“…Figure 4g illustrates a good example of this configuration with a core-shell structure, sharing the same axis for all the modules. [138] As stated above, owing to the excellent knitting and weaving properties, fibershaped devices with diverse functionalities can be simultaneously woven into all-in-one integrated electronic fabrics or textiles. Recently, using an industrial loom technology, a flexible self-charging integrated electronic textile has been manufactured by bridging energy harvesting fibers and energy-storing fibers (Figure 4h).…”

safe, environmentally friendly, and costefficient energy storage technologies. Since renewable and green energy sources such as solar, wind, and tide are available only intermittently, batteries are an exceptionally promising technology to store electricity generated from such sources for later use at the peak consumption times in large scale networks. [1][2][3][4] Commercial lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with high energy density, cycle stability, and energy efficiency have dominated the energy storage field, and they provide a great convenience for our modern lives. [5,6] However, their further applications are hindered by safety concerns involving the use of harmful organic electrolytes and by the high cost of the appropriate electrode materials. [7,8] Lately, abundant sodium and potassium resources in nature have attracted much attention because of their similar chemical properties to lithium, where sodium-ion batteries and potassium-ion batteries have, thus, become promising alternatives for LIBs. [9][10][11][12] Although the issue of high cost can be solved using such novel battery materials, the usage of conventional organic electrolytes that are toxic and flammable still affects the safety of battery operation.

“…Recently, in order to substitute the external power source, multifunctional and coaxial energy fibers integrated functions of energy harvesting and energy storage have been developed. The energy fibers could power devices in a sustainable and continuous way without external power sources (Figure 9C) (Han et al, 2021). Similarly, electronic textiles with integrated functions can be constructed.…”

Wearable electronics are receiving increasing attention with the advances of human society and technologies. Among various types of wearable electronics, electronic fibers/textiles, which integrate the comfort and appearance of conventional fibers/textiles with the functions of electronic devices, are expected to play important roles in remote health monitoring, disease diagnosis/treatment, and human-machine interface. This article aims to review the recent advances in electronic fibers/textiles, thus providing a comprehensive guiding reference for future work. First, we review the selection of functional materials and fabrication strategies of fiber-shaped electronic devices with emphasis on the newly developed functional materials and technologies. Their applications in sensing, light emitting, energy harvest, and energy storage are discussed. Then, the fabrication strategies and applications of electronic textiles are summarized. Furthermore, the integration of multifunctional electronic textiles and their applications are summarized. Finally, we discuss the existing challenges and propose the future development of electronic fibers/textiles. INTRODUCTIONRecently, development of flexible and wearable electronics has been gradually prominent in our daily life (Park et al., 2018;Trung and Lee, 2016). Ideal wearable electronics possess characteristics of flexibility, light weight, easy to bind with human skin, and tolerating mechanical deformation, to satisfy the requirements of comfort and avoid interfering with normal activities of humans (Zeng et al., 2014). However, traditional electronics with high performance are mostly made of bulky and rigid inorganic materials, such as silicon or gallium arsenide, which are used for fabrication of complex planar circuits (Fan et al., 2008; Kim et al., 2009). The mechanical mismatch between rigid electronics and human skin has immensely prevented electronic devices from conformably attaching on the human body. Therefore, electronic devices are gradually developing toward flexibility and miniaturization to fulfill the requirements of wearing, and have developed from three dimensional (3D) rigid devices to low-dimensional and lightweight flexible devices. Electronics in forms of fibers and textiles, with advantages of good flexibility, light weight, breathability, and easiness of integration with traditional clothes, are one of the ideal form of wearables (Chatterjee et al., 2019).Although fibers have been used in human lives for thousands of years, the history of developing functional and intelligent fibers is not long. Before the emergence of flexible and wearable electronics, optical fibers and metal fibers were the representative functional fibers (Kao and Hockham, 1966;Wardclose and Partidge, 1990). Recently, with the progress of material science and nanotechnology, wearable electronic fibers/ textiles, including 1D fiber-shaped electronic devices (electronic fibers) and 2D/3D electronic textiles, which combine the flexibility and excellent mechanical properties of fib...

“…It displayed a ≈96.6% retention of cyclic stability, a maximum power of 2.5 μW, and a sensitivity of 1.003 V kPa −1 . [ 271 ] An integrated multifunctional sensor was also prepared by Pan et al., who created an all‐in‐one stretchable coaxial‐fiber sensor that simultaneously detects strain and stores energy via an SC. It was fabricated on an elastic fiber with a maximum voltage of 1.8 V by using manganese dioxide and PPv as positive and negative electrodes, respectively, on aligned CNT sheets.…”

Textile electronics embedded in clothing represent an exciting new frontier for modern healthcare and communication systems. Fundamental to the development of these textile electronics is the development of the fibers forming the cloths into electronic devices. An electronic fiber must undergo diverse scrutiny for its selection for a multifunctional textile, viz., from the material selection to the device architecture, from the wearability to mechanical stresses, and from the environmental compatibility to the end‐use management. Herein, the performance requirements of fiber‐shaped electronics are reviewed considering the characteristics of single electronic fibers and their assemblies in smart clothing. Broadly, this article includes i) processing strategies of electronic fibers with required properties from precursor to material, ii) the state‐of‐art of current fiber‐shaped electronics emphasizing light‐emitting devices, solar cells, sensors, nanogenerators, supercapacitors storage, and chromatic devices, iii) mechanisms involved in the operation of the above devices, iv) limitations of the current materials and device manufacturing techniques to achieve the target performance, and v) the knowledge gap that must be minimized prior to their deployment. Lessons learned from this review with regard to the challenges and prospects for developing fiber‐shaped electronic components are presented as directions for future research on wearable electronics.
