Abstract
The construction of the preferred orientation structure by stretching is an efficient strategy to fabricate high-performance cellulose film and it is still an open issue whether crystalline structure or amorphous molecular chain is the key factor in determining the enhanced mechanical performance. Herein, uniaxial stretching with constant width followed by drying in a stretching state was carried out to cellulose hydrogels with physical and chemical double cross-linking networks, achieving high-performance regenerated cellulose films (RCFs) with an impressive tensile strength of 154.5 MPa and an elastic modulus of 5.4 GPa. The hierarchical structure of RCFs during uniaxial stretching and drying was systematically characterized from micro- to nanoscale, including microscopic morphology, crystalline structure as well as relaxation behavior at a molecular level. The two-dimensional correlation spectra of dynamic mechanical analysis and Havriliak-Negami fitting results verified that the enhanced mechanical properties of RCFs were mainly attributed to the stretch-induced tight packing and restricted relaxation of amorphous molecular chains. The new insight concerning the contribution of molecular chains in the amorphous region to the enhancement of mechanical performance for RCFs is expected to provide valuable guidance for designing and fabricating high-performance eco-friendly cellulose-based films.

Abstract
The surging demand for sustainable energy solutions and adaptable electronic devices has led to the exploration of alternative and advanced power sources. Triboelectric Nanogenerators (TENGs) stand out as a promising technology for efficient energy harvesting, but research on fully flexible and environmental friendly TENGs still remain limited. In this study, an innovative approach is introduced utilizing an ionic-solution modified conductive hydrogel embedded with piezoelectric sodium niobate nanowires-based Triboelectric Nanogenerator (NW-TENG), offering intrinsic advantages to healthcare and wearable devices. The synthesized NW-TENG, with a 12.5 cm2 surface area, achieves peak output performance, producing ≈840 V of voltage and 2.3 µC of charge transfer, respectively. The rectified energy powers up 30 LEDs and a stopwatch; while the NW-TENG efficiently charges capacitors from 1µF to 100 µF, reaching 1 V within 4 to 65 s at 6 Hz. Integration with prototype carbon monoxide (CO) gas sensor transform the device into a self-powered gas sensory technology. This study provides a comprehensive understanding of nanowire effects on TENG performance, offering insights for designing highly flexible and environmentally friendly TENGs, and extending applications to portable self-powered gas sensors and wearable devices.

Abstract
Herein, the nanolignin-containing cellulose nanofibrils (LCNF)-enabled ratiometric fluorescent bio-nanocomposite film is developed. Interestingly, the inclusion of LCNF in the cellulose-based film enhances the detecting performance of food freshness, such as high sensitivity to biogenic amines (BAs) (limit of detection (LOD) of up to 1.83 ppm) and ultrahigh discernible fluorescence color difference (ΔE = 113.11). The underlying mechanisms are the fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), π - π interaction, and cation - π interaction between LCNF and fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC), as well as the increased hydrophobicity due to lignin, which increases the interactions of amines with FITC. Its color stability (up to 28 days) and mechanical property (49.4 Mpa) are simultaneously improved. Furthermore, a smartphone based detecting platform is developed to achieve access to food safety. This work presents a novel technology, which can have a great potential in the field of food packaging and safety.

Abstract
This study focuses on enhancing the strength and water stability of paper straws through a novel approach involving a binary emulsion of lignin-based polyurethane and chitosan. Kraft lignin serves as the raw material for synthesizing a blocked waterborne polyurethane, subsequently combined with carboxylated chitosan to form a stable binary emulsion. The resulting emulsion, exhibiting remarkable stability over at least 6 months, is applied to the base paper. Following emulsion application, the paper undergoes torrefaction at 155 °C. This process deblocks isocyanate groups, enabling their reaction with hydroxyl groups on chitosan and fibers, ultimately forming ester bonds. This reaction significantly improves the mechanical strength and hydrophobicity of paper straws. The composite paper straws demonstrate exceptional mechanical properties, including a tensile strength of 47.21 MPa, Young's modulus of 4.33 GPa, and flexural strength of 32.38 MPa. Notably, its water stability is greatly enhanced, with a wet tensile strength of 40.66 MPa, surpassing commercial paper straws by 8 folds. Furthermore, the composite straw achieves complete biodegradability within 120 days, outperforming conventional paper straws in terms of environmental impact. This innovative solution presents a promising and sustainable alternative to plastic straws, addressing the urgent need for eco-friendly products.

