14Flexible fiber/wire-shaped solar cells are kind of photovoltaic cells fabricated on 15 wire-like substrates. Fiber-type devices, including inorganic, organic, dye-sensitized 16 and perovskite solar cells, have made great progress in the recent years. Especially, 17 the energy conversion efficiency of fiber dye-sensitized solar cells has increased from 18 < 0.5% to > 9%. In this review, we provided very detailed insights into the 19 development of various fiber/wire-shaped solar cells, conventional materials, and 20 innovative designs. Particularly, we focused on the properties of fiber dye-sensitized 21 solar cells, the innovations for solar energy harvesting, and the integrated power 22 2 systems for electrochemical energy conversion and storage. Although recent studies 1 only provided the initial ideas, flexible fiber/wire-shaped solar cells facilitated the 2 breakthrough for novel solar architecture and portable/wearable electronics or 3 e-textiles of the future.4 Keywords: fiber/wire shaped solar cells; integrated power systems; energy 5 conversion and storage; portable/wearable electronics 6 7 18 typical solar cells is the planar shape with dimensional extension. Thus, the 19 development of one-or three-dimensional (1D or 3D) photovoltaic cells will break 20 through the limitations of conventional thinking and generate a new concept for solar 21 energy conversion. This vision could also create opportunities for material 22 3 science/structure design that would be interesting as technical innovations and 1 beneficial for special energy applications. 2 With the rapid development of traditional industry and increasing demand of 3 modern electronics, the integrated optoelectronic products come to the age of small, 4 portable, lightweight and smart merchandise. In recent years, wearable/portable 5 electronics, such as Google glasses, iWatch, and smart phone, have gradually become 6 part of human lives. To deepen the wearable concept and meet future individual needs, 7 incorporating flexible optoelectronic devices (e.g., sensors, logic circuits, antenna, 8 lighting elements, and power systems) in clothing, backpacks, and other belongings 9 would become an important trend for the next generation of smart products, namely 10 "electronic textiles" or "e-textiles" 4, 5 . The fundamental functional units for e-textiles 11 remain to be developed. Especially, flexible power sources with efficient energy 12 conversion and storage can automatically generate electricity and contribute to 13 self-driven energy systems 6-8 , which are very promising candidates for the 14 portable/wearable electronics that can further enrich e-textiles 9-11 . Among the energy 15 technology innovations, flexible fiber/wire-shaped energy devices, including solar 16 cells, batteries, supercapacitors, light-emitting diodes, and field-effect transistors, are 17 booming in recent years and attracting increasing attention 12-18 . Flexible 18 fiber/wire-shaped energy devices fabricated on fiber-or wire-type conductive 19 substrates are the suitable ...
