Do textile electronics have integrated energy storage solutions?

Yet to date, textile electronics still lack integrated energy storage solutions. This paper provides an overview and perspective on the field of textile energy storage with a specific emphasis on devices made from textiles or made as a fabric themselves.

How can textile-based energy harvesters and storage devices improve performance?

With the development of various textile-based energy harvesters and storage devices, integrating different kinds of energy devices is a promising method to achieve unprecedented performance.

Can textile antenna be used for unobtrusive wearable communication network?

Instead, textile antenna, which is composed of a textile conductive element and another textile material acting as substrate, is a promising candidate for constructing unobtrusive wearable communication network (Ali et al., 2020; Alonso-Gonzalez et al., 2019; Kennedy et al., 2009; Roh et al., 2010). Utilizing textile Figure 5.

Which materials can be used to fabricate textile supercapacitors with hierarchical structures?

Conductive polymer (e.g. PEDOT:PSS, PPy, and PANi) or 2D-material-coated yarns can be used to fabricate textile supercapacitors with hierarchical structures (Figures 3O) (Anasori et al., 2017; Qu et al., 2016; Sun et al., 2016; Xu et al., 2017).

Can a textile-based hybrid Harvester scavenge energy from two different sources?

As Figures 4C–4D show, a textile-based hybrid harvester integrates solar cells and TENGs to scavenge energy from two different sources, which enhances the system reliability when one of the energy sources is unavailable (Chen et al., 2016; Pu et al., 2016b).

What are textiles used for?

Textiles are platforms for (C and D) directly attaching wireless communication modules (Mishra et al., 2018; Niu et al., 2019), (E and F) seamlessly integrating antennas (Kiourti and Volakis, 2015; Xu et al., 2019), and (G and H) building wireless body sensor network (Lin et al., 2020; Tian et al., 2019).
