Abstract
This study used a modified polyol technique to synthesize silver nanowires (AgNWs), which were subsequently mixed with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) polymer and air-dried under ambient conditions. As a result, AgNWs/PVA nanocomposites with a concentration of 2% were prepared by a casting process. After that, the upper surface of the produced samples was treated with H2S gas, as a result of which asymmetric structures were formed depending on the gas concentration, exposure time and penetration into the layers. The structural, morphological, and optical properties of these asymmetric structures were analyzed. Changes in the sample structure were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), their optical properties were studied using ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), Raman spectroscopy, and their morphology using Transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A simple technique involving H2S gas was used for the sulfidation process of the samples, marking the first exposure of AgNW/PVA nanocomposites to such treatment. Examination of the structural and optical properties of the surfaces revealed clear differences in their physical properties after sulfidation. These obtained results were also supported by TEM images. Finally, the successful production of AgNWs/PVA/Ag2S anisotropic structure was achieved by this method.

Abstract
Template-patterned, flexible transparent electrodes (TEs) formed from an ultrathin silver film on top of a commercial optical adhesive - Norland Optical Adhesive 63 (NOA63) - are reported. NOA63 is shown to be an effective base-layer for ultrathin silver films that advantageously prevents coalescence of vapor-deposited silver atoms into large, isolated islands (Volmer-Weber growth), and so aids the formation of ultrasmooth continuous films. 12 nm silver films on top of free-standing NOA63 combine high, haze-free visible-light transparency (T ≈ 60% at 550 nm) with low sheet-resistance (R s ${\mathcal{R}}_s$ ≈ 16 Ω sq-1), and exhibit excellent resilience to bending, making them attractive candidates for flexible TEs. Etching the NOA63 base-layer with an oxygen plasma before silver deposition causes the silver to laterally segregate into isolated pillars, resulting in a much higher sheet resistance (R s ${\mathcal{R}}_{s}$ > 8 × 106 Ω sq-1) than silver grown on pristine NOA63 . Hence, by selectively etching NOA63 before metal deposition, insulating regions may be defined within an otherwise conducting silver film, resulting in a differentially conductive film that can serve as a patterned TE for flexible devices. Transmittance may be increased (to 79% at 550 nm) by depositing an antireflective layer of Al2O3 on the Ag layer at the cost of reduced flexibility.

Abstract
We theoretically studied the introduction of static electric fields to Ag10 nanowire dimer systems, including the effects of this field on optical absorption characteristics and the orbitals responsible for these excitations. Linear-response time-dependent density functional theory computations were performed on three distinct dimer systems: end-to-end, parallel, and 90° angle dimer systems separated by a closest interparticle distance of 7.0 Å. The calculations were performed in the presence of a 0.1 V/Å electric field strength applied in the z and y directions. The orientation of the dimer system and the direction of the applied static electric field each play a significant role in the resulting absorption spectra and the electronic structure of the nanowires. As a result, a dimer system can exhibit a blue shift for the longitudinal excitation and a red shift for the transverse excitation in the presence of one direction of the static electric field but not for the other direction. Notably, the electron density shifts from one nanowire to the other in the presence of the static electric field. Changes in optical characteristics and electronic structure suggest that the usage of a static electric field with a particular spatial configuration of nanowires provides a way to tune the optical properties of the system.

Abstract
Transparent heaters (THs) find widespread application in various indoor and outdoor settings, such as LCD panels and motorcycle helmet visors. Among the materials used for efficient TH performance, the AgNW network stands out due to its high conductivity, substantial transmittance, and minimal solution requirement. Extensive research has been directed towards enhancing AgNW characteristics, focusing on smaller diameters and longer wires. In TH applications, the primary considerations include a rapid response and elevated temperature. Consequently, this research delves into investigating the impact of parameters like diameter, length, and density on random AgNW networks under varying applied voltages. The finite element method is employed for analyzing temperature changes in response to voltage application, particularly in scenarios involving small-scale setups with high-density and high-percolation AgNW networks. The results reveal a significant increase in the thermal transition rate, ranging from 28% to 36%, with varying densities in the random network. Within the same density, the AgNW network with larger diameters and lengths demonstrates the highest temperatures, aligning with previous calculations. Furthermore, a trade-off exists between optical properties in smaller diameters and electrical properties in larger diameters within a relatively narrow temperature range.