Abstract
Cellulosic hydrogels are widely used in various applications, as they are natural raw materials and have excellent degradability. However, their poor mechanical properties restrict their practical application. This study presents a facile approach for fabricating cellulosic hydrogels with high strength by synergistically utilizing salting-out and ionic coordination, thereby inducing the collapse and aggregation of cellulose chains to form a cross-linked network structure. Cellulosic hydrogels are prepared by soaking cellulose in an Al2(SO4)3 solution, which is both strong (compressive strength of up to 16.99 MPa) and tough (compressive toughness of up to 2.86 MJ/m3). The prepared cellulosic hydrogels exhibit resistance to swelling in different solutions and good biodegradability in soil. The cellulosic hydrogels are incorporated into strain sensors for human-motion monitoring by introducing AgNWs. Thus, the study offers a promising, simple, and scalable approach for preparing strong, degradable, and anti-swelling hydrogels using common biomass resources with considerable potential for various applications.

Abstract
The shortage and unevenness of fossil energy sources are affecting the development and progress of human civilization. The technology of efficiently converting material resources into energy for utilization and storage is attracting the attention of researchers. Environmentally friendly biomass materials are a treasure to drive the development of new-generation energy sources. Electrochemical theory is used to efficiently convert the chemical energy of chemical substances into electrical energy. In recent years, significant progress has been made in the development of green and economical electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Although many reviews have been reported around the application of biomass-derived catalytically active carbon (CAC) catalysts in ORR, these reviews have only selected a single/partial topic (including synthesis and preparation of catalysts from different sources, structural optimization, or performance enhancement methods based on CAC catalysts, and application of biomass-derived CACs) for discussion. There is no review that systematically addresses the latest progress in the synthesis, performance enhancement, and applications related to biomass-derived CAC-based oxygen reduction electrocatalysts synchronously. This review fills the gap by providing a timely and comprehensive review and summary from the following sections: the exposition of the basic catalytic principles of ORR, the summary of the chemical composition and structural properties of various types of biomass, the analysis of traditional and the latest popular biomass-derived CAC synthesis methods and optimization strategies, and the summary of the practical applications of biomass-derived CAC-based oxidative reduction electrocatalysts. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the latest advances to provide research directions and design ideas for the development of catalyst synthesis/optimization and contributes to the industrialization of biomass-derived CAC electrocatalysis and electric energy storage.

Abstract
Passive cooling is a promising approach for reducing the large energy consumption to achieve carbon neutrality. Foams/aerogels can be considered effective daytime cooling materials due to their good solar scattering and thermal insulation capacity. However, the contradiction between the desired high solar reflectivity and mechanical performance still limits their scalable production and real application. Herein, inspired by the "Floor-Pillar" concept in the building industry, a multi-structure assembly-induced ice templating technology was used to construct all-cellulosic aerogels with well-defined biomimetic structures. By using cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) as pillars and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as floors and methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) as a crosslinking material, an all-cellulosic aerogel (NCA) exhibiting high mechanical strength (mechanical strength = 0.3 MPa at 80% compression ratio, Young's modulus = 1 MPa), ultralow thermal conductivity (28 mW m-1 K-1), ultrahigh solar reflectance (97.5%), high infrared emissivity (0.93), as well as excellent anti-weather function can be achieved, exceeding the performance of most reported cellulosic aerogels. Furthermore, the mechanisms of the improved mechanical strength and stimulated superior solar reflectance of NCA were studied in detail using finite element simulations and COMSOL Multiphysics. As a result, the NCA can achieve a cooling efficiency of 7.5 °C during the daytime. The building energy stimulus demonstrated that 44% of cooling energy can be saved in China annually if the NCA is applied. This work lays the foundation for the preparation of biomass aerogels for energy-saving applications.

Abstract
Two new water-soluble cellulose derivatives were prepared by a two-step transformation with 1,3-propane sultone, followed by either maleic or succinic anhydride, thereby converting cellulose into a more easily processable form. It was found that the solubility was dependent on both the degree of substitution and the chemical properties of the substituents. The water-soluble cellulose has a molecular weight greater than 100 000 g mol-1 and both the morphology and molecular weight can be tuned by varying the reaction conditions. Furthermore, the flexible, two-step nature of the process allows for expansion of this methodology in order to prepare cellulose analogues for different applications.

