[PMID: 38896050 DOI: 10.1002/adma.202406368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2024] [Revised: 06/13/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024]
Abstract
Flexible solid-state lithium metal batteries (SSLMBs) are highly desirable for future wearable electronics because of their high energy density and safety. However, flexible SSLMBs face serious challenges not only in regulating the Li plating/stripping behaviors but also in enabling the mechanical flexibility of the cell. Both challenges are largely associated with the interfacial gaps between the solid electrolytes and the electrodes. Here, a UV-permeable and flexible composited Li metal anode (UVp-Li), which possesses a unique light-penetrating interwoven structure similar to textiles is reported. UVp-Li allows one-step bonding of the cathode, anode, and solid electrolyte via an in situ UV-initiated polymerization method to achieve the gapless SSLMBs. The gapless structure not only effectively stabilizes the plating/stripping of Li metal during cycling, but also ensures the integrity of the cell during mechanical bending. UVp-Li symmetric cell presents a stable cycling over 1000 h at 0.5 mA cm-2. LiFePO4||UVp-Li full cells (areal capacity ranging from 0.5 to 3 mAh cm-2) show outstanding capacity retention of over 84% after 500 charge/discharge cycles at room temperature. Large pouch cells using high-loading cathodes maintain stable electrochemical performance during 1000 times of dynamic bending.

Abstract
Skin-interfaced wearable sensors can continuously monitor various biophysical and biochemical signals for health monitoring and disease diagnostics. However, such devices are typically limited by unsatisfactory and unstable output performance of the power supplies under mechanical deformations and human movements. Furthermore, there is also a lack of a simple and cost-effective fabrication technique to fabricate and integrate varying materials in the device system. Herein, we report a fully integrated standalone stretchable biophysical sensing system by combining wearable biophysical sensors, triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG), microsupercapacitor arrays (MSCAs), power management circuits, and wireless transmission modules. All of the device components and interconnections based on the three-dimensional (3D) networked graphene/Co3O4 nanocomposites are fabricated via low-cost and scalable direct laser writing. The self-charging power units can efficiently harvest energy from body motion into a stable and adjustable voltage/current output to drive various biophysical sensors and wireless transmission modules for continuously capturing, processing, and wirelessly transmitting various signals in real-time. The novel material modification, device configuration, and system integration strategies provide a rapid and scalable route to the design and application of next-generation standalone stretchable sensing systems for health monitoring and human-machine interfaces.

Aerobically Autoxidized Self-Charge Concept Derived from Synergistic Pyrrolic Nitrogen and Catechol Configurations in N, O Co-Doped Carbon Cathode Material.

Abstract
Aerobically autoxidized self-charging concept has drawn significant attraction due to its promising chemical charge features without external power supply. Particularly, heteroatom-doped carbon materials with abundant oxidizable sites and good conductivity are expected to be ideal cathode materials. However, there is no well-defined aerobically autoxidized self-charging concept based on heteroatom-doped carbon materials, significantly hindering the design of related carbon cathodes. An aerobically autoxidized self-chargeable concept derived from synergistic effect of pyrrolic nitrogen and catechol configuration in carbon cathode using model single pyrrolic nitrogen and oxygen (N-5, O) co-doped carbon and O-enriched carbon is proposed. First, self-charging of N-5, O co-doped carbon cathode can be achieved by aerobic oxidation of pyrrolic nitrogen and catechol to oxidized pyrrolic nitrogen and ortho-quinone configurations, respectively. Second, introducing a single pyrrolic nitrogen configuration enhanced acidic wettability of N-5, O co-doped carbon facilitating air self-charge/galvanic discharge involving proton removal/introduction. Third, synergistic effect of pyrrolic nitrogen and hydroxyl species with the strong electron-donating ability to conjugated carbon-based backbone endows N-5, O co-doped carbon with a higher highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level more susceptible to oxidation charging. The assembled Cu/Carbon batteries can drive a timer after every air-charging run. This promising aerobically autoxidized self-charging concept can inspire exploring high-efficiency self-charging devices.

Abstract
The redox-diffusion (RD) battery concept introduces an environmentally friendly solution for stretchable batteries in autonomous wearable electronics. By utilising plant-based redox-active biomolecules and cellulose fibers for the electrode scaffold, separator membrane, and current collector, along with a biodegradable elastomer encapsulation, the battery design overcomes the reliance on unsustainable transition metal-based active materials and non-biodegradable elastomers used in existing stretchable batteries. Importantly, it addresses the drawback of limited attainable battery capacity, where increasing the active material loading often leads to thicker and stiffer electrodes with poor mechanical properties. The concept decouples the active material loading from the mechanical structure of the electrode, enabling high mass loadings, while retaining a skin-like young's modulus and stretchability. A stretchable ion-selective membrane facilitates the RD process, allowing two separate redox couples, while preventing crossovers. This results in a high-capacity battery cell that is both electrochemically and mechanically stable, engineered from sustainable plant-based materials. Notably, the battery components are biodegradable at the end of their life, addressing concerns of e-waste and resource depletion.