Abstract
Extensive studies have been carried out on silver nanowires (AgNWs) in view of their impressive conductivity and highly flexible one-dimensional structure. They are seen as a promising choice for producing deformable transparent conductors. Nonetheless, the widespread adoption of AgNW-based transparent conductors is hindered by critical challenges represented by the significant contact resistance at the nanowire junctions and inadequate interfacial adhesion between the nanowires and the substrate. This study presents a novel solution to tackle the aforementioned challenges by capitalizing on liquid metal microcapsules (LMMs). Upon exposure to acid vapor, the encapsulated LMMs rupture, releasing the fluid LM which then forms a metallic overlay and hybridizes with the underlying Ag network. As a result, a transparent conductive film with greatly enhanced electrical and mechanical properties was obtained. The transparent conductor displays negligible resistance variation even after undergoing chemical stability, adhesion, and bending tests, and ultrasonic treatment. This indicates its outstanding adhesion strength to the substrate and mechanical flexibility. The exceptional electrical properties and robust mechanical stability of the transparent conductor position it as an ideal choice for direct integration into flexible touch panels and wearable strain sensors, as evidenced in this study. By resolving the critical challenges in this field, the proposed strategy establishes a compelling roadmap to navigate the development of high-performance AgNW-based transparent conductors, setting a solid foundation for further advancement in the field of deformable electronics.

Abstract
Currently, electromagnetic shielding materials need to meet the characteristics of lightweight, high transmittance, and robust conductivity. Silver nanowires (AgNWs) have progressively found applications in recent years owing to their excellent aspect ratio, conductivity, and flexibility. The properties of AgNWs vary with different aspect ratios, and the length and diameter of AgNWs often exert diverse influences on the photoelectric properties of conductive films. In this study, we combined AgNWs with hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) and employed a directional stacking arrangement method to apply AgNWs onto the PET substrate, investigating the properties of four distinct aspect ratios of AgNWs (1000, 750, 625, and 531). Ultimately, the prepared four films achieved electromagnetic shielding capabilities ranging from 26.6 dB to 32.8 dB, with a transmittance range of 89.8% to 94.6%, showing excellent electromagnetic shielding properties. Moreover, the prepared films showed an exceedingly low roughness value (RMS = 7.07 nm), remarkable flexibility, and superior oxidation resistance with the facilitation of HPMC. The films also showed exceptional electrothermal conversion prowess, achieving saturation temperature within a mere 8 seconds, thereby displaying a rapid thermal response. Furthermore, when a voltage of 4 V was applied, the temperature of the thin film remained essentially constant for a duration of 2500 seconds, highlighting its admirable thermal stability, which is of great significance for the development of flexible and transparent electromagnetic shielding materials in the future.

Abstract
The creation of functional components with precise chemistries on carbohydrate polymers is of great significance for future wearable biomedicine and health management. Among various carbohydrate polymers, marine polysaccharide featured with antimicrobial, biodegradable and biocompatible properties is an ideal platform while the water-swelling nature makes it difficult to form stable interface. Here, well-dispersed silver nanoparticles have been in-situ assembled on hydrated alginate fabric (AF), involving chemical absorption of Ag ions and in-situ reduction of conductive Ag layer. Owing to the stable complex formed between Ag ions and carboxyl groups, the Ag-grafted AF exhibits superior Joule heating capability, including low operating voltage (1-3 V), high saturation temperature (63 °C), rapid response time (25 s) and outstanding durability against harsh conditions. Furthermore, the Ag-grafted AF demonstrates noticeable inhibition against E. coli and S. aureus as compared with the pristine AF. This work provides a rational strategy for the functionalization of hydrated polysaccharide and enables wearable thermotherapy devices for human health management.

Abstract
This study presents a method for fabricating a film-based heating element using a polymer material with an array of intersecting conductive elements embedded within it. Track-etched membranes (TM) with a thickness of 10μm were used as the template, and their pores were filled with metal, forming a three-dimensional grid. Due to the unique manufacturing process of TM, the pores inside intersect with each other, allowing for contacts between individual nanowires (NWs) when filled with metal. Experimental results demonstrated that filling the TM pores with silver allows for heating temperatures up to 78 degrees without deformation or damage to the heating element. The resulting flexible heating element can be utilized in medical devices for heating purposes or as a thermal barrier coating.

Abstract
Silver nanowires (AgNWs) are important materials for flexible transparent electrodes (FTEs). However, the loose stacking of nanowire junctions greatly affects the electric conductivity across adjacent nanowires. Soldering can effectively reduce the wire-wire contact resistance of AgNWs by epitaxially depositing nanosolders at the junctions, but the process normally needs to be performed with high energy consumption. In this work, we proposed a simple room-temperature method to achieve precise welding of junctions by adjusting the wettability of the soldered precursor solution on the surfaces of AgNWs. The nanoscale welding at nanowire cross junctions forms efficient conductive networks. Furthermore, reduced graphene oxide (rGO) was used to improve the stability of FTEs by wrapping the rGO around the AgNW surface. The obtained FTE shows a figure-of-merit (FoM) of up to 439.3 (6.5 Ω/sq at a transmittance of 88%) and has significant bending stability and environmental and acidic stability. A flexible transparent heater was successfully constructed, which could reach up to 160 °C within a short response time (43 s) and exhibit excellent switching stability. When laminating this FTE onto half perovskite solar cells as the top electrodes, the obtained double-side devices achieved power conversion efficiencies as high as 16.15% and 13.91% from each side, pointing out a convenient method for fabricating double-sided photovoltaic devices.

