Abstract
Endowing aqueous supercapacitors (SCs) with high voltage is of great practical significance, but it is restricted by the water decomposition reaction occurring in the electrodes. Here, a novel surface treatment strategy is proposed to inhibit the hydrogen evolution reaction/oxygen evolution reaction at the cathode and anode by forming a passivation layer at the whole electrode surface, which widens the electrochemical stability window of the electrode and working voltage of the aqueous SCs. In addition, the cathode overpotential is increased from -1.3 to -1.48 V, and the anode is expanded from 1.42 to 1.59 V. Importantly, the aqueous SCs can work stably at 3 V operating voltage, enabling the coulombic efficiency and capacitance retention of the optimized SCs is 97% and 96% after 5000 cycles, respectively. This strategy of surface modification provides effective guidance to achieve high-voltage aqueous energy storage devices.

Abstract
In the modern era, realizing highly efficient supercapacitors (SCs) derived through green routes is paramount to reducing environmental impact. This study demonstrates ways to recycle and reuse used waste dry cell anodes to synthesize nanohybrid electrodes for SCs. Instead of contributing to landfill and the emission of toxic gas to the environment, dry cells are collected and converted into a resource for improved SC cells. The high performance of the electrode was achieved by exploiting battery-type polyoxometalate (POM) clusters infused on a reduced graphene oxide (rGO) surface. Polyoxometalate (K5[α-SiMo2VW9O40]) assisted in the precise bottom-up reduction of graphene oxide (GO) under UV irradiation at room temperature to produce vanadosilicate embedded photo-reduced graphene oxide (prGO-Mo2VW9O40). Additionally, a chemical reduction route for GO (crGO) was trialed to relate to the prGO, followed by the integration of a faradaic monolayer (crGO-Mo2VW9O40). Both composite frameworks exhibit unique hierarchical heterostructures that offer synergic effects between the dual components. As a result, the hybrid material's ion transport kinetics and electrical conductivity enhance the critical electrochemical process at the electrode's interface. The simple co-participation method delivers a remarkable specific capacity (capacitance) of 405 mA h g-1 (1622 F g-1) and 117 mA h g-1 (470 F g-1) for prGO-Mo2VW9O40 and crGO-Mo2VW9O40 nanocomposites alongside high capacitance retentions of 94.5% and 82%, respectively, at a current density of 0.3 A g-1. Furthermore, the asymmetric electrochromic supercapacitor crGO//crGO-Mo2VW9O40 was designed, manifesting a broad operating potential (1.2 V). Finally, the asymmetric electrode material resulted in an enhanced specific capacity, energy, and power of 276.8 C g-1, 46.16 W h kg-1, and 1195 W kg-1, respectively, at a current density of 0.5 A g-1. The electrode materials were tested in the operating of a DC motor.

Abstract
Graphene is a promising active material for electric double layer supercapacitors (EDLCs) due to its high electric conductivity and lightweight nature. However, for practical uses as a power source of electronic devices, a porous structure is advantageous to maximize specific energy density. Here, we propose a facile fabrication approach of mesoporous graphene (m-G), in which self-assembled mesoporous structures of poly(styrene)-block-poly(2-vinylpyridine) copolymer (PS-b-P2VP) are exploited as both mesostructured catalytic template and a carbon source. Notably, the mesostructured catalytic template is sufficient to act as a rigid support without structural collapse, while PS-b-P2VP converts to graphene, generating m-G with a pore diameter of ca. 3.5 nm and high specific surface area of 186 m2/g. When the EDLCs were prepared using the obtained m-G and ionic liquids, excellent electrochemical behaviors were achieved even at high operation voltages (0 ∼ 3.5 V), including a large specific capacitance (130.2 F/g at 0.2 A/g), high-energy density of 55.4 W h/kg at power density of 350 W/kg, and excellent cycle stability (>10,000 cycles). This study demonstrates that m-G is a promising material for high-performance energy storage devices.

Abstract
This work demonstrates ionic liquid electrolyte-inscribed sweat-based dual electrolyte functioning supercapacitors capable of self-charging through sweat electrolyte function under a non-enzymatic route. The supercapacitor electrodes are fabricated from TREN (tris(2-aminoethyl)amine), poly-3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene, and a graphene oxide mixture with copper-mediated chelate, and this polymer-GO-metal chelate film can produce excellent energy harvest/storage performance from a sweat and ionic liquid integrated electrolyte system. The fabricated device is specifically designed to reduce deterioration using a typical planar structure. In the presence of sweat with ionic liquid, the dual electrolyte mode supercapacitor exhibits a maximum areal capacitance of 3600 mF cm-2 , and the energy density is 450 mWhcm-2 , which is more than 100 times greater than that from previously reported supercapacitors. The supercapacitors were fabricated/attached directly to textile fabrics as well as ITO-PET (Indium tin oxide (ITO)-polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film to study their performance on the human body during exercise. The self-charging performance with respect to sweat wetting time for the sweat@ionic liquid dual electrolyte showed that the supercapacitor performed well on both fabric and film. These devices exhibited good response for pH effect and biocompatibility, and as such present a promising multi-functional energy system as a stable power source for next-generation wearable smart electronics.