Abstract
The advancement of aqueous micro-supercapacitors offers an enticing prospect for a broad spectrum of applications, spanning from wearable electronics to micro-robotics and sensors. Unfortunately, conventional micro-supercapacitors are characterized by low capacity and slopy voltage profiles, limiting their energy density capabilities. To enhance the performance of these devices, the use of 2D MXene-based compounds has recently been proposed. Apart from their capacitive contributions, these structures can be loaded with redox-active nanowires which increase their energy density and stabilize their operation voltage. However, introducing rigid nanowires into MXene films typically leads to a significant decline in their mechanical properties, particularly in terms of flexibility. To overcome this issue, super stretchable micro-pseudocapacitor electrodes composed of MXene nanosheets and in situ reconstructed Ag nanoparticles (Ag-NP-MXene) are herein demonstrated, delivering high energy density, stable operation voltage of ≈1 V, and fast charging capabilities. Careful experimental analysis and theoretical simulations of the charging mechanism of the Ag-NP-MXene electrodes reveal a dual nature charge storage mechanism involving ad(de)sorption of ions and conversion reaction of Ag nanoparticles. The superior mechanical properties of synthesized films obtained through in situ construction of Ag-NP-MXene structure show an ultra stretchability, allowing the devices to provide stable voltage and energy output even at 100% elongation.

Abstract
Electrochemical reactions are the unrivaled backbone of next-generation energy storage, energy conversion, and healthcare devices. However, the real-time visualization of electrochemical reactions remains the bottleneck for fully exploiting their intrinsic potential. Herein, for the first time, a universal approach to direct spatiotemporal-dynamic in situ optical visualization of pH-based as well as specific byproduct-based electrochemical reactions is performed. As a highly relevant and impactful example, in-operando optical visualization of on-catalyst water splitting processes is performed in neutral water/seawater. HPTS (8-hydroxypyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonicacid), known for its exceptional optical capability of detecting even the tiniest pH changes allows the unprecedented "spatiotemporal" real-time visualization at the electrodes. As a result, it is unprecedentedly revealed that at a critical cathode-to-anode distance, the bulk-electrolyte "self-neutralization" phenomenon can be achieved during the water splitting process, leading to the practical realization of enhanced additive-free neutral water splitting. Furthermore, it is experimentally unveiled that at increasing electrolyte flow rates, a swift and severe inhibition of the concomitantly forming acidic and basic 'fronts', developed at anode and cathode compartments are observed, thus acting as a "buffering" mechanism. To demonstrate the universal applicability of this elegant strategy which is not limited to pH changes, the technique is extended to visualization of hypochlorite/ chlorine at the anode during electrolysis of sea water using N-(4-butanoic acid) dansylsulfonamide (BADS). Thus, a unique experimental tool that allows real-time spatiotemporal visualization and simultaneous mechanistic investigation of complex electrochemical processes is developed that can be universally extended to various fields of research.

Abstract
Aqueous zinc (Zn) batteries have attracted global attention for energy storage. Despite significant progress in advancing Zn anode materials, there has been little progress in cathodes. The predominant cathodes working with Zn2+/H+ intercalation, however, exhibit drawbacks, including a high Zn2+ diffusion energy barrier, pH fluctuation(s) and limited reproducibility. Beyond Zn2+ intercalation, alternative working principles have been reported that broaden cathode options, including conversion, hybrid, anion insertion and deposition/dissolution. In this review, we report a critical assessment of non-intercalation-type cathode materials in aqueous Zn batteries, and identify strengths and weaknesses of these cathodes in small-scale batteries, together with current strategies to boost material performance. We assess the technical gap(s) in transitioning these cathodes from laboratory-scale research to industrial-scale battery applications. We conclude that S, I2 and Br2 electrodes exhibit practically promising commercial prospects, and future research is directed to optimizing cathodes. Findings will be useful for researchers and manufacturers in advancing cathodes for aqueous Zn batteries beyond Zn2+ intercalation.

Abstract
Replacement of liquid electrolytes with polymer gel electrolytes is recognized as a general and effective way of solving safety problems and achieving high flexibility in wearable batteries1-6. However, the poor interface between polymer gel electrolyte and electrode, caused by insufficient wetting, produces much poorer electrochemical properties, especially during the deformation of the battery7-9. Here we report a strategy for designing channel structures in electrodes to incorporate polymer gel electrolytes and to form intimate and stable interfaces for high-performance wearable batteries. As a demonstration, multiple electrode fibres were rotated together to form aligned channels, while the surface of each electrode fibre was designed with networked channels. The monomer solution was effectively infiltrated first along the aligned channels and then into the networked channels. The monomers were then polymerized to produce a gel electrolyte and form intimate and stable interfaces with the electrodes. The resulting fibre lithium-ion battery (FLB) showed high electrochemical performances (for example, an energy density of about 128 Wh kg-1). This strategy also enabled the production of FLBs with a high rate of 3,600 m h-1 per winding unit. The continuous FLBs were woven into a 50 cm × 30 cm textile to provide an output capacity of 2,975 mAh. The FLB textiles worked safely under extreme conditions, such as temperatures of -40 °C and 80 °C and a vacuum of -0.08 MPa. The FLBs show promise for applications in firefighting and space exploration.

Abstract
Carbon has been widely used as an electrode material in commercial metal-ion batteries (MIBs) because of its desirable electrical, mechanical, and physical properties. Still, traditional carbon electrodes suffer from limited mechanical stability and electrochemical performance in MIBs. Drawing inspiration from biological species, the carbon allotropes, such as fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene, can be engineered into mechanically robust, highly conductive frameworks with enhanced ion storage and transport capabilities for MIBs. Here, we present an assortment of bio-inspired carbon electrodes that have enhanced the cycling stability, capacity retention, and overall performance of MIBs. In addition, mimicking the structure and functionality of biological systems has led to the development of flexible MIBs whose performance does not degrade even when stretched, bent, or twisted. Finite element analysis (FEA) is a useful guide in identifying such bio-inspired carbon frameworks because it can simulate and analyze potential failure scenarios, such as stress build-up or structural collapse in MIBs. This review highlights through several examples that there is much scope for improving carbon-based electrode materials through bio-inspired designs for practical high-performance MIBs.