Abstract
High-strength nonmetallic materials with low infrared (IR) emission are rare in nature, yet highly anticipated especially in military and aerospace fields for thermal camouflage, IR stealth, energy-saving heating. Here, we reported a high-strength (422 MPa) nonmetallic film with very low IR emissivity (12%), realized by constructing alternating multilayered structures consisting of successive MXene functionalized outer layers and continuous GO reinforced inner layers. This nonmetallic film is capable of competing with typical stainless steel (415 MPa, 15.5%), and exhibits remarkable thermal camouflage performance (ΔT = 335 °C), ultrahigh Joule heating capability (350 °C at 2 V), excellent solar-to-thermal conversion efficiency (70.2%), and ultrahigh specific electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness (83 429 dB cm-1). Impressively, these functionalities can be maintained well after prolonged outdoor aging, and even after undergoing harsh application conditions including strong acid/alkali and boiling water immersion, and cryogenic (-196 °C) temperature.

By using a spatially modulated, one single laser spot is modulated into an array of spots with equal intensity, and the fabrication speed can be improved by more than 20 times over the traditional single pulse processing. In addition, copper mesh electrodes with a high photoelectric property have been fabricated. A transparent touch screen panel and multifunctional windows are fabricated with transparent electrodes to demonstrate their use in vehicle defogging, portable heating, and wearable devices.

Abstract
Despite progress in the field of electrochromic devices, developing structural color-tunable photonic systems having both high transparency and flexibility remains challenging. Here, an ink-deposited transparent electrochromic structural colored foil displaying reflective colors, tuned by an integrated heater, is prepared in a single-substrate method. Efficient and homogeneous heating is induced by a gravure printed silver nanowire-based substrate, delivering an electrothermal response upon applying an electrical potential. On top of this flexible, transparent heater, a cholesteric liquid crystal ink is bar-coated and subsequently photopolymerized, yielding a structural colored film that exhibits temperature-responsive color changes. The transparent electrochromic foils appear colorless at room temperature but demonstrate structural color tuning with high optical quality when modifying the electrical potential. Both optical and electrothermal performances were preserved when deforming the foils. Applying the conductive and structural colored inks via the easy processable, continuous methods of gravure printing and bar-coating highlights the potential for scaling up to large-scale stimuli-responsive, transparent optical foils. These transparent structural colored foils can be potentially used for a wide range of photonic devices including smart windows, displays, and sensors and can be directly installed on top of curved, flexible surfaces.

Abstract
Copper nanowires (CuNWs)-based thin film is one of the potential alternatives to tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) in terms of transparent conductive films (TCFs). However, the severe problem of atmospheric oxidation restricts their practical applications. In this work, we develop a simple approach to fabricate highly stable TCFs through the dip-coating method using reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and CuNWs as the primary materials. Compared with previous works using toxic reduction agents, herein, the CuNWs are synthesized via a green aqueous process using glucose and lactic acid as the reductants, and rGO is prepared through the modified Hummers' method followed by a hydrogen-annealing process to form hydrogen-annealing-reduced graphene oxide (h-rGO). In the rGO/CuNWs films, the dip-coated graphene oxide layer can increase the adhesion of the CuNWs on the substrate, and the fabricated h-rGO/CuNWs can exhibit high atmospheric oxidation resistance and excellent flexibility. The sheet resistance of the h-rGO/CuNWs film only increased from 25.1 to 42.2 Ω/sq after exposure to ambient atmosphere for 30 days and remained almost unchanged after the dynamic bending test for 2500 cycles at a constant radius of 5.3 mm. The h-rGO/CuNWs TCF can be not only fabricated via a route with a superior inexpensive and safe method but also possessed competitive optoelectronic properties with high electrical stability and flexibility, demonstrating great opportunities for future optoelectronic applications.

Abstract
With their soaring technological demand, flexible and stretchable electronics have attracted many researchers' attention for a variety of applications. The challenge which was identified a decade ago and still remains, however, is that the conventional electrodes based on indium tin oxide (ITO) are not suitable for ultra-flexible electronic devices. The main reason is that ITO is brittle and expensive, limiting device performance and application. Thus, it is crucial to develop new materials and processes to construct flexible and stretchable electrodes with superior quality for next-generation soft devices. Herein, various types of conductive nanomaterials as candidates for flexible and stretchable electrodes are briefly reviewed. Among them, silver nanowire (AgNW) is selected as the focus of this review, on account of its excellent conductivity, superior flexibility, high technological maturity, and significant presence in the research community. To fabricate a reliable AgNW-based conductive network for electrodes, different processing technologies are introduced, and the corresponding characteristics are compared and discussed. Furthermore, this review summarizes strategies and the latest progress in enhancing the conductive pathway. Finally, we showcase some exemplary applications and provide some perspectives about the remaining technical challenges for future research.

