“…Piezoelectric systems, involving the conversion between the mechanical deformation and potential accumulation of materials, are widely studied in the past decades [243][244][245]. Piezoelectric ceramics and single crystals are brittle and rigid with limited applications in wearable electronics [246]. Their organic alternatives, such as polymers and polymer composites are good candidates for textile energy harvesting systems [3].…”

Textile electronics have become an indispensable part of wearable applications because of their large flexibility, light-weight, comfort and electronic functionality upon the merge of textiles and microelectronics. As a result, the fabrication of functional fibrous materials and the integration of textile electronic devices have attracted increasing interest in the wearable electronic community. Challenges are encountered in the development of textile electronics in a way that is electrically reliable and durable, without compromising on the deformability and comfort of a garment, including processing multiple materials with great mismatches in mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties and assembling various structures with the disparity in dimensional scales and surface roughness. Equal challenges lie in high-quality and cost-effective processes facilitated by high-level digital technology enabled design and manufacturing methods. This work reviews the manufacturing of textile-shaped electronics via the processing of functional fibrous materials from the perspective of hierarchical architectures, and discusses the heterogeneous integration of microelectronics into normal textiles upon the fabric circuit board and adapted electrical connections, broadly covering both conventional and advanced textile electronic production processes. We summarize the applications of textile electronics explored so far in sensors, actuators, thermal management, energy fields, and displays. Finally, the main conclusions and outlook are provided while the fabrication and application of textile electronics are emphasized.

“…There is a large interest in developing textile-based solutions for power generation and storage. In terms of power generation, energy can be harvested from the body and external sources such as the sun using protective clothing and PPE as a substrate [249]. The latest developments include a flexible photovoltaic film 15 times thinner than paper [250], soft and flexible magnetoelastic generators harvesting body movements [251], and carbon nanotube fiber thermoelectric generators woven into a cotton fabric [252].…”

“…Evaporation-driven generation technology, in particular, leverages water, which covers more than 70% of the Earth's surface and is universally available, offering relatively fewer time and space restrictions than other generation methods [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. In addition, other research organizations are also investigating various materials for generator materials, which is expected to lower the cost of generator production in the future [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26].…”

Power generation technologies based on water movement and evaporation use water, which covers more than 70% of the Earth’s surface and can also generate power from moisture in the air. Studies are conducted to diversify materials to increase power generation performance and validate energy generation mechanisms. In this study, a water-based generator was fabricated by coating cellulose acetate with carbon black. To optimize the generator, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, specific surface area, zeta potential, particle size, and electrical performance analyses were conducted. The developed generator is a cylindrical generator with a diameter of 7.5 mm and length of 20 mm, which can generate a voltage of 0.15 V and current of 82 μA. Additionally, we analyzed the power generation performance using three factors (physical properties, cation effect, and evaporation environment) and proposed an energy generation mechanism. Furthermore, we developed an eco-friendly and low-cost generator using natural fibers with a simple manufacturing process. The proposed generator can contribute to the identification of energy generation mechanisms and is expected to be used as an alternative energy source in the future.