Abstract
The development of advanced magnesium metal batteries (MMBs) has been hindered by longstanding challenges, such as the inability to induce uniform magnesium (Mg) nucleation and the inefficient utilization of Mg foil. This study introduces a novel solution in the form of a flexible, lightweight, paper-based scaffold that incorporates gradient conductivity, magnesiophilicity, and pore size. This design is achieved through an industrially adaptable papermaking process in which the ratio of carboxylated multi-walled carbon nanotubes to softwood cellulose fibers is meticulously adjusted. The triple-gradient structure of the scaffold enables the regulation of Mg ion flux, promoting bottom-up Mg deposition. Owing to its high flexibility, low thickness, and reduced density, the scaffold has potential applications in flexible and wearable electronics. Accordingly, the triple-gradient electrodes exhibit stable operation for over 1200 h at 3 mA cm-2 /3 mAh cm-2 in symmetrical cells, markedly outperforming the non-gradient and metallic Mg alternatives. Notably, this study marks the first successful fabrication of a flexible MMB pouch full cell, achieving an impressive volumetric energy density of 244 Wh L-1 . The simplicity and scalability of the triple-gradient design, which uses readily available materials through an industrially compatible papermaking process, open new doors for the production of flexible, high-energy-density metal batteries.

Abstract
The development of excellently stretchable, highly mobile, and sustainable power supplies is of great importance for self-power wearable electronics. Transpiration-driven hydrovoltaic power generator (HPG) has been demonstrated to be a promising energy harvesting strategy with the advantages of negative heat and zero-carbon emissions. Herein, this work demonstrates a fiber-based stretchable HPG with the advantages of high output, portability, knittability, and sustainable power generation. Based on the functionalized micro-nano water diffusion channels constructed by the discarded mask straps (MSs) and oxidation-treated carbon nanomaterials, the applied water can continuously produce electricity during the spontaneous flow and diffusion. Experimentally, when a tiny 0.1 mL of water encounters one end of the proposed HPG, the centimeter-length device can yield a peak voltage of 0.43 V, peak current of 29.5 µA, and energy density of 5.833 mW h cm-3. By efficiently integrating multiple power generation units, sufficient output power can be provided to drive commercial electronic devices even in the stretched state. Furthermore, due to the reversibility of the electrical output during dynamic stretching-releasing, it can passively convert physiological activities and motion behaviors into quantifiable and processable current signals, opening up HPG's application in the field of self-powered wearable sensing.

Abstract
Stretchable power sources, especially stretchable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), have attracted increasing attention due to their enormous prospects for powering flexible/wearable electronics. Despite recent advances, it is still challenging to develop ultra-stretchable LIBs that can withstand large deformation. In particular, stretchable LIBs require an elastic electrolyte as a basic component, while the conductivity of most elastic electrolytes drops sharply during deformation, especially during large deformations. This is why highly stretchable LIBs have not yet been realized until now. As a proof of concept, a super-stretchable LIB with strain up to 1200% is created based on an intrinsically super-stretchable polymer electrolyte as the lithium-ion conductor. The super-stretchable conductive system is constructed by an effective diblock copolymerization strategy via photocuring of vinyl functionalized 2-ureido-4-pyrimidone (VFUpy), an acrylic monomer containing succinonitrile and a lithium salt, achieving high ionic conductivity (3.5 × 10-4 mS cm-1 at room temperature (RT)) and large deformation (the strain can reach 4560%). The acrylic elastomer containing Li-ion conductive domains can strongly increase the compatibility between the neighboring elastic networks, resulting in high ionic conductivity under ultra-large deformation, while VFUpy increases elasticity modulus (over three times) and electrochemical stability (voltage window reaches 5.3 V) of the prepared polymer conductor. At a strain of up to 1200%, the resulting stretchable LIBs are still sufficient to power LEDs. This study sheds light on the design and development of high-performance intrinsically super-stretchable materials for the advancement of highly elastic energy storage devices for powering flexible/wearable electronics that can endure large deformation.

Abstract
The interfacial void and delamination between the hydrogel electrolyte and flexible electrode caused by the inconformal contact and weak adhesion lead to serious performance degradation of solid-state-sandwiched supercapacitors (SCs) upon repetitive deformation. Herein, we propose a hydrogel polymer electrolyte (HPE) engineering strategy for enhancing the interfacial adhesion (Γ) to achieve extremely durable SCs via the soft, tough, and self-adhesive HPE. Using a self-cross-linked poly(N-hydroxyethyl acrylamide)/H3PO4 (PHEAA/H3PO4) HPE as the model, the interfacial adhesion between HPE and polyaniline (PANI)-modified carbon cloth (CC) electrode (CC/PANI) reaches up to 556 J/m2, leading to excellent durability of electrochemical performance under long-term repetitive deformations. The as-assembled sandwiched SC retains 94.14 and 93.62% of initial capacitance after 180° bending and twisting for 100,000 cycles, respectively. Furthermore, benefiting from the addition of H3PO4, the flexible sandwiched SC displays excellent tolerance to low temperatures and delivers a capacitance retention of 98.03% after 180° bending for 10,000 cycles at -20 °C. This work highlights the importance of interfacial adhesion engineering for the design of extremely deformation-tolerable SCs.