Abstract
High-performance electrical heaters with outstanding flexibility, superior portability, and mechanical properties are highly desirable for portable thermal management. However, it is still a huge challenge to simultaneously achieve competent electrical heating performances and excellent mechanical properties. Herein, inspired by the Janus structure, versatile electrical heaters are developed via a sequential assembly followed by a hot-pressing strategy. The elaborately designed Janus structure is composed of a nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) layer and a partially wrapped silver nanowire (AgNW) skeleton in the NFC substrate. Owing to the perfect introduction of nano-soldered points induced by thermal welding decoration, the resultant NFC/AgNW papers (NAPs) possess great flexibility, excellent mechanical strength (176.75 MPa), extremely low sheet resistance (0.60 Ω/sq), and superior electrical stabilities against mechanical deformations. Moreover, benefitting from these fascinating attributes, the NAP-based electrical heaters exhibit a remarkable heating temperature (∼220 °C), ultrafast electro-thermal response (<10 s), and groundbreaking long-term stability (∼105 °C for >186 h) and repeatability (>20,000 cycles) with low AgNW contents and driving voltages (0.5-5.0 V), which far surpass those of the previously reported and conventional indium tin oxide-based Joule heaters. Impressively, large-area production feasibilities of NAPs are demonstrated and assembled into multifunctional applications, including personal thermal management, healthcare thermotherapy, multifunctional cups, and smart homes, indicating their promising potential for wearable devices, artificial intelligence, and specific heating systems in the fields of aerospace, military, and intelligent life.

Abstract
Effective thermal management is quite urgent for electronics owing to their ever-growing integration degree, operation frequency and power density, and the main strategy of thermal management is to remove excess energy from electronics to outside by thermal conductive materials. Compared to the conventional thermal management materials, flexible thermally conductive films with high in-plane thermal conductivity, as emerging candidates, have aroused greater interest in the last decade, which show great potential in thermal management applications of next-generation devices. However, a comprehensive review of flexible thermally conductive films is rarely reported. Thus, we review recent advances of both intrinsic polymer films and polymer-based composite films with ultrahigh in-plane thermal conductivity, with deep understandings of heat transfer mechanism, processing methods to enhance thermal conductivity, optimization strategies to reduce interface thermal resistance and their potential applications. Lastly, challenges and opportunities for the future development of flexible thermally conductive films are also discussed.

Abstract
The development of wearable devices has stimulated significant engineering and technologies of textile electronics (TEs). Improving sensing, energy-storing, and electro-heating capabilities of TEs is still challenging but crucial for their practical applications. Herein, a drip-coating method that constructs a dense β-FeOOH scaffold on a nylon strip for enhancing polypyrrole loading is proposed, which facilitates the fabrication of highly conductive and hydrophobic PFCNS (polypyrrole/β-FeOOH/nylon strip). The space provided by the β-FeOOH scaffold increases the mass of polypyrrole on fibers from 1.1 (polypyrrole/nylon strip) to 3.0 mg cm-2 (polypyrrole/β-FeOOH/nylon strip), which decreases the resistance from 104.96 to 34.29 Ω cm-1. The PFCNS exhibits a linear elastic modulus of 0.758 MPa within 150% strain, performs a unique resistance variation mechanism, and enables great sensing capability with rapid response time (140 ms), long durability (10,000 stretching-recovering), and effective movement monitoring (e.g., breathing, back bending, jumping). The sensing signals for knee bending have been analyzed in detail by combining with both stretching and pressing response mechanisms. The PFCNS electrode attains a diffusion-controlled capacitance of 574 mF cm-2 and discharging-capacitance of 916 mF cm-2. Furthermore, an interdigitally parallel connection is proposed, which assists the PFCNS heater in achieving high temperature (84 °C) at a low voltage (4 V). This work provides a simple route for nylon-based TEs and promises satisfactory application in wearable sensors, power sources, and heaters.

Abstract
Over the past years, disposable masks have been produced in unprecedented amounts due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Their increased use imposes significant strain on current waste management practices including landfilling and incineration. This results in large volumes of discarded masks entering the environment as pollutants, and alternative methods of waste management are required to mitigate the negative effects of mask pollution. While current recycling methods can supplement conventional waste management, the necessary processes result in a product with downgraded material properties and a loss of value. This work introduces a simple method to upcycle mask waste into multifunctional carbon fibers through simple steps of thermal stabilization and pyrolysis. The pre-existed fibrous structure of polypropylene masks can be directly converted into carbonaceous structures with high degrees of carbon yield, that are inherently sulfur-doped, and porous in nature. The mask-derived carbon product demonstrates potential use in multiple applications such as for Joule heating, oil adsorption, and the removal of organic pollutants from aqueous environments. We believe that this process can provide a useful alternative to conventional waste management by converting mask waste generated during the COVID-19 pandemic into a product with enhanced value.