Abstract
Implantable chemical sensors built with flexible and biodegradable materials exhibit immense potential for seamless integration with biological systems by matching the mechanical properties of soft tissues and eliminating device retraction procedures. Compared with conventional hospital-based blood tests, implantable chemical sensors have the capability to achieve real-time monitoring with high accuracy of important biomarkers such as metabolites, neurotransmitters, and proteins, offering valuable insights for clinical applications. These innovative sensors could provide essential information for preventive diagnosis and effective intervention. To date, despite extensive research on flexible and bioresorbable materials for implantable electronics, the development of chemical sensors has faced several challenges related to materials and device design, resulting in only a limited number of successful accomplishments. This review highlights recent advancements in implantable chemical sensors based on flexible and biodegradable materials, encompassing their sensing strategies, materials strategies, and geometric configurations. The following discussions focus on demonstrated detection of various objects including ions, small molecules, and a few examples of macromolecules using flexible and/or bioresorbable implantable chemical sensors. Finally, we will present current challenges and explore potential future directions.

Abstract
Substrates or encapsulants in soft and stretchable formats are key components for transient, bioresorbable electronic systems; however, elastomeric polymers with desired mechanical and biochemical properties are very limited compared to non-transient counterparts. Here, we introduce a bioresorbable elastomer, poly(glycolide-co-ε-caprolactone) (PGCL), that contains excellent material properties including high elongation-at-break (< 1300%), resilience and toughness, and tunable dissolution behaviors. Exploitation of PGCLs as polymer matrices, in combination with conducing polymers, yields stretchable, conductive composites for degradable interconnects, sensors, and actuators, which can reliably function under external strains. Integration of device components with wireless modules demonstrates elastic, transient electronic suture system with on-demand drug delivery for rapid recovery of post-surgical wounds in soft, time-dynamic tissues.

Abstract
Radio frequency (RF) electronics are vital components of stretchable electronics that require wireless capabilities, ranging from skin-interfaced wearable systems to implantable devices to soft robotics. One of the key challenges in stretchable electronics is achieving near-lossless transmission line technology that can carry high-frequency electrical signals between various RF components. Almost all existing stretchable interconnection strategies only demonstrate direct current or low-frequency electrical properties, limiting their use in high frequencies, especially in the MHz to GHz range. Here, we describe the design and fabrication of a simple stretchable RF transmission line strategy that integrates a quasi-microstrip structure into a stretchable serpentine microscale interconnection. We show the effects of quasi-microstrip structural dimensions on the RF performance based on detailed quantitative analysis and experimentally demonstrate the optimized device capable of carrying RF signals with frequencies of up to 40 GHz with near-lossless characteristics. To show the potential application of our transmission line in stretchable microwave electronics, we designed a single-stage power amplifier system with a gain of 9.8 dB at 9 GHz that fully utilizes our quasi-microstrip transmission line technology.

Abstract
The storage of digital data is becoming a worldwide problem. DNA has been recognized as a biological solution due to its ability to store genetic information without alteration over long periods. The first demonstrations of high-capacity long-lasting DNA digital data storage have been shown. However, high storage costs and slow retrieval of the data must be overcome to make DNA data storage more applicable and marketable. Herein, we discuss the issues and recent advances in DNA data storage methods and highlight pathways to make this technology more applicable to real-world digital data storage. We envision that a combination of molecular biology, nanotechnology, novel polymers, electronics, and automation with systematic development will allow DNA data storage sufficient for everyday use.

Abstract
The increasing global awareness of environmental issues has led to a growing interest in research on cellulose-based film. However, several limitations hinder their development and industrial application, such as hydrophilicity, inadequate mechanical properties and barrier properties, and a lack of activity. This study aimed to create a sustainable and hydrophobic high-performance all-green pineapple peel cellulose nanocomposite film for food packaging by incorporating natural carnauba wax and cellulose nanofibers (CNF) into a pineapple peel cellulose matrix. The results showed that adding carnauba wax to the cellulose matrix converted the surface wettability of the cellulose-based film from hydrophilic to hydrophobic (water contact angle over 100). Additionally, the film exhibited ultraviolet resistance and antioxidation properties. The incorporation of CNF further improved the barrier properties, mechanical properties, and thermal stability of the cellulose nanocomposite film. In applied experiments, the cellulose nanocomposite film delayed post-harvest deterioration and maintained storage quality of cherry tomatoes. Importantly, the cellulose nanocomposite film could be degraded in soil within 30 days. It can be concluded that the cellulose nanocomposite film has great potential to alleviate the environmental problems and human health problems caused by non-degradable petroleum-based plastic packaging.