Abstract
Flexible strain sensors based on controllable surface microstructures in film-substrate systems can be extensively applied in high-tech fields such as human-machine interfaces, electronic skins, and soft robots. However, the rigid functional films are susceptible to structural destruction and interfacial failure under large strains or high loading speeds, limiting the stability and durability of the sensors. Here we report on a facile technique to prepare high-performance flexible strain sensors based on controllable wrinkles by depositing silver films on liquid polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrates. The silver atoms can penetrate into the surface of liquid PDMS to form an interlocking layer during deposition, enhancing the interfacial adhesion greatly. After deposition, the liquid PDMS is spontaneously solidified to stabilize the film microstructures. The surface patterns are well modulated by changing film thickness, prepolymer-to-crosslinker ratio of liquid PDMS, and strain value. The flexible strain sensors based on the silver film/liquid PDMS system show high sensitivity (above 4000), wide sensing range (∼80%), quick response speed (∼80 ms), and good stability (above 6000 cycles), and have a broad application prospect in the fields of health monitoring and motion tracking.

Abstract
Sodium ion-batteries (SIBs) are considered as a class of promising alternatives to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) to overcome their drawbacks of limited sources and safety problems. However, the lack of high-performance electrode materials hinders the wide-range commercialization of SIBs. Comparing to inorganic counterparts, organic electrode materials, which are benefitted from flexibly designable structures, low cost, environmental friendliness, and high theoretical gravimetric capacities, should be a prior choice. Here, a covalent organic polymer (COP) based material (denoted as CityU-9) is designed and synthesized by integrating multiple redox motifs (benzoquinone and thioether), improved conductivity (sulfur induction), and intrinsic insolubility (rigid skeleton). The half-cell SIBs exhibit ultrahigh specific capacity of 1009 mAh g-1 and nearly no capacity drop after 650 cycles. The first all-COP symmetric full-cell shows high specific capacity of 90 mAh g-1 and excellent rate capability. This work can extend the selection of redox-active moieties and provide a rational design strategy of high-performance novel organic electrode materials.

Abstract
Stretchable electronics possess significant advantages over their conventional rigid counterparts and boost game-changing applications such as bioelectronics, flexible displays, wearable health monitors, etc. It is, nevertheless, a formidable task to impart stretchability to brittle electronic materials such as silicon. This review provides a concise but critical discussion of the prevailing structural engineering strategies for achieving strain-tolerant electronic devices. Not only the more commonly discussed lateral designs of structures such as island-bridge, wavy structures, fractals, and kirigami, but also the less discussed vertical architectures such as strain isolation and elastoplastic principle are reviewed. Future opportunities are envisaged at the end of the paper.

Abstract
Stretchability is an essential property for wearable devices to match varying strains when interfacing with soft tissues or organs. While piezoelectricity has broad application potentials as tactile sensors, artificial skins, or nanogenerators, enabling tissue-comparable stretchability is a main roadblock due to the intrinsic rigidity and hardness of the crystalline phase. Here, an amino acid-based piezoelectric biocrystal thin film that offers tissue-compatible omnidirectional stretchability with unimpaired piezoelectricity is reported. The stretchability was enabled by a truss-like microstructure that was self-assembled under controlled molecule-solvent interaction and interface tension. Through the open and close of truss meshes, this large scale biocrystal microstructure was able to endure up to 40% tensile strain along different directions while retained both structural integrity and piezoelectric performance. Built on this structure, a tissue-compatible stretchable piezoelectric nanogenerator was developed, which could conform to various tissue surfaces, and exhibited stable functions under multidimensional large strains. In this work, we presented a promising solution that integrates piezoelectricity, stretchability and biocompatibility in one material system, a critical step toward tissue-compatible biomedical devices.

Abstract
Recently, aqueous Zn-based batteries (AZBs) are receiving increased attention in wearable and implantable electronics due to the low cost, high safety, high eco-efficiency, and relatively high energy density. However, it is still a big challenge to develop stretchable AZBs (SAZBs) which can be conformally folded, crumpled, and stretched with human body motions. Although a lot of efforts have been dedicated to constructions of SAZBs, a comprehensive review which focuses on summarizing stretchable materials, device configurations and challenges of SAZBs is needed. Herein, this review attempts to critically review the latest developments and progress in stretchable electrodes, electrolytes, packaging materials and device configurations in detail. Furthermore, these challenges and potential future research directions in the field of SAZBs are also discussed.

Abstract
Flexible solid-state Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs) have garnered considerable attention for next-generation power sources, but the corrosion, dendrite growth, and interfacial problems severely hinder their practical applications. Herein, a high-performance flexible solid-state ZIB with a unique heterostructure electrolyte is facilely fabricated through ultraviolet-assisted printing strategy. The solid polymer/hydrogel heterostructure matrix not only isolates water molecules and optimizes electric field distribution for dendrite-free anode, but also facilitates fast and in-depth Zn2+ transport in the cathode. The in situ ultraviolet-assisted printing creates cross-linked and well-bonded interfaces between the electrodes and the electrolyte, enabling low ionic transfer resistance and high mechanical stability. As a result, the heterostructure electrolyte based ZIB outperforms single-electrolyte based cells. It not only delivers a high capacity of 442.2 mAh g-1 with long cycling life of 900 cycles at 2 A g-1 , but also maintains stable operation under mechanical bending and high-pressure compression in a wide temperature range (-20 °C to 100 °C).