Abstract
Transparent glass with metal mesh is considered a promising strategy for high performance transparent glass heaters (TGHs). However, the realization of simple, low-cost manufacture of high performance TGHs still faces great challenges. Here, a technique for the fabrication of high performance TGHs is proposed using liquid sacrificial substrate electric-field-driven (LS-EFD) microscale 3D printing of thick film silver paste. The liquid sacrificial substrate not only significantly improves the aspect ratio (AR) of silver mesh, but also plays a positive role in printing stability. The fabricated TGHs with a line width of 35 µm, thickness of 12.3 µm, and pitch of 1000 µm exhibit a desirable optoelectronic performance with sheet resistance (Rs ) of 0.195 Ω sq-1 and transmittance (T) of 88.97%. A successful deicing test showcases the feasibility and practicality of the manufactured TGHs. Moreover, an interface evaporator is developed for the coordination of photothermal and electrothermal systems based on the high performance TGHs. The vapor generation rate of the device reaches 10.69 kg m-2 h-1 with a voltage of 2 V. The proposed technique is a promising strategy for the cost-effective and simple fabrication of high performance TGHs.

Abstract
Herein, state-of-the-art research advances in South Korea regarding the development of chemical sensing materials and fully integrated Internet of Things (IoT) sensing platforms were comprehensively reviewed for verifying the applicability of such sensing systems in point-of-care testing (POCT). Various organic/inorganic nanomaterials were synthesized and characterized to understand their fundamental chemical sensing mechanisms upon exposure to target analytes. Moreover, the applicability of nanomaterials integrated with IoT-based signal transducers for the real-time and on-site analysis of chemical species was verified. In this review, we focused on the development of noble nanostructures and signal transduction techniques for use in IoT sensing platforms, and based on their applications, such systems were classified into gas sensors, ion sensors, and biosensors. A future perspective for the development of chemical sensors was discussed for application to next-generation POCT systems that facilitate rapid and multiplexed screening of various analytes.

Abstract
In this study, we present the observation of the giant magnetoelastic effect that occurs in soft elastomer systems without the need of external magnetic fields and possesses a magnetomechanical coupling factor that is four times larger than that of traditional rigid metal-based ferromagnetic materials. To investigate the fundamental scientific principles at play, we built a linear model by using COMSOL Multiphysics, which was consistent with the experimental observations. Next, by combining the giant magnetoelastic effect with electromagnetic induction, we developed a magnetoelastic generator (MEG) for biomechanical energy conversion. The wearable MEG demonstrates an ultrahigh output current of 97.17 mA, a low internal impedance of around ∼40 Ω, and an intrinsic waterproof property. We further leveraged the wearable MEG as an ultrahigh current power source to drive a Joule-heating textile for personalized thermoregulation, which increased the temperature of the fiber-shaped resistor by 0.2 °C. The development of the wearable MEG will act as an alternative and compelling approach for on-body electricity generation and arouse a wide range of possibilities in the renewable energy community.

Abstract
AbstractThickness-controlled transparent conducting films (TCFs) were fabricated by transfer printing a 100 nm thick Cu micromesh structure onto poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) substrates of different thicknesses (~ 50, ~ 80, and ~ 120 μm) to develop a lightweight transparent wearable heater with short response time. The Cu mesh-based TCF fabricated on a ~ 50 µm thick PVA substrate exhibited excellent optical and electrical properties with a light transmittance of 86.7% at 550 nm, sheet resistance of ~ 10.8 Ω/sq, and figure-of-merit of approximately 236, which are comparable to commercial indium tin oxide film-based transparent conductors. The remarkable flexibility of the Cu mesh-based TCF was demonstrated through cyclic mechanical bending tests. In addition, the Cu mesh-based TCF with ~ 50 μm thick PVA substrate demonstrated a fast Joule heating performance with a thermal response time of ~ 18.0 s and a ramping rate of ~ 3.0 ℃/s under a driving voltage of 2.5 V. Lastly, the reliable response and recovery characteristics of the Cu mesh/PVA film-based transparent heater were confirmed through the cyclic power test. We believe that the results of this study is useful in the development of flexible transparent heaters, including lightweight deicing/defogging films, wearable sensors/actuators, and medical thermotherapy pads.

Direct Fabrication of Micron-Thickness PVA-CNT Patterned Films by Integrating Micro-Pen Writing of PVA Films and Drop-on-Demand Printing of CNT Micropatterns. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11092335.

