“…Given potential applications such as smart textiles and wearable electronics, bending stability is a crucial parameter that fiber-shaped OECTs must address. 35 To determine the bending stability of our fiber-shaped vOECTs, we subjected them to 500 bending cycles at a 5 mm bending radius. As shown in Figure 3a,d, after 500 bending cycles, both pand n-type devices maintain a transconductance retention rate of over 60% and I ON /I OFF still exceeding 10 3 .…”

Converging the fibrous flexibility and resilience with the advantageous electrical properties of organic electrochemical transistors (OECTs), fiber-shaped OECTs possess great potential in wearable electronics. However, limited by current highly recognized fabrication techniques for film devices, micrometer-scale patterning capability of electrodes and semiconductor channels on the curved surface of fibers is still challenging. In addition, the well-defined short channel length of fibershaped OECTs is highly desired to narrow the performance gap with planar OECT devices. In this study, the fabrication of photopatterned vertical OECT devices on fiber surfaces (fiber-shaped vOECTs) is achieved. Moreover, the first n-type fiber-shaped vOECTs and high-performance ptype fiber-shaped vOECTs are realized. The fiber-shaped vOECT devices work in enhancement mode, with remarkable maximum transconductance (p-type: 41.10 mS, n-type: 2.25 mS) and current on/off ratio (∼10 4 ), together with good cycling stability (maintaining over 90% of performance beyond 500 cycles). Furthermore, by using knitting and weaving fabric textures, complementary inverter, NAND and NOR logic gates integrated through fiber-shaped vOECTs are derived and showcased. This study demonstrates the potential of this approach as a universal platform for fabricating high-performance semiconductor devices.

“…On the whole-body scale, fabricating fibers and yarns with functional materials and their assembly as networks and devices could advance the future of e-textiles toward “Fiber-of-Things” (FoT) . This hierarchical integration could enable multiplexed sensing and energy conversion, allowing for self-sufficient collection and analysis of information across multiple signal dimensions . For instance, a self-powered smart textile integrated with multifunctional fibers could simultaneously monitor multidimensional health situations, providing a comprehensive view of an individual’s physiological state in real-time.…”

Building two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) micro-and nanofibril structures with designable patterns and functionalities will offer exciting prospects for numerous applications spanning from permeable bioelectronics to tissue engineering scaffolds. This Spotlight on Applications highlights recent technological advances in fiber printing and patterning with functional materials for biointerfacing applications. We first introduce the current state of development of micro-and nanofibers with applications in biology and medical wearables. We then describe our contributions in developing a series of fiber printing techniques that enable the patterning of functional fiber architectures in three dimensions. These fiber printing techniques expand the material library and device designs, which underpin technological capabilities from enabling fundamental studies in cell migration to customizable and ecofriendly fabrication of sensors. Finally, we provide an outlook on the strategic pathways for developing the next-generation bioelectronics and "Fiber-of-Things" (FoT) using nano/micro-fibers as architectural building blocks.

Merging textiles with advanced energy harvesting technology via triboelectric effects brings novel insights into self-powered wearable textile electronics. However, fabrication of a comfortable textile-based triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) with high outputs remains challenging. Herein, we propose a highly flexible, tailorable, single-electrode all-textile TENG (t-TENG) with both wear comfort and high outputs. A dielectric modulated porous composite coating containing poly(vinylidene fluoride)hexafluoropropylene copolymer and barium titanate nanoparticles is constructed on conductive fabric to counterpart with highly positive glass fiber fabric through knotted yarn bonding, maintaining the superiority of textiles and strong triboelectricity. Through the synergistic optimization of charge storage via dielectric modulation and charge dissipation offset by electrical poling, remarkable outputs (261 V, 1.5 μA, and 12.7 nC) are obtained from a miniaturized, lightweight t-TENG (2 × 2 cm 2 , 130 mg) with an instantaneous power density of 654.48 mW•m −2 , as well as excellent electrical robustness and device durability over 20,000 cycles. The t-TENG also exhibits a high sensitivity of 3.438 V•kPa −1 in the force region (1−10 N), demonstrating great potential in TENG-based intelligent sports sensing applications for monitoring and correcting the basketball shooting hand and foot arch posture. Furthermore, over 110 light-emitting diode arrays can be lightened up by gently tapping this miniaturized t-TENG. It also offers a wearable power source scheme through integrating the single-electrode device into clothing and utilizing the skin as the grounded electrode, revealing its ease of integration and biomechanical energy harvesting capability. This work provides an attractive paradigm for next-generation textile electronics with well-balanced device performance and wear comfort.