Abstract
Uninterrupted, efficient power supplies have posed a significant hurdle to the ubiquitous adoption of wearable devices, despite their potential for revolutionizing human‒machine interactions. This challenge is further compounded by the requirement of these devices to supply dependable energy for data-intensive sensing and transmission. Traditional thermoelectric solutions fail to deliver satisfactory performance under conditions of extremely low voltages. Here, we present a novel solution of a wearable thermoelectric generator integrated with an energy management system, which is capable of powering sensors and Bluetooth by harnessing body heat. Distinct from previous works, our innovation lies in its ability to consistently operate even with a minimal temperature difference (i.e., 4 K) between the human skin and the ambient environment, ensuring reliable data transmission within a time as short as 1.6 s. Furthermore, our system can recharge utilizing body heat under ultralow voltage conditions (30 mV). Our developed system provides a novel pathway for the continuous, reliable monitoring of self-contained wearable devices without depending on batteries.

Abstract
Stretchable microsupercapacitors represent emerging miniaturized energy-storage devices for next-generation deformable electronics. Two-dimensional (2D) transition metal carbides (MXenes) are considered attractive electrode materials due to their metallic conductivity, hydrophilic surfaces, and excellent processability. Here, an ultrastretchable microsupercapacitor of interdigitated MXene microelectrodes with crumpled surface textures is created. The microsupercapacitor shows a series of attractive properties including a high specific capacitance of ≈185 mF cm-2 , ultrahigh stretchability up to 800% area strain, and ≈89.7% retention of the initial capacitance after 1000 stretch-relaxation cycles. In addition to static strains, the microsupercapacitor demonstrates robust mechanical properties to retain stable charging-discharging capability under dynamic stretching at different strain rates. A self-powering circuit system utilizes four microsupercapacitor packs to power a light-emitting diode (LED) array, which exhibits stable operations under large tensile strain and skin-attached wearable settings. The developments offer a generic design strategy to enhance the deformability of microsupercapacitors based on 2D nanomaterials.

Abstract
The development of advanced biomaterial with mechanically robust and high energy density is critical for flexible electronics, such as batteries and supercapacitors. Plant proteins are ideal candidates for making flexible electronics due to their renewable and eco-friendly natures. However, due to the weak intermolecular interactions and abundant hydrophilic groups of protein chains, the mechanical properties of protein-based materials, especially in bulk materials, are largely constrained, which hinders their performance in practical applications. Here, a green and scalable method is shown for the fabrication of advanced film biomaterials with high mechanical strength (36.3 MPa), toughness (21.25 MJ m-3 ), and extraordinary fatigue-resistance (213 000 times) by incorporating tailor-made core-double-shell structured nanoparticles. Subsequently, the film biomaterials combine to construct an ordered, dense bulk material by stacking-up and hot-pressing techniques. Surprisingly, the solid-state supercapacitor based on compacted bulk material shows an ultrahigh energy density of 25.8 Wh kg-1 , which is much higher than those previously reported advanced materials. Notably, the bulk material also demonstrates long-term cycling stability, which can be maintained under ambient condition or immersed in H2 SO4 electrolyte for more than 120 days. Thus, this research improves the competitiveness of protein-based materials for real-world applications such as flexible electronics and solid-state supercapacitors.

Abstract
Flexible energy-storage devices lay the foundation for a convenient, advanced, fossil fuel-free society. However, the fabrication of flexible energy-storage devices remains a tremendous challenge due to the intrinsic dissimilarities between electrode and electrolyte. In this study, a strategy is proposed for fabricating a flexible electrode and electrolyte entirely inside a matrix. First, a nest-structural and redox-active ionohydrogel with excellent stretchability (up to 3000%) and conductivity (167.9 mS cm-1 ) is designed using a hydrated ionic liquid (HIL) solvent and chemical foaming strategy. The nest-structure ionohydrogel provides sufficient "highways" and "service area", and the cation in HIL facilitates the reaction, transportation, and deposition of benzoquinone. Subsequently, in situ, a novel benzoquinone crystal-gel interface (CGI) is in situ fabricated on the surface of the ionohydrogel through electrochemical deposition of benzoquinone. Thus, an integrated CGI-gel platform is successfully achieved with a middle body as an electrolyte and the surficial redox-active CGI membrane for electrochemical energy conversion and storage. Based on the CGI-gel platform, an extreme simple and effective "stick-to-use" strategy is proposed for constructing flexible energy-storage devices and then a series of flexible supercapatteries are fabricated with high stretchability and capacitance (5222.1 mF cm-2 at 600% strain), low self-discharge and interfacial resistance and a wearable, self-power and intelligent display.

Abstract
Soft materials tend to be highly permeable to gases, making it difficult to create stretchable hermetic seals. With the integration of spacers, we demonstrate the use of liquid metals, which show both metallic and fluidic properties, as stretchable hermetic seals. Such soft seals are used in both a stretchable battery and a stretchable heat transfer system that involve volatile fluids, including water and organic fluids. The capacity retention of the battery was ~72.5% after 500 cycles, and the sealed heat transfer system showed an increased thermal conductivity of approximately 309 watts per meter-kelvin while strained and heated. Furthermore, with the incorporation of a signal transmission window, we demonstrated wireless communication through such seals. This work provides a route to create stretchable yet hermetic packaging design solutions for soft devices.