Abstract
The direct fabrication of micron-thickness patterned electronics consisting of patterned PVA films and CNT micropatterns still faces considerable challenges. Here, we demonstrated the integrated fabrication of PVA films of micron-thickness and CNT-based patterns by utilising micro-pen writing and drop-on-demand printing in sequence. Patterned PVA films of 1-5 μm in thickness were written first using proper micro-pen writing parameters, including the writing gap, the substrate moving velocity, and the working pressure. Then, CNT droplets were printed on PVA films that were cured at 55-65 °C for 3-15 min, resulting in neat CNT patterns. In addition, an inertia-pseudopartial wetting spreading model was established to release the dynamics of the droplet spreading process over thin viscoelastic films. Uniform and dense CNT lines with a porosity of 2.2% were printed on PVA substrates that were preprocessed at 55 °C for 9 min using a staggered overwriting method with the proper number of layers. Finally, we demonstrated the feasibility of this hybrid printing method by printing a patterned PVA-CNT film and a micro-ribbon. This study provides a valid method for directly fabricating micron-thickness PVA-CNT electronics. The proposed method can also provide guidance on the direct writing of other high-molecular polymer materials and printing inks of other nanosuspensions.

Abstract
Epidermal electronic systems for detecting electrophysiological signals, sensing, therapy, and drug delivery are at the frontier in man-machine interfacing for healthcare. However, it is still a challenge to develop multifunctional bioapplications with minimal invasiveness, biocompatibility, and stable electrical performance under various mechanical deformations of biological tissues. In this study, a natural silk protein with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is utilized to realize an epidermal electronic tattoo (E-tattoo) system for multifunctional applications that address these challenging issues through dispersing highly conductive CNTs onto the biocompatible silk nanofibrous networks with porous nature to construct skin-adhesive ultrathin electronic patches. Individual components that incorporate electrically and optically active heaters, a temperature sensor (temperature coefficient of resistance of 5.2 × 10-3 °C-1 ), a stimulator for drug delivery (>500 µm penetration depth in skin), and real-time electrophysiological signal detectors are described. This strategy of E-tattoos integrated onto human skin can open a new route to a next-generation electronic platform for wearable and epidermal bioapplications.

Abstract
Flexible resistive heaters (FRHs) with high heating performance, large-area thermal homogeneity, and excellent thermal stability are very desirable in modern life, owing to their tremendous potential for portable and wearable thermal management applications, such as body thermotherapy, on-demand drug delivery, and artificial intelligence. Printed electronic (PE) technologies, as emerging methods combining conventional printing techniques with solution-processable functional ink have been proposed to be promising strategies for the cost-effective, large-scale, and high-throughput fabrication of printed FRHs. This review summarizes recent progress in the main components of FRHs, including conductive materials and flexible or stretchable substrates, focusing on the formulation of conductive ink systems for making printed FRHs by a variety of PE technologies including screen printing, inkjet printing, roll-to-roll (R2R) printing and three-dimensional (3D) printing. Various challenges facing the commercialization of printed FRHs and improved methods for portable and wearable thermal management applications have been discussed in detail to overcome these problems.

Abstract
In this paper, the eco-friendly plant polyphenol, tannic acid (TA) was demonstrated as a non-covalent modifier for carbon nanotubes (CNTs), as well as a stripping medium to achieve exfoliated graphite to graphene by microfluidization. High-performance transparent flexible heater (TFH) with an embedded structure had been successfully fabricated by integrating conductive nanocomposites (TA-functionalized grapheme/TA-functionalized CNT/PEDOT:PSS; TG/TCNT/PEDOT) into waterborne polyurethane (WPU) film. Such a film exhibited favorable optical transmittance and sheet resistance (T = ca. 80% at 550 nm, Rs = 62.5 Ω/sq.), low root mean square (rms) roughness (approximately 0.37 nm), excellent adhesion and mechanical stability (the sheet resistance remained almost constant after 1000 bending cycle test for the bending radius of 10 mm), which are ideal as transparent heaters with high thermal efficiency. For TG/TCNT/PEDOT-WPU TFHs, the temperature increased rapidly and reached a steady state within 20 s with the maximum temperature reached to 116 °C, when the applied voltage was 20 V. Moreover, no variation in temperature was observed after the repeated heating-cooling tests and long-time stability test, indicating that TG/TCNT/PEDOT-WPU TCFs can be used as high performance TFHs. These TFH's are expected to be suitable for vehicle defrosting, smart windows, portable heating, smart wearable devices, etc.

