbon building blocks, several nanometers in diameter, as a catalytic scaffold for Li-metal storage. The HNA-based electrodes lead to a high Li ion concentration in the nanoporous structure, showing a high CE of ≈99.1%, high rate capability of 12 mA cm-2 , and a stable cycling behavior of more than 750 cycles. In addition, anode-minimized LMBs are achieved using a HNA that has limited Li content (≈0.13 mg cm-2 ), corresponding to 6.5% of the cathode material (commercial NCM622 (≈2 mg cm-2 )). The LMBs demonstrate a feasible electrochemical performance with high energy and power densities of ≈510 Wh kgelectrode -1 and ≈2760 W kgelectrode -1 , respectively, for more than 100 cycles.

Abstract
The high toughness of natural spider-silk is attributed to their unique β-sheet secondary structures. However, the preparation of mechanically strong β-sheet rich materials remains a significant challenge due to challenges involved in processing the polymers/proteins, and managing the assembly of the hydrophobic residues. Inspired by spider-silk, our approach effectively utilizes the superior mechanical toughness and stability afforded by localised β-sheet domains within an amorphous network. Using a grafting-from polymerisation approach within an amorphous hydrophilic network allows for spatially controlled growth of poly(valine) and poly(valine-r-glycine) as β-sheet forming polypeptides via N-carboxyanhydride ring opening polymerisation. The resulting continuous β-sheet nanocrystal network exhibits improved compressive strength and stiffness over the initial network lacking β-sheets of up to 30 MPa (300 times greater than the initial network) and 6 MPa (100 times greater than the initial network) respectively. The network demonstrates improved resistance to strong acid, base and protein denaturants over 28 days. It is known the β-sheet structures in silk-inspired materials generate increased mechanical properties. Here, the authors report on a method of creating silk-inspired materials using in situ formation of β-sheets in an amorphous polymer to replicate the structure of silk and increase the mechanical properties.

Hierarchically Nanoporous Pyropolymers Derived from Waste Pinecone as a Pseudocapacitive Electrode for Lithium Ion Hybrid Capacitors. Sci Rep 2020; 10:5817.

Abstract
The non-aqueous asymmetric lithium ion hybrid capacitor (LIHC) is a tactical energy storage device composed of a faradic and non-faradic electrode pair, which aims to achieve both high energy and great power densities. On the other hand, the different types of electrode combinations cause severe imbalances in energy and power capabilities, leading to poor electrochemical performance. Herein, waste pinecone-derived hierarchically porous pyropolymers (WP-HPPs) were fabricated as a surface-driven pseudocapacitive electrode, which has the advantages of both faradic and non-faradic electrodes. The unique materials properties of WP-HPPs possessing high effective surface areas and hierarchically open nanopores led to high specific capacities of ~412 mA h g−1 and considerable rate/cycling performance as a cathode for LIHCs. In particular, nanometer-scale pores, approximately 3 nm in size, plays a key role in the pseudocapacitive charge storage behaviors because open nanopores can transport solvated Li-ions easily into the inside of complex carbon structures and a large specific surface area can be provided by the effective active surface for charge storage. In addition, WP-HPP-based asymmetric LIHCs assembled with a pseudocapacitive counterpart demonstrated feasible electrochemical performance, such as maximum specific energy and specific power of ~340 Wh kg−1 and ~11,000 W kg−1, respectively, with significant cycling stability.

Abstract
The semicrystalline protein structure and impressive mechanical properties of major ampullate (MA) spider silk make it a promising natural alternative to polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers for carbon fiber manufacture. However, when annealed using a similar procedure to carbon fiber production, the tensile strength and Young's modulus of MA silk decrease. Despite this, MA silk fibers annealed at 600 °C remain stronger and tougher than similarly annealed PAN but have a lower Young's modulus. Although MA silk and PAN graphitize to similar extents, annealing disrupts the hydrogen bonding that controls crystal alignment within MA silk. Consequently, unaligned graphite crystals form in annealed MA silk, causing it to weaken, while graphite crystals in PAN maintain alignment along the fiber axis, strengthening the fibers. These shortcomings of spider silk when annealed provide insights into the selection and design of future alternative carbon fiber precursors.