Abstract
Next-generation energy storage devices should be soft, stretchable, and self-healable. Previously reported self-healable batteries mostly possess limited stretchability and rely on healable electrodes or electrolytes rather than achieving full-device self-healability. Herein, an all-component self-bonding strategy is reported to obtain an all-eutectogel soft battery (AESB) that simultaneously achieves full-cell autonomous self-healability and omnidirectional intrinsic stretchability (>1000% areal strain) over a broad temperature range (-20~60 °C). Without requiring any external stimulus, the five-layered soft battery can efficiently recover both its mechanical and electrochemical performance at full-cell level. The developed AESB can be easily configured into various 3D architectures with highly interfacial compatible eutectogel electrodes, electrolyte, and substrate, presenting an excellent opportunity for the development of embodied energy technologies. The present work provides a general and user-friendly soft electronic material platform for fabricating a variety of intrinsic self-healing stretchable multi-layered electronics, which are promising beyond the field of energy storage, such as displays, sensors, circuits, and soft robots.

Abstract
Ultra-flexible stretchable organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are emerging as a basic component of flexible electronics and human-machine interfaces. However, the brightness and efficiency of stretchable OLEDs remain still far inferior to their rigid counterparts, owing to the scarcity of satisfactory stretchable electroluminescent materials. Herein, we explore a general concept based on the self-confinement effect to dramatically improve the stretchability of elastomers, without affecting electroluminescent properties. The balanced rigid/flexible chain dynamics under self-confinement significantly reduces the modulus of the elastomers, resulting in the maximum strain reaching 806 %. Ultra-flexible stretchable OLEDs have been constructed based on the resulting ISEEs, achieving unprecedented high-performance non-blended stretchable OLEDs. The results suggest an effective molecular design strategy for highly deformable stretchable displays and flexible electronics.

Abstract
Employment of multivalent charge carriers with higher charge density to replace frequently used univalent ones can effectively increase the areal capacitance of micro-supercapacitors utilizing few-layered MXene self-assembled electrodes. However, their larger charge density and ionic size usually lead to a sluggish extraction/insertion dynamic between MXene interlayers with limited free space, greatly offsetting the benefits. Herein, we show how to facilitate de-/intercalation of high-valence charge carriers (Al3+) by using polypyrrole-coated bacterial cellulose (BC@PPy) nanospacers to expand MXene interlayer space. Together with the longitudinal electron transport path between interlayers synchronously constructed by the conductive PPy shell, a significant 496% areal capacitance enhancement (232.79 mF cm-2) is realized in the fabricated symmetric Al3+-ion micro-supercapacitors (AMSCs) with the obtained MXene/BC@PPy hybrid film electrodes employing polyacrylamide/1 M AlCl3·6H2O hydrogel electrolyte relative to the cell with pure MXene film electrodes (39.02 mF cm-2). Further benefiting from a high output voltage of 1.2 V, the AMSCs acquire an areal energy density up to 45.3 μW h cm-2. As a device demonstration, we further fabricate a biaxially stretchable AMSC array, simulate its spatial strain distribution during biaxial stretching, and characterize its electrochemical and mechanical properties up to an extreme areal strain of 300%. The proposed rational fabrication paradigm achieves a new level of combined energy density, stretch performance, and architectural simplicity, which presents a route toward a commercially viable stretchable micro energy-storage system with high energy efficiencies.

Abstract
The ever-increasing demand for flexible and portable electronics has stimulated research and development in building advanced electrochemical energy devices which are lightweight, ultrathin, small in size, bendable, foldable, knittable, wearable, and/or stretchable. In such flexible and portable devices, semi-solid/solid electrolytes besides anodes and cathodes are the necessary components determining the energy/power performances. By serving as the ion transport channels, such semi-solid/solid electrolytes may be beneficial to resolving the issues of leakage, electrode corrosion, and metal electrode dendrite growth. In this paper, the fundamentals of semi-solid/solid electrolytes (e.g., chemical composition, ionic conductivity, electrochemical window, mechanical strength, thermal stability, and other attractive features), the electrode-electrolyte interfacial properties, and their relationships with the performance of various energy devices (e.g., supercapacitors, secondary ion batteries, metal-sulfur batteries, and metal-air batteries) are comprehensively reviewed in terms of materials synthesis and/or characterization, functional mechanisms, and device assembling for performance validation. The most recent advancements in improving the performance of electrochemical energy devices are summarized with focuses on analyzing the existing technical challenges (e.g., solid electrolyte interphase formation, metal electrode dendrite growth, polysulfide shuttle issue, electrolyte instability in half-open battery structure) and the strategies for overcoming these challenges through modification of semi-solid/solid electrolyte materials. Several possible directions for future research and development are proposed for going beyond existing technological bottlenecks and achieving desirable flexible and portable electrochemical energy devices to fulfill their practical applications. It is expected that this review may provide the readers with a comprehensive cross-technology understanding of the semi-solid/solid electrolytes for facilitating their current and future researches on the flexible and portable electrochemical energy devices.

Abstract
Emerging directions in the growing wearable electronics market have spurred the development of flexible energy storage systems that require deformability while maintaining electrochemical performance. However, the traditional fabrication approaches of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are challenging to withstand long-cycle bending alternating loads due to the stress concentration caused by the nonuniformity of the actual deformation. Herein, inspired by kirigami, a segmented deformation design of full-cell scale thin-type flexible lithium-ion batteries (FLIBs) with large-scale manufacturing characteristics via the current collector's mechanical blanking process is reported. This strategy allows the battery's elliptical deformation of the actual state to be transformed into the circular strain of the ideal configuration, thereby dispersing the stress concentration on the top of the battery. According to the results, the designed battery maintains >95% capacity after >20 000 harsh in situ dynamic tests. In addition, finite element analysis further reveals the mechanism that the segmented deformation strategy bears the mechanical stress. This work can enlighten the rational design and customization of electrode patterns for high compatibility with various devices, thereby providing potential opportunities for the application of FLIBs.