Abstract
Natural graphite flakes possess high theoretical thermal conductivity and can notably enhance the thermal conductive property of polymeric composites. Currently, because of weak interaction between graphite flakes, it is hard to construct a three-dimensional graphite network to achieve efficient heat transfer channels. In this study, vertically aligned and interconnected graphite skeletons were prepared with graphene oxide serving as bridge and support via freeze-casting method. Three freezing temperatures were utilized, and the resulting graphite and graphene oxide network was filled in a polymeric matrix. Benefiting from the ultralow freezing temperature of -196 °C, the network and its composite occupied a more uniform and denser structure, which lead to enhanced thermal conductivity (2.15 W m-1 K-1) with high enhancement efficiency and prominent mechanical properties. It can be significantly attributed to the well oriented graphite and graphene oxide bridges between graphite flakes. This simple and effective strategy may bring opportunities to develop high-performance thermal interface materials with great potential.

Abstract
The increasing demand for smart fabrics has inspired extensive research in the field of nanomaterial-based wearable heaters. However, existing stretchable heaters employ polymer substrates, and hence require additional substrate-fabric bonding that can result in high thermal contact resistance. Moreover, currently used stretchable fabric heaters suffer from high sheet resistance and require complex fabrication processes. In addition, conventional fabrication methods do not allow for patternability, thus hindering the fabrication of wearable heaters with diverse designs. Herein, we propose an improved spray coating method well suited for the preparation of patternable heaters on commercial fabrics, combining the structural stability of carbon nanotubes with the high electrical conductivity of Ag nanowires to fabricate a stretchable fabric heater with excellent mechanical (stretchability ≈ 50%) and electrical (sheet resistance ≈ 22 Ω sq-1) properties. The fabricated wearable heater reaches typical operating temperatures of 35 °C-55 °C at a low driving voltage of 3-5 V with a proper surface power density of 26.6-72.2 [Formula: see text] (heater area: [Formula: see text]) and maintains a stable heating temperature for more than 30 h. This heater shows a stable performance even when folded or rolled, thus being well suited for the practical wearable applications.

Abstract
The demand for wearable, stretchable soft electronics for human-machine interface applications continues to grow given the potential of these devices in humanoid robotics, prosthetics, and health-monitoring devices. We demonstrate fabrication of multifunctional sensors with simultaneous temperature-, pressure-, proximity-, and strain (or bending)-sensing capabilities, combined with heating and UV-protection features. These multifunctional sensors are flexible, light, and transparent and are thus body-attachable. Silver nanowires are supersonically sprayed on a large-scale transparent and flexible roll-to-roll substrate. The junctions between nanowires are physically fused by a strong impact resulting from supersonic spraying, which promotes adhesion and efficient deposition of the nanowire network. Accordingly, nanowires are strongly interconnected, facilitating efficient propagation of electric signals through the fused nanowire network, which allows simultaneous operation of such sensors while maintaining significant transparency. These multifunctional sensors are mechanically durable and retain long-term stability. A theoretical discussion is provided to explain the respective mechanisms of heating and proximity, pressure, and strain sensing.

Abstract
High-performance and rapid response electrical heaters with ultraflexibility, superior heat resistance, and mechanical properties are highly desirable for the development of wearable devices, artificial intelligence, and high-performance heating systems in areas such as aerospace and the military. Herein, a facile and efficient two-step vacuum-assisted filtration followed by hot-pressing approach is presented to fabricate versatile electrical heaters based on the high-performance aramid nanofibers (ANFs) and highly conductive Ag nanowires (AgNWs). The resultant ANF/AgNW nanocomposite papers present ultraflexibility, extremely low sheet resistance (minimum Rs of 0.12 Ω/sq), and outstanding heat resistance (thermal degradation temperature above 500 °C) and mechanical properties (tensile strength of 285.7 MPa, tensile modulus of 6.51 GPa with a AgNW area fraction of 0.4 g/m2), benefiting from the partial embedding of AgNWs into the ANF substrate and the extensive hydrogen-bonding interactions. Moreover, the ANF/AgNW nanocomposite paper-based electrical heaters exhibit satisfyingly high heating temperatures (up to ∼200 °C) with rapid response time (10-30 s) at low AgNW area fractions and supplied voltages (0.5-5 V) and possess sufficient heating reliability, stability, and repeatability during the long-term and repeated heating and cooling cycles. Fully functional applications of the ANF/AgNW nanocomposite paper-based electrical heaters are demonstrated, indicating their excellent potential for emerging electronic applications such as wearable devices, artificial intelligence, and high-performance heating systems.

