Wearable electronic textiles (e‐textiles) have emerged as a transformative technology revolutionizing healthcare monitoring and communication by seamlessly integrating with the human body. However, their practical application has been limited by the lack of compatible and sustainable power sources. Various energy sources, including solar, thermal, mechanical, and wind, have been explored for harvesting, leading to diverse energy harvesting technologies, such as photovoltaic, thermoelectric, piezoelectric, and triboelectric systems. Notably, 2D materials have gained significant attention as attractive candidates for energy harvesting and storage in e‐textiles due to their unique properties, such as high surface‐to‐volume ratio, mechanical strength, and electrical conductivity. Textile‐based energy harvesters employing 2D materials offer promising solutions for powering next‐generation smart and wearable devices integrated into clothing. This comprehensive review explores the utilization of 2D materials in textile‐based energy harvesters, covering their preparation, fabrication, and characterization strategies. Recent advancements are highlighted, focusing on the integration of 2D materials and their practical implementations, shedding light on the performance and effectiveness of 2D‐material‐based energy harvesters in e‐textiles, and highlighting their potential as a sustainable alternative to conventional power supplies in wearable technologies.

“…33 Triggered by the pioneering studies on graphene and graphene exfoliation, a multitude of 2D layered nanomaterials have been developed, including transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), metal oxides, metal organic frameworks (MOFs), layered double hydroxides (LDHs), transition metal carbides/nitrides (MXenes), and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). 34 The emergence of 2D nanomaterials with unique electrochemical and electronic properties has sparked research interest in biomass valorization coupled with H2 production. In order to endow 2D nanomaterials with further improved catalytic performance, a wide range of design strategies have been developed including the heterojunction of two distinct materials, structure manipulation (e.g.…”

Electrocatalytic water splitting driven by renewable energy is a promising strategy for sustainable hydrogen production. However, the slow oxygen evolution reaction (OER) kinetics severely limit the rate of the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the overall energy conversion efficiency of the water electrolyzer. To overcome this challenge, hybrid water electrolysis systems have been developed which replace the sluggish OER with thermodynamically and kinetically favorable biomass (photo-)electro-oxidation. In addition, these system allow for the simultaneous production of value-added chemical products. This review highlights the design strategies related to the host structure remodeling and structure assembly design of two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial-based (photo)electrocatalysts, as well as their wide application in hybrid water electrolysis. Moreover, the current challenges and emerging strategies for the development of advanced (photo-)electrocatalysts and industrial-scale systems are emphasized.

“…Metal–organic chalcogenolates (MOChas) are self-assembling coordination polymers of a metal and an organic source of sulfur, selenium, or tellurium. Recently, compounds in this family have attracted interest for semiconducting properties, light–matter interactions, and catalytic activity. − Silver n- alkanethiolates − have drawn consistent interest as three-dimensional analogues to the well-studied self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on silver and gold metal surfaces and for their antimicrobial activity . However, a lack of a single-crystal structure because of small crystal sizes is a common refrain in reports of these and related compounds.…”

New synthetic hybrid materials and their increasing complexity have placed growing demands on crystal growth for single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Unfortunately, not all chemical systems are conducive to the isolation of single crystals for traditional characterization. Here, small-molecule serial femtosecond crystallography (smSFX) at atomic resolution (0.833 Å) is employed to characterize microcrystalline silver n-alkanethiolates with various alkyl chain lengths at X-ray free electron laser facilities, resolving long-standing controversies regarding the atomic connectivity and odd−even effects of layer stacking. smSFX provides high-quality crystal structures directly from the powder of the true unknowns, a capability that is particularly useful for systems having notoriously small or defective crystals. We present crystal structures of silver n-butanethiolate (C4), silver n-hexanethiolate (C6), and silver nnonanethiolate (C9). We show that an odd−even effect originates from the orientation of the terminal methyl group and its role in packing efficiency. We also propose a secondary odd−even effect involving multiple mosaic blocks in the crystals containing evennumbered chains, identified by selected-area electron diffraction measurements. We conclude with a discussion of the merits of the synthetic preparation for the preparation of microdiffraction specimens and compare the long-range order in these crystals to that of self-assembled monolayers.
