All-Printed, Stretchable Zn-Ag2O Rechargeable Battery via, Hyperelastic Binder for Self-Powering Wearable Electronics

DOI: 10.1002/aenm.201602096 of highly conductive fillers (>107 S m−1, silver nanowires and carbon nanomaterials) into an elastomeric matrix.[23] Unlike deterministic composite, these devices are intrinsically stretchable as fillers maintain electrical contact by sliding along each other during stretching.[22] Intrinsically stretchable batteries have been reported, but none are completely elasti...

Wearable Magnetic Field Sensors for Flexible Electronics

Highly flexible bismuth Hall sensors on polymeric foils are fabricated, and the key optimization steps that are required to boost their sensitivity to the bulk value are identified. The sensor can be bent around the wrist or positioned on the finger to realize an interactive pointing device for wearable electronics. Furthermore, this technology is of great interest for the rapidly developing ma...

Sustainably powering wearable electronics solely by biomechanical energy

Harvesting biomechanical energy is an important route for providing electricity to sustainably drive wearable electronics, which currently still use batteries and therefore need to be charged or replaced/disposed frequently. Here we report an approach that can continuously power wearable electronics only by human motion, realized through a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) with optimized mater...

Inkjet printed flexible antenna on textile for wearable applications

We report a direct write inkjet printing technique for fabricating a flexible antenna on textile for use in smart textile applications such as wearable systems (Rienzo et al. 2006). The complete antenna was deposited entirely using inkjet printing. The inkjet printed antenna is based on a half wavelength dipole antenna offering a planar structure and acceptable size. The printable silver nanopa...