Abstract
The demand for portable and wearable chemical or biosensors and their expeditious development in recent years has created a scientific challenge in terms of their continuous powering. As a result, mechanical energy harvesters such as piezoelectric and triboelectric generators (TEGs) have been explored recently either as sensors or harvesters to store charge in small, but long-life, energy-storage devices to power the sensors. The use of energy harvesters as sensors is particularly interesting, as with such multifunctional operations it is possible to reduce the number devices needed in a system, which also helps overcome the integration complexities. In this regard, TEGs are promising, particularly for energy autonomous chemical and biological sensors, as they can be developed with a wide variety of materials, and their mechanical energy to electricity conversion can be modulated by various analytes. This review focuses on this interesting dimension of TEGs and presents various self-powered active chemical and biological sensors. A brief discussion about the development of TEG-based physical, magnetic, and optical sensors is also included. The influence of environmental factors, various figures of merit, and the significance of TEG design are explained in context with the active sensing. Finally, the key applications, challenges, and future perspective of chemical and biological detection via TEGs are discussed with a view to drive further advances in the field of self-powered sensors.

Abstract
The increasing number of devices needed by wearable systems to bring radical advances in healthcare, robotics, and human-machine interfaces is a threat to their growth if the integration and energy-related challenges are not managed. A natural solution is to reduce the number of devices while retaining the functionality or simply using multifunctional devices, as demonstrated here through a stretchable supercapacitor (SSC) with intrinsic strain sensing. The presented SSC was obtained by electrodeposition of nanoflower MnOx on fabric (as a pseudocapacitive electrode) and three-dimensional conductive wrapping of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) to boost the performance. Among fabricated devices, the stretchable PEDOT:PSS/MnOx/PEDOT:PSS supercapacitor (SPMP-SC) showed the best performance (specific capacitance of 580 mF·cm-2 (108.1 F·g-1); energy density of 51.4 μWh·cm-2 at 0.5 mA). The stretchability (0-100%; 1000 cycles) analysis of SPMP-SC with Ecoflex encapsulation showed high capacitance retention (>90% for 40% stretch). The intrinsic strain sensing of the SSC was confirmed by the linear variation of capacitance (sensitivity -0.4%) during stretching. Finally, as a proof-of-concept, the application of SSC with intrinsic sensing was demonstrated for health monitoring through volumetric expansion of a manikin during ventilator operation and in robotics and by measuring the joint angle of a robotic hand.

Abstract
The continuous operation of wearable electronics demands reliable sources of energy, currently met through Li-ion batteries and various energy harvesters. These solutions are being used out of necessity despite potential safety issues and unsustainable environmental impact. Safe and sustainable energy sources can boost the use of wearables systems in diverse applications such as health monitoring, prosthetics, and sports. In this regard, sweat- and sweat-equivalent-based studies have attracted tremendous attention through the demonstration of energy-generating biofuel cells, promising power densities as high as 3.5 mW cm-2 , storage using sweat-electrolyte-based supercapacitors with energy and power densities of 1.36 Wh kg-1 and 329.70 W kg-1 , respectively, and sweat-activated batteries with an impressive energy density of 67 Ah kg-1 . A combination of these energy generating, and storage devices can lead to fully energy-autonomous wearables capable of providing sustainable power in the µW to mW range, which is sufficient to operate both sensing and communication devices. Here, a comprehensive review covering these advances, addressing future challenges and potential solutions related to fully energy-autonomous wearables is presented, with emphasis on sweat-based energy storage and energy generation elements along with sweat-based sensors as applications.