Abstract
Biomass-derived sustainable film is a promising alternative to synthetic plastic, but hampered by strength, toughness and flexibility trade-off predicament. Here, a feasible and scalable strategy was proposed to fabricate strong and flexible lignocellulosic film through molecular reconstruction of cellulose and lignin. In this strategy, polyphenol lignin was absorbed and wrapped on the surface of cellulose fiber, forming strong interfacial adhesion and cohesion via intramolecular and intermolecular hydrogen bonding. Further, covalent ether bond was generated between the hydroxyl groups of lignocellulose to form chemical cross-linking network induced by epichlorohydrin (ECH). The synergistic effect of hydrogen bonding and stable chemical cross-linking enabled the resultant lignocellulosic film (ELCF) with outstanding mechanical strength of 132.48 MPa, the elongation at break of 9.77 %, and toughness of 9.77 MJ·m-3. Notably, the integration of polyphenol lignin synergistically improved the thermal stability, water resistance, UV-blocking performances of ELCF. Importantly, after immersion for 30 d, ELCF still possessed high wet strength of 70.38 MPa, and elongation at break of 7.70 %, suggesting excellent and durable mechanical performances. Moreover, ELCF could be biodegraded in the natural soil. Therefore, this study provides a new and versatile approach to reconstruct highly-performance lignocellulosic films coupling strength, toughness with flexibility for promising plastic replacement.

Abstract
The rapid development of modern electrical engineering puts forward urgent demand for high-performance electrical insulating materials. In this study, inspired by the layered structure of natural nacre, we present a novel biomimetic composite insulating film (referred to as M/C film) that is derived from agricultural waste corncobs and industrial waste mica tailings through a sol-gel-film transformation process. The novel insulating film has excellent tensile strength (94 MPa), high dielectric strength (68 kV mm-1), low dielectric loss, good heat resistance (T0 = 235 °C), and excellent UV shielding properties. Meanwhile, the M/C film presents environmental impacts much lower than those petrochemical-based plastic film as it can be 100 % recycled in a closed-loop recycling process and easily biodegraded in the environment (lignocellulose goes back to the carbon cycle and the mica return to the geological cycle). It is a potential alternative for petrochemical plastics and provides a possible way to utilize agricultural waste and mica tailings.

Abstract
Proteinaceous amyloid fibrils are one of the stiffest biopolymers due to their extensive cross-β-sheet quaternary structure, whereas cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) exhibit interesting properties associated with their nanoscale size, morphology, large surface area, and biodegradability. Herein, CNFs were supplemented with amyloid fibrils assembled from the Curli-specific gene A (CsgA) protein, the main component of bacterial biofilms. The resulting composites showed superior mechanical properties, up to a 7-fold increase compared to unmodified CNF films. Wettability and thermogravimetric analyses demonstrated high surface hydrophobicity and robust thermal tolerance. Bulk spectroscopic characterization of CNF-CsgA films revealed key insights into the molecular organization within the bionanocomposites. Atomic force microscopy and photoinduced force microscopy revealed the high-resolution location of curli assemblies into the CNF films. This novel sustainable and cost-effective CNF-based bionanocomposites supplemented with intertwined bacterial amyloid fibrils opens novel directions for environmentally friendly applications demanding high mechanical, water-repelling properties, and thermal resistance.

Abstract
This work demonstrates the fabrication and characterization of single-layer MoS2 field-effect transistors using biodegradable albumen (chicken eggwhite) as gate dielectric. By introducing albumen as an insulator for MoS2 transistors high carrier mobilities (up to ~90 cm2 V-1 s-1) are observed, which is remarkably superior to that obtained with commonly used SiO2 dielectric which we attribute to ionic gating due to the formation of an electric double layer in the albumen MoS2 interface. In addition, the investigated devices are characterized upon illumination, observing responsivities of 4.5 AW-1 (operated in photogating regime) and rise times as low as 52 ms (operated in photoconductivity regime). The presented study reveals the combination of albumen with van der Waals materials for prospective biodegradable and biocompatible optoelectronic device applications. Furthermore, the demonstrated universal fabrication process can be easily adopted to fabricate albumen-based devices with any other van der Waals material.

