This paper presents a review of cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) sensors based on water and hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) mixtures for healthcare and human quality of life applications. First, an overview of the sensors system demands for healthcare and environmental sensing is presented in which there is also a discussion on the sensors technologies conventionally applied in these scenarios. Then, a discussion of the water‐HPC mixtures and the formation of the CLCs as well as their operation principle and fabrication methods is presented. Thereafter, the applications of such technologies for the assessment of different parameters related to biomechanics, medical conditions, and environment contamination are discussed in detail. Thus, the use of CLC sensors based on HPC membranes provides novel sustainable approaches for highly sensitive sensors systems with intuitive signal acquisition and analysis. For these reasons, one can envisage a widespread of such technologies due to the mentioned advantages in conjunction with low cost, flexibility in fabrication, simple signal processing, biocompatibility, and biodegradability.

“…12 However, dielectric structural capacitors have extremely low energy storage performance. The demand for research related to high-capacity energy storage, including various energy storage sources such as aqueous ammonium-ion batteries, 13 Li-ion batteries, 14 and Zn-air batteries, [15][16][17] is continuously increasing, as evidenced by ongoing research efforts. In order to improve the energy storage efficiency of capacitors, the simple phenomenon of ion transfer between the electrode and electrolyte was utilized.…”

In the present study, carbon nanofibers containing multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were fabricated and employed as electrodes for structural supercapacitors. Carbon nanofibers were utilized as the electrode material in structural supercapacitors to increase the specific surface area. Electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers underwent conversion to carbon nanofibers through stabilization and carbonization processes aided by thermal treatment. The specific surface area of the electrospun carbon nanofiber electrodes was further increased approximately 118 times (1946.9 m2/g) using an activation process in comparison with that of non‐activated carbon nanofibers (16.43 m2/g). Multifunctional supercapacitors were fabricated by employing electrospun carbon nanofibers and a vacuum resin infusion technique. The specific capacitance of activated carbon nanofibers (ACNF) and ACNF‐MWCNT exhibited significant improvement (14.87 and 48.25 mF/cm2, respectively) compared to non‐activated carbon nanofibers (CNF‐MWCNT: 1.71 mF/cm2). This improvement was attributed to the reduction in equivalent series resistance and the increase of the surface area of the nanofiber electrodes. Additionally, the carbon nanofiber electrodes contributed to an increased interlaminar fracture toughness of structural supercapacitors, acting akin to “Velcro” between fabric interfaces. This work serves as a “proof of concept” for a straightforward and efficient method to manufacture electrodes for structural supercapacitors based on the electrospinning technique.Highlights Fabrication of carbon nanofibers containing MWCNTs using electrospinning.

MXenes have been highly attractive to researchers owing to their layered nanostructure, excellent electrical conductivity, and abundance of functional groups. Meanwhile, nanocellulose materials, known for their biodegradability, renewability, compatibility with living organisms, and cost‐effectiveness, have emerged as a popular choice for material selection researchers. Recent research has discovered that combining nanocellulose with MXenes can improve the mechanical properties of MXenes, resulting in composite materials with remarkable electrical and mechanical properties. This article provides an overview of the three main types of nanocellulose: cellulose nanofiber, cellulose nanocrystal, and bacterial cellulose. It also discusses various synthesis methods for MXenes, including MXene/nanocellulose‐based hydrogel and aerogel. Additionally, the article highlights the multiple uses of MXene/nanocellulose composites in different fields, including flexible sensing materials, electromagnetic shielding, energy storage structures, and wearable health monitoring. This review covers distinctive characteristics and unique MXene/nanocellulose composite behaviors, their recent advancements in MXene/nanocellulose synthesis, and applications. Moving forward, the potential for these materials to be used innovatively with anticipation of taking the MXene/nanocellulose‐based research further steps across the respective scientific community.