Abstract
The booming development of carbon materials is of great value for diverse applications, owing to their superior electron conductivity, unique structures, and excellent cycle lifetime. This study presents two hierarchically structured amorphous carbon materials for asymmetric supercapacitor (ASC) device: i) the MOFs-derived urchin-like amorphous carbon anchored on nickel foam (UAC@NF) as positive electrode; ii) high temperature activated graphite carbon felt (GF500) as negative electrode. This ASC device achieves a higher energy density of 0.036 mWh cm-3 at a power density of 0.984 mW cm-3 and demonstrates better cycling performance with 91.4% capacitance retention after 10,000 cycles, compared with the other carbon-based supercapacitor. In addition, the UAC@NF after 10,000 cycles displays much better adsorption performance for Pb (II) compared with the unused UAC@NF. We have demonstrated the relationship between carbon materials' structure and performance by combining experiment and theoretical calculation. Predominantly, our work can provide a new direction for the common development of amorphous carbon materials in the field of energy and environment.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) have attracted much attention owing to their distinctive 0D chemical structure, ultra-small size, and intrinsic surface/edge defects, and have been widely used in many kinds of research fields. In this work, a facile method to synthesize an oxygen vacancy-rich doped CDs@graphite felt-600 heterostructure with outstanding electrochemical properties is presented. The electron spin resonance (ESR) provides clear evidence for the existence of abundant oxygen vacancies in the CDs@graphite felt-600 heterostructure. The as-synthesized CDs@graphite felt-600 shows superior areal specific capacitance (5.99 F cm-2), due to abundant oxygen vacancies and extensive surface/edge defects in the heterostructure. In addition, a home-made coin cell supercapacitor (SC) with CDs@graphite felt-600 as the electrode delivers a large areal energy density of 20.7 μW h cm-2 at a power density of 150.0 μW cm-2. To determine the charge storage mechanism at the interface of CDs@graphite felt-600, the binding energies between the CDs and graphite felt are calculated by density functional theory (DFT).

Abstract
Exfoliated and reassembled graphite (ERG) forms macroscopic, high aspect ratio (1 : >106) and highly conductive coating layers that are strongly adherent to paper, wood, cloth, ceramic and other substrates. The coating precursor is an aqueous dispersion of graphite that exfoliates spontaneously in alkaline cellulose solutions, forming stable dispersions. These can be applied to the substrates by using different painting, coating and lithography techniques. The coating morphology changes from highly smooth to porous and rough, depending on the finishing procedure used. Coated paper sheets are flexible and they perform as leads in electrical circuitry and as electrodes in electrodeposition, supercapacitors, hygroelectricity cells and other electrochemical devices suitable for flexible and wearable electronics. These unique properties of ERG are explained as a consequence of the amphiphilic character of cellulose, which allows it to play the roles of exfoliant, dispersant, stabilizer, adhesive and plasticizer, while graphite powder is transformed into a cohesive laminated nanocomposite.

Abstract
Thermally conductive composites have attracted great attention in virtue of their crucial role in thermal management. In this work, laminated composites were prepared by laying graphite films (GF) and carbon fiber fabrics (CF) in a certain order, then penetrating thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), finally hot-pressing. In order to enhance the inter-layer strength, the graphite films were perforated with arrays of 1 mm holes in diameter which have intervals of 4 mm and permit the seeping of liquid TPU through them. The in-plane thermal conductivity (TC) of composite reaches 242 W m-1 K-1 with the loading of 25 vol% GF and 60 vol% CF, which is 1210 times that of pure TPU. The great improvement of TC is ascribed to the thermal conductive pathways formed by continuous GF with ultrahigh TC. The addition of CF enhances markedly the mechanical properties of composites. Bending strength and modulus of composites are 5.56 and 17.09 times that of pure TPU, respectively. The proposed design and manufacture method are facile and effective to obtain polymeric composites simultaneously with high TC and good mechanical properties.

Abstract
The Printed Electronics (PE) is expected to revolutionise the way electronics will be manufactured in the future. Building on the achievements of the traditional printing industry, and the recent advances in flexible electronics and digital technologies, PE may even substitute the conventional silicon-based electronics if the performance of printed devices and circuits can be at par with silicon-based devices. In this regard, the inorganic semiconducting materials-based approaches have opened new avenues as printed nano (e.g. nanowires (NWs), nanoribbons (NRs) etc.), micro (e.g. microwires (MWs)) and chip (e.g. ultra-thin chips (UTCs)) scale structures from these materials have been shown to have performances at par with silicon-based electronics. This paper reviews the developments related to inorganic semiconducting materials based high-performance large area PE, particularly using the two routes i.e. Contact Printing (CP) and Transfer Printing (TP). The detailed survey of these technologies for large area PE onto various unconventional substrates (e.g. plastic, paper etc.) is presented along with some examples of electronic devices and circuit developed with printed NWs, NRs and UTCs. Finally, we discuss the opportunities offered by PE, and the technical challenges and viable solutions for the integration of inorganic functional materials into large areas, 3D layouts for high throughput, and industrial-scale manufacturing using printing technologies.