Abstract
Highly deformable batteries that are flexible and stretchable are important for the next-generation wearable devices. Several studies have focused on the stable operation and life span of batteries. On the other hand, there has been less focus on the packaging of highly deformable batteries. In wearable devices, solid-state or pouch lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) packaged in aluminum (Al)-laminated films, which protect against moisture and gas permeation, are used. Stretchable elastomer materials are used as the packaging films of highly deformable batteries; however, they are extremely permeable to gas and moisture. Therefore, a packaging film that provides high deformability along with gas and moisture barrier functionalities is required for the stable operation of highly deformable batteries used in ambient conditions. In this study, a stretchable packaging film with high gas barrier functionality is developed successfully by coating a thin layer of liquid metal onto a gold (Au)-deposited thermoplastic polyurethane film using the layer-by-layer method. The film exhibits excellent oxygen gas impermeability under mechanical strain and extremely low moisture permeability. It shows high impermeability along with high mechanical robustness. Using the proposed stretchable gas barrier film, a highly deformable LIB is assembled, which offers reliable operation in air. The operation of the highly deformable battery is analyzed by powering LEDs under mechanical deformations in ambient conditions. The proposed stretchable packaging film can potentially be used for the development of packaging films in advanced wearable electronic devices.

Abstract
Realizing autonomous self-healing and high stretchability of flexible supercapacitors over a wide temperature range remains a big challenge because of simultaneous incorporation of self-healing, stretchable and temperature-tolerant elements into a device as well as unfavorable electrochemical kinetics in harsh conditions. Here, we demonstrate for the first time an autonomous self-healing and intrinsically stretchable supercapacitor that can work at all-climate environments assembled by universally self-healing and highly stretchable organohydrogel electrodes with record-high temperature-invariant conductivity of ∼965 S/cm. Benefiting from multiple hydrogen bonding and dynamic metal coordination combined with electrochemistry-favorable components and integrated device configuration, the supercapacitor exhibits outstanding long-term stability, high stretchability, instantaneous and complete capacitive self-healability, and real-time mechanical healing at harsh temperatures from -35 to 80 °C. The superiorities in stretchability, self-healability, and all-climate tolerance enable the supercapacitor presented here as the best performer among the flexible supercapacitors reported to date.

Abstract
With the development of flexible devices, it is necessary to design high-performance power supplies with superior flexibility, durability, safety, etc., to ensure that they can be deformed with the device while retaining their electrochemical functions. Herein, we have designed a flexible lithium-ion battery inspired by the DNA helix structure. The battery structure is mainly composed of multiple thick energy stacks for energy storage and some grooves for stress buffers, which realized the spiral deformation of batteries. According to the results, the batteries exhibit less than 3% capacity degradation even after more than 31000 times of in situ dynamic mechanical loadings. Moreover, the mechanism of the battery with spiral deformability is further revealed. It is anticipated that this bioinspired design strategy could create unique opportunities for the commercialization of flexible batteries and fill the current gap in realizing battery-specific deformations to meet various requirements for future complex device designs.

Abstract
Most existing stretchable batteries can generally only be stretched uniaxially and suffer from poor mechanical and electrochemical robustness to withstand extreme mechanical and environmental challenges. A highly efficient bifunctional electrocatalyst is herein developed via the unique self-templated conversion of a guanosine-based supramolecular hydrogel and presents a fully integrated design strategy to successfully fabricate an omnidirectionally stretchable and extremely environment-adaptable Zn-air battery (ZAB) through the synergistic engineering of active materials and device architecture. The electrocatalyst demonstrates a very low reversible overpotential of only 0.68 V for oxygen reduction/evolution reactions (ORR/OER). This ZAB exhibits superior omnidirectional stretchability with a full-cell areal strain of >1000% and excellent durability, withstanding more than 10 000 stretching cycles. Promisingly, without any additional pre-treatment, the ZAB exhibits outstanding ultra-low temperature tolerance (down to -60 °C) and superior waterproofness, withstanding continuous water rinsing (>5 h) and immersion (>3 h). The present work offers a promising strategy for the design of omnidirectionally stretchable and high-performance energy storage devices for future on-skin wearable applications.

Abstract
Ceramic aerogels are attractive for many applications due to their ultralow density, high porosity, and multifunctionality but are limited by the typical trade-off relationship between mechanical properties and thermal stability when used in extreme environments. In this work, we design and synthesize ceramic nanofibrous aerogels with three-dimensional (3D) interwoven crimped-nanofibre structures that endow the aerogels with superior mechanical performances and high thermal stability. These ceramic aerogels are synthesized by a direct and facile route, 3D reaction electrospinning. They display robust structural stability with structure-derived mechanical ultra-stretchability up to 100% tensile strain and superior restoring capacity up to 40% tensile strain, 95% bending strain and 60% compressive strain, high thermal stability from −196 to 1400 °C, repeatable stretchability at working temperatures up to 1300 °C, and a low thermal conductivity of 0.0228 W m−1 K−1 in air. This work would enable the innovative design of high-performance ceramic aerogels for various applications. Ceramic aerogels are generally brittle and often tend to structurally collapse under large external tensile strain. Here the authors synthesize large-scale stretchable ceramic aerogels with interwoven crimped nanofibers by combining electrohydrodynamic method and 3D reaction electrospinning.

