“…This review briefly discusses two different aspects of MXene based sensors such as piezoresistive (mechanical) sensors and electrochemical and luminescent biosensors. MXene based mechanical sensors give a wide horizon of opportunities in the biomedical field like wearable electronics, [30] therapeutic applications, [31] etc. In contrast, the biosensors cover sensors for detecting analytes such as biomolecules, biomarkers and drug molecules.…”

MXenes are a family of two-dimensional multifunctional materials in a rapid development phase since their discovery in 2011. MXenes possess excellent features like high conductivity and surface area, improved mechanical properties, hydrophilicity, and ability to tune the surface properties with modifying functional groups. These features make MXenes suitable candidates for a wide range of applications, including biomedical and energy storage. This review is focused on various types of MXenes which are recently reported for sensor applications. The current scenario regarding fabrication and properties of MXenes are initially described, followed by a discussion of their applications as piezoresistive and biochemical sensors. This involves mechanical strain detection and detection of biomolecules, biomarkers, and drug molecules relevant to biomedical applications. Finally, the future perspectives are briefly discussed, which will help the researchers identify the limitations for the current scenario and develop new strategies that focus on developing novel, efficient and sensitive MXene based sensors.

“…Aluminum (Al) [32] and Cu [34,[42][43][44] have been proposed as alternatives to Ag, but they are not stable against oxidation, due to the formation of an insulating oxide layer that can affect the final conductivity of the ink greatly [32]. The advent of a new class of materials called MXenes has also been widening their application in printed electronics, overcoming the drawbacks of conductive inks such as poor conductivity [45].…”

The rapid growth in wearable technology has recently stimulated the development of conductive textiles for broad application purposes, i.e., wearable electronics, heat generators, sensors, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding, optoelectronic and photonics. Textile material, which was always considered just as the interface between the wearer and the environment, now plays a more active role in different sectors, such as sport, healthcare, security, entertainment, military, and technical sectors, etc. This expansion in applied development of e-textiles is governed by a vast amount of research work conducted by increasingly interdisciplinary teams and presented systematic review highlights and assesses, in a comprehensive manner, recent research in the field of conductive textiles and their potential application for wearable electronics (so called e-textiles), as well as development of advanced application techniques to obtain conductivity, with emphasis on metal-containing coatings. Furthermore, an overview of protective compounds was provided, which are suitable for the protection of metallized textile surfaces against corrosion, mechanical forces, abrasion, and other external factors, influencing negatively on the adhesion and durability of the conductive layers during textiles’ lifetime (wear and care). The challenges, drawbacks and further opportunities in these fields are also discussed critically.

“…Electrical energy gives a faster life to everyone, i.e., fast manufacturing in industries, faster transport, and faster communication. All of these things have increased the demand for low-cost micro-electronic devices [ 1 , 2 ]. With the research developments, the conventional electronic devices are converted into portable electronic devices, wireless sensor networks (WSNs), and micro-energy harvesting (MEH) systems.…”

This paper reviews energy storage systems, in general, and for specific applications in low-cost micro-energy harvesting (MEH) systems, low-cost microelectronic devices, and wireless sensor networks (WSNs). With the development of electronic gadgets, low-cost microelectronic devices and WSNs, the need for an efficient, light and reliable energy storage device is increased. The current energy storage systems (ESS) have the disadvantages of self-discharging, energy density, life cycles, and cost. The ambient energy resources are the best option as an energy source, but the main challenge in harvesting energy from ambient sources is the instability of the source of energy. Due to the explosion of lithium batteries in many cases, and the pros associated with them, the design of an efficient device, which is more reliable and efficient than conventional batteries, is important. This review paper focused on the issues of the reliability and performance of electrical ESS, and, especially, discussed the technical challenges and suggested solutions for ESS (batteries, supercapacitors, and for a hybrid combination of supercapacitors and batteries) in detail. Nowadays, the main market of batteries is WSNs, but in the last decade, the world’s attention has turned toward supercapacitors as a good alternative of batteries. The main advantages of supercapacitors are their light weight, volume, greater life cycle, turbo charging/discharging, high energy density and power density, low cost, easy maintenance, and no pollution. This study reviews supercapacitors as a better alternative of batteries in low-cost electronic devices, WSNs, and MEH systems.