Abstract
The on-chip system-compatible power supply shows a high demand for the rapid development of miniaturization devices, such as wireless sensors, remote detecting devices, etc. Moreover, the ever-increasing trends of multifunctionalities and long-term working conditions of such devices raise a high-performance standard for the power supply. Herein, the high-performance electrochemical energy storage micro-supercapacitors (MSCs) are obtained with a metal current collector-free symmetric graphene-based planar structure, in which the functional group of graphene was regulated extensively via fully compatible microfabrication techniques of blue-violet (BV) laser exposure and air plasma treatment. BV laser exposure enhanced the electrical conductivity by reducing the substantial functional groups. Furthermore, the wettability and active sites are tuned by air plasma treatment, thus creating a slightly functional group onto the graphene surface. The resulting reduced graphene oxide (RGO) shows a very low resistance down to 27.2 Ω sq-1, ensuring its superb electron conductivity for fast electron transfer during the electrochemical reactions. The electrochemical performance measurements reveal an areal capacitance as high as 21.86 mF cm-2, which delivers a power density of 5 mW cm-2 with an energy density of 2.49 μWh cm-2. Moreover, it shows superior long-term stability with 99% retention after 10 000 cycles, which is beyond that of most of the reported graphene-based all-solid-state MSCs.

Abstract
A sweat-based flexible supercapacitor (SC) for self-powered smart textiles and wearable systems is presented. The developed SC uses sweat as the electrolyte and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) as the active electrode. With PEDOT:PSS coated onto cellulose/polyester cloth, the SC shows specific capacitance of 8.94 F g-1 (10 mF cm-2 ) at 1 mV s-1 . With artificial sweat, the energy and power densities of the SC are 1.36 Wh kg-1 and 329.70 W kg-1 , respectively for 1.31 V and its specific capacitance is 5.65 F g-1 . With real human sweat the observed energy and power densities are 0.25 Wh kg-1 , and 30.62 W kg-1 , respectively. The SC performance is evaluated with different volumes of sweat (20, 50, and 100 µL), bending radii (10, 15, 20 mm), charging/discharging stability (4000 cycles), and washability. With successful on-body testing, the first demonstration of the suitability of a sweat-based SC for self-powered cloth-based sensors to monitor sweat salinity is presented. With attractive performance and the use of body fluids, the presented approach is a safe and sustainable route to meet the power requirements in wearable systems.

Abstract
There is a growing demand for developing wearable sensors that can non-invasively detect the signs of chronic diseases early on to possibly enable self-health management. Among these the flexible and stretchable electrochemical pH sensors are particularly important as the pH levels influence most chemical and biological reactions in materials, life and environmental sciences. In this review, we discuss the most recent developments in wearable electrochemical potentiometric pH sensors, covering the key topics such as (i) suitability of potentiometric pH sensors in wearable systems; (ii) designs of flexible potentiometric pH sensors, which may vary with target applications; (iii) materials for various components of the sensor such as substrates, reference and sensitive electrode; (iv) applications of flexible potentiometric pH sensors, and (v) the challenges relating to flexible potentiometric pH sensors.

Abstract
Inspired by biology, significant advances have been made in the field of electronic skin (eSkin) or tactile skin. Many of these advances have come through mimicking the morphology of human skin and by distributing few touch sensors in an area. However, the complexity of human skin goes beyond mimicking few morphological features or using few sensors. For example, embedded computing (e.g. processing of tactile data at the point of contact) is centric to the human skin as some neuroscience studies show. Likewise, distributed cell or molecular energy is a key feature of human skin. The eSkin with such features, along with distributed and embedded sensors/electronics on soft substrates, is an interesting topic to explore. These features also make eSkin significantly different from conventional computing. For example, unlike conventional centralized computing enabled by miniaturized chips, the eSkin could be seen as a flexible and wearable large area computer with distributed sensors and harmonized energy. This paper discusses these advanced features in eSkin, particularly the distributed sensing harmoniously integrated with energy harvesters, storage devices and distributed computing to read and locally process the tactile sensory data. Rapid advances in neuromorphic hardware, flexible energy generation, energy-conscious electronics, flexible and printed electronics are also discussed. This article is part of the theme issue 'Harmonizing energy-autonomous computing and intelligence'.

Abstract
In this work, we present a potentiometric pH sensor on textile substrate for wearable applications. The sensitive (thick film graphite composite) and reference electrodes (Ag/AgCl) are printed on cellulose-polyester blend cloth. An excellent adhesion between printed electrodes allow the textile-based sensor to be washed with a reliable pH response. The developed textile-based pH sensor works on the basis of electrochemical reaction, as observed through the potentiometric, cyclic voltammetry (100 mV/s) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic (10 mHz to 1 MHz) analysis. The electrochemical double layer formation and the ionic exchanges of the sensitive electrode-pH solution interaction are observed through the electrochemical impedance spectroscopic analysis. Potentiometric analysis reveals that the fabricated textile-based sensor exhibits a sensitivity (slope factor) of 4 mV/pH with a response time of 5 s in the pH range 6–9. The presented sensor shows stable response with a potential of 47 ± 2 mV for long time (2000 s) even after it was washed in tap water. These results indicate that the sensor can be used for wearable applications.