Abstract
Manufacturing advanced solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) for flexible rechargeable batteries becomes increasingly important but remains grand challenge. The sophisticated structure of robust animal dermis and good water-retention of plant cell in nature grant germane inspirations for designing high-performance SSEs. Herein, tough bioinspired SSEs with intrinsic hydroxide ion (OH- ) conduction are constructed by in situ formation of OH- conductive ionomer network within a hollow-polymeric-microcapsule-decorated hydrogel polymer network. By virtue of the bioinspired design and dynamic dual-penetrating network structure, the bioinspired SSEs simultaneously obtain mechanical robustness with 1800% stretchability, good water uptake of 107 g g-1 and water retention, and superhigh ion conductivity of 215 mS cm-1 . The nanostructure of bioinspired SSE and related ion-conduction mechanism are revealed and visualized by molecular dynamics simulation, where plenty of compact and superfast ion-transport channels are constructed, contributing to superhigh ion conductivity. As a result, the flexible solid-state zinc-air batteries assembled with bioinspired SSEs witness high power density of 148 mW cm-2 , specific capacity of 758 mAh g-1 and ultralong cycling stability of 320 h as well as outstanding flexibility. The bioinspired methodology and deep insight of ion-conduction mechanism will shed light on the design of advanced SSEs for flexible energy conversion and storage systems.

Abstract
The seamless integration of emerging triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) technology with traditional wearable textile materials has given birth to the next-generation smart textiles, i.e., textile TENGs, which will play a vital role in the era of Internet of Things and artificial intelligences. However, low output power and inferior sensing ability have largely limited the development of textile TENGs. Among various approaches to improve the output and sensing performance, such as material modification, structural design, and environmental management, a 3D fabric structural scheme is a facile, efficient, controllable, and scalable strategy to increase the effective contact area for contact electrification of textile TENGs without cumbersome material processing and service area restrictions. Herein, the recent advances of the current reported textile TENGs with 3D fabric structures are comprehensively summarized and systematically analyzed in order to clarify their superiorities over 1D fiber and 2D fabric structures in terms of power output and pressure sensing. The forward-looking integration abilities of the 3D fabrics are also discussed at the end. It is believed that the overview and analysis of textile TENGs with distinctive 3D fabric structures will contribute to the development and realization of high-power output micro/nanowearable power sources and high-quality self-powered wearable sensors.

Abstract
Wearable electronics is a growing field that has important applications in advanced human-integrated systems with high performance and mechanical deformability, especially foldable characteristics. Although foldable electronics such as rollable TVs (LG signature OLED R) or foldable smartphones (Samsung Galaxy Z fold/flip series) have been successfully established in the market, these devices are still powered by rigid and stiff batteries. Therefore, to realize fully wearable devices, it is necessary to develop state-of-the-art foldable batteries with high performance and safety in dynamic deformation states. In this review, we cover the recent progress in developing materials and system designs for foldable batteries. The Materials section is divided into three sections aimed at helping researchers choose suitable materials for their systems. Several foldable battery systems are discussed and the combination of innovative materials and system design that yields successful devices is considered. Furthermore, the basic analysis process of electrochemical and mechanical properties is provided as a guide for researchers interested in the evaluation of foldable battery systems. The current challenges facing the practical application of foldable batteries are briefly discussed. This review will help researchers to understand various aspects (from material preparation to battery configuration) of foldable batteries and provide a brief guideline for evaluating the performance of these batteries.

Abstract
Human health and performance monitoring (HHPM) is imperative to provide information necessary for protecting, sustaining, evaluating, and improving personnel in various occupational sectors, such as industry, academy, sports, recreation, and military. While various commercially wearable sensors are on the market with their capability of "quantitative assessments" on human health, physical, and psychological states, their sensing is mostly based on physical traits, and thus lacks precision in HHPM. Minimally or noninvasive biomarkers detectable from the human body, such as body fluid (e.g., sweat, tear, urine, and interstitial fluid), exhaled breath, and skin surface, can provide abundant additional information to the HHPM. Detecting these biomarkers with novel or existing sensor technologies is emerging as critical human monitoring research. This review provides a broad perspective on the state of the art biosensor technologies for HHPM, including the list of biomarkers and their physiochemical/physical characteristics, fundamental sensing principles, and high-performance sensing transducers. Further, this paper expands to the additional scope on the key technical challenges in applying the current HHPM system to the real field.

Abstract
For next-generation wearable and implantable devices, energy storage devices should be soft and mechanically deformable and easily printable on any substrate or active devices. Herein, we introduce a fully stretchable lithium-ion battery system for free-form configurations in which all components, including electrodes, current collectors, separators, and encapsulants, are intrinsically stretchable and printable. The stretchable electrode acquires intrinsic stretchability and improved interfacial adhesion with the active materials via a functionalized physically cross-linked organogel as a stretchable binder and separator. Intrinsically stretchable current collectors are fabricated in the form of nanocomposites consisting of a matrix with excellent barrier properties without swelling in organic electrolytes and nanostructure-controlled multimodal conductive fillers. Due to structural and materials freedoms, we successfully fabricate several types of stretchable lithium-ion battery that reliably operates under various stretch deformations with capacity and rate capability comparable with a nonstretchable battery over 2.5 mWh cm-2 at 0.5 C, even under high mass loading conditions over 10 mg cm-2, including stacked configuration, direct integration on both sides of a stretch fabric, and application of various electrode materials and electrolytes. Especially, our stretchable battery printed on a stretch fabric also exhibits high performance and stretch/long-term stabilities in the air even with wearing and pulling.
