“…Since this property is strongly dependent on structure and morphology, only ZnO grown on textile substrates in the form of a one-dimensional wurtzite nanocrystal structure, such as nanorods (NRs) and nanowires (NWs), can create a transparent conductive network with excellent electrical conductivity, low sheet resistance, and mechanical flexibility (Figure 12) [98,[146][147][148][149]. To synthesize the ZnO NR array layer in situ on the surface of textile fibers, solvothermal [89], hydrothermal [98], ultrasonic irradiation [10], sol-gel [90,95], spin-coating [150], electro-deposition [9,111], and atomic layer deposition [93] methods were recently used. piezoelectric and semiconducting properties of the ZnO NRs enabled the textile substrates to harvest mechanical energy from human bodies and act as the mechanical sensing and monitoring devices ( Figure 13).…”

“…To this end, ZnO-benzene-1,4-diol superlattice coatings were deposited on a cotton surface with a predeposited aluminum oxide seed layer [93]; a cotton surface was coated with Sb-ZnO or Ag-ZnO nanocomposites [89]; keratin/polylactic acid fibers were coated with ZnOgraphene quantum dots [150]; ZnO NRs were synthesized in situ on the surface of Ag-coated flax To enhance the electrical conductivity, appropriate external dopants were also used in combination with ZnO. To this end, ZnO-benzene-1,4-diol superlattice coatings were deposited on a cotton surface with a predeposited aluminum oxide seed layer [93]; a cotton surface was coated with Sb-ZnO or Ag-ZnO nanocomposites [89]; keratin/polylactic acid fibers were coated with ZnO-graphene quantum dots [150]; ZnO NRs were synthesized in situ on the surface of Ag-coated flax [95] and polyamide [98] fabrics; ZnO NRs were grown in situ on reduced graphene oxide [111] and gold [9] layers previously prepared on silk fabrics; finally, Mn-doped porous dodecahedral or star-shaped ZnO was applied to decorate carbon nanofibers [151]. To provide simultaneous electrical conductivity and hydrophobicity to cotton fibers, ZnO was applied in combination with tetradecanoic acid [81].…”

The use of ZnO for the functionalization of textile substrates is growing rapidly, since it can provide unique multifunctional properties, such as photocatalytic self-cleaning, antimicrobial activity, UV protection, flame retardancy, thermal insulation and moisture management, hydrophobicity, and electrical conductivity. This paper aims to review the recent progress in the fabrication of ZnO-functionalized textiles, with an emphasis on understanding the specificity and mechanisms of ZnO action that impart individual properties to the textile fibers. The most common synthesis and application processes of ZnO to textile substrates are summarized. The influence of ZnO concentration, particle size and shape on ZnO functionality is presented. The importance of doping and coupling procedures to enhance ZnO performance is highlighted. The need to use binding and seeding agents to increase the durability of ZnO coatings is expressed. In addition to functional properties, the cytotoxicity of ZnO coatings is also discussed. Future directions in the use of ZnO for textile functionalization are identified as well.

“…Despite the increased roughness of the coating due to the presence of NPs, the coating's resistance to abrasion was not hindered. ZnO/Ag nanocomposites were also used to generate simultaneous UV blocking, self-cleaning and antimicrobial properties of textiles [57,63,64]. Similar to the case of the Ag/TiO 2 nanocomposite [61], simultaneous colouration and functional fi nishing of the cotton fabric was carried out with the use of Ag/ZnO nanocomposite colloids under ultrasound irradiation, and vivid coloured multifunctional cotton fabric samples were prepared [63].…”

Ultraviolet (UV) protection fi nishes, which are sometimes referred to as UV shielding agents, represent one of the most important groups of chemical fi nishing agents applied to textile materials, with the goal of protecting people and textile materials from the harmful eff ects of UV radiation. Th e energy of UV radiation, which is signifi cantly higher than that of visible light, has the potential to initiate diff erent chemical reactions that may be hazardous to human health and can deteriorate textile fi bres. Although moderate sun exposure has benefi cial health eff ects, overexposure to UV radiation may result in serious harmful health eff ects since both UVA (320-400 nm) and UVB (280-320 nm) rays induce diff erent cellular responses that manifest as pigmentation, sunburn, skin ageing, skin cancer and DNA damage [1-3]. Th e disadvantages of longterm exposure of textiles to UV weathering are associated with the cleavage of diff erent chemical bonds by the absorbed UV radiation, which leads to

“…The conducting polymers are promising to its flexible nature and favorable for the TE applications. However, most of the conducting polymers are expensive and required complex synthesis procedure to achieve high electrical conductivity [63][64][65]. So the efforts have to be made for finding an alternative for fabricating flexible materials of TE applications and composites have recently been appealing more consideration such as thermopower, easy process ability, cost effective, Table 3.…”

Traditional materials for thermoelectric such as bismuth telluride have been studied and utilized commercially for the last half century, but recent advancements in materials selection are one of the principal function of the active thermoelectric device as it determines the reliability of the fabrication regarding technical and economic aspects. Recently, many researcher's efforts have been made to utilize oxide nanomaterials for wearable thermoelectric power generator (WTPG) applications which may provide environmental stable, mechanical flexibility, and light weight with low cost of manufacturing. In precise, fabric containing oxide metals have shown great promise as P−/N-type materials with improved transport and UV shielding properties. On the other hand, we have focused on ZnO nanostructures as a high-efficiency WTPG material because they are non-toxic to skin, inexpensive and easy to obtain and possess attractive electronic properties, which means that they are available for clothing with low-cost fabrication. To our observation, we are chaptering about the thermoelectric properties of ZnO and their composite nanostructures coated cotton fabric via the solvothermal method for the first time.