Abstract
We report a novel and simple approach for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles capped with inositol (Ag NPs/Ino) by the reduction of silver salt with ascorbic acid under basic conditions. UV-vis, TEM, FTIR and TGA techniques were used to characterize the Ag NPs/Ino to determine the size, shape and surface modification of the NPs. Stable silver nano-ink was prepared in aqueous solution containing 1% PVP (stabilizer) and glycerol (cosolvent) and was used for the direct-writing of a paper electrode with a roller ball-point pen for electrochemical applications. The solvent, stabilizing agents, concentration of NPs (10%), paper substrate, sintering temperature (40 °C) and sintering time (15 min) were optimized to obtain a uniform coating of Ag NPs on the paper substrate. Further, the synthesis and fabrication of ZnO NPs on a paper substrate was put forward to design a touch pad device based on the piezoelectric effect. The preparation of paper based devices suggests a direction for the development of a simple, low cost and compatible approach for the direct-writing of paper based flexible electrodes and electronics for future applications.

Abstract
In this paper, hybrid transparent conductive films (TCFs) are designed by combining silver nanowires with the single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and the transparent heating films (THFs) based on the TCFs are evaluated for possible vehicle applications. By comparing the properties, including the transmittance, sheet resistance, microstructure and heating curves, we found that the SWCNTs/AgNWs are considerably suitable for making THFs. The after-treatment methods, such as physical method (hot roll pressing) and chemical method (nitric acid and Poly (diallydimethylammonium chloride) solution, (PDAC)) were researched in detail to optimize the sheet resistance and transparency to fit the THF requirements. A careful study of the different after-treatment methods revealed that hot roll pressing can quickly and efficiently improve the properties, while the nitric acid is more helpful than PDAC for the long-term stability. The results showed that a small amount of SWCNTs addition can promote the endurable maximum electric current by spreading the heat fast and efficiently, and the maximum current flow can be as high as 4 A. The thermal stability of the THFs and the de-frog performance were tested, indicating that the hybrid film had an advantage in resisting current shock and good thermal efficiency was obtained. The fabricated TCFs of stable thermal properties are qualified as a windshield-glass heater.

Abstract
Thermal management materials (TMMs) used in electronic devices are crucial for future electronics and technologies such as flexible electronics and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. As future electronics will work in a more complicated circumstance, the overheating and overcooling problems can exist in the same electronics while the common TMMs cannot meet the demand of thermal management for future electronics. In this work, nacre-mimetic graphene-based films with super flexibility and durability (in over 10,000 tensile cycles), excellent capability to dissipate excess heat (20.84 W/(m·K) at only 16-22 μm thickness), and outstanding heating performance to generate urgent heat for electronics under extremely cold conditions are fabricated by a facile solution casting method, and the fabricated composites are proved to be superior multifunctional TMMs for the thermal management in electronic chips. In addition, the application of the paper-like films with high in-plane thermal conductivity to a flexible heat spreader and film heater is demonstrated by simulation using a finite volume method, which shows the high importance of the in-plane thermal conductivity in thermal management of electronics.

Abstract
Flexible transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) are widely applied in flexible electronic devices. Among these electrodes, silver (Ag) nanowires (NWs) have gained considerable interests due to their excellent electrical and optical performances. Ag NWs with a one-dimensional nanostructure have unique characteristics from those of bulk Ag. In past 10 years, researchers have proposed various synthesis methods of Ag NWs, such as ultraviolet irradiation, template method, polyol method, etc. These methods are discussed and summarized in this review, and we conclude that the advantages of the polyol method are the most obvious. This review also provides a more comprehensive description of the polyol method for the synthesis of Ag NWs, and the synthetic factors including AgNO3 concentration, addition of other metal salts and polyvinyl pyrrolidone are thoroughly elaborated. Furthermore, several problems in the fabrication of Ag NWs-based TCEs and related devices are reviewed. The prospects for applications of Ag NWs-based TCE in solar cells, electroluminescence, electrochromic devices, flexible energy storage equipment, thin-film heaters and stretchable devices are discussed and summarized in detail.

Abstract
A high-performance, flexible, and transparent heater based on a hybrid of dry-spun carbon nanotubes (CNT), which is pulled out directly from a super vertically aligned CNT forest, and graphene is fabricated. The electrical, optical, and electromechanical properties of two different kinds of hybrid devices, graphene above or below the CNT film, and simple CNT film heating devices that are made of one or two layers of CNTs, are studied. The results prove that the hybrid structured film heaters are superior to the simple CNT film heaters. The simple single-layer CNT film and double-layer CNT film heaters attain maximum temperatures of 48 and 64 °C with transmittances of 73 and 64% at a wavelength of 550 nm, respectively, whereas the single-layer CNT sheet/graphene/PET and graphene/single-layer CNT sheet/PET hybrid heaters attain maximum temperatures of 81 and 85 °C with transmittances of 68 and 71%, respectively. The 10 000 bending cycle test suggests that the graphene/single-layer CNT sheet/PET heater has good mechanical and thermal stability. Further, defrost test and portable heating with a 9 V battery prove the possibility of using the hybrid heater for vehicle defrosting, portable heating, and wearable devices.