However, these devices confront technological challenges concerning a noninvasive power supply and biosafe device removal. Addressing these challenges is crucial to ensure continuous operation and patient comfort and minimize the physical and economic burden on the patient and the healthcare system. This Review highlights the promising capabilities of bioresorbable triboelectric nanogenerators (B-TENGs) as temporary self-clearing power sources and self-powered IMDs. First, we present an overview of and progress in bioresorbable triboelectric energy harvesting devices, focusing on their working principles, materials development, and biodegradation mechanisms. Next, we examine the current state of on-demand transient implants and their biomedical applications. Finally, we address the current challenges and future perspectives of B-TENGs, aimed at expanding their technological scope and developing innovative solutions. This Review discusses advancements in materials science, chemistry, and microfabrication that can advance the scope of energy solutions available for IMDs. These innovations can potentially change the current health paradigm, contribute to enhanced longevity, and reshape the healthcare landscape soon.

Abstract
Transient electronic systems represent an emerging class of technology that is defined by an ability to fully or partially dissolve, disintegrate, or otherwise disappear at controlled rates or triggered times through engineered chemical or physical processes after a required period of operation. This review highlights recent advances in materials chemistry that serve as the foundations for a subclass of transient electronics, bioresorbable electronics, that is characterized by an ability to resorb (or, equivalently, to absorb) in a biological environment. The primary use cases are in systems designed to insert into the human body, to provide sensing and/or therapeutic functions for timeframes aligned with natural biological processes. Mechanisms of bioresorption then harmlessly eliminate the devices, and their associated load on and risk to the patient, without the need of secondary removal surgeries. The core content focuses on the chemistry of the enabling electronic materials, spanning organic and inorganic compounds to hybrids and composites, along with their mechanisms of chemical reaction in biological environments. Following discussions highlight the use of these materials in bioresorbable electronic components, sensors, power supplies, and in integrated diagnostic and therapeutic systems formed using specialized methods for fabrication and assembly. A concluding section summarizes opportunities for future research.

Abstract
Graphene with a 3D porous structure is directly laser-induced on lignocellulosic biopaper under ambient conditions and is further explored for multifunctional biomass-based flexible electronics. The mechanically strong, flexible, and waterproof biopaper is fabricated by surface-functionalizing cellulose with lignin-based epoxy acrylate (LBEA). This composite biopaper shows as high as a threefold increase in tensile strength and excellent waterproofing compared with pure cellulose one. Direct laser writing (DLW) rapidly induces porous graphene from the biopaper in a single step. The porous graphene shows an interconnected carbon network, well-defined graphene domains, and high electrical conductivity (e.g., ≈3 Ω per square), which can be tuned by lignin precursors and loadings as well as lasing conditions. The biopaper in situ embedded with porous graphene is facilely fabricated into flexible electronics for on-chip and paper-based applications. The biopaper-based electronic devices, including the all-solid-state planer supercapacitor, electrochemical and strain biosensors, and Joule heater, show great performances. This study demonstrates the facile, versatile, and low-cost fabrication of multifunctional graphene-based electronics from lignocellulose-based biopaper.

Abstract
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) physically support and connect electronic components to the implementation of complex circuits. The most widespread insulating substrate that also acts as a mechanical support in PCBs is commercially known as FR4, and it is a glass-fiber-reinforced epoxy resin laminate. FR4 has exceptional dielectric, mechanical, and thermal properties. However, it was designed without considering sustainability and end-of-life aspects, heavily contributing to the accumulation of electronic waste in the environment. Thus, greener alternatives that can be reprocessed, reused, biodegraded, or composted at the end of their function are needed. This work presents the development and characterization of a PCB substrate based on poly(lactic acid) and cotton fabric, a compostable alternative to the conventional FR4. The substrate has been developed by compression molding, a process compatible with the polymer industry. We demonstrate that conductive silver ink can be additively printed on the substrate's surface, as its morphology and wettability are similar to those of FR4. For example, the compostable PCB's water contact angle is 72°, close to FR4's contact angle of 64°. The developed substrate can be thermoformed to curved surfaces at low temperatures while preserving the conductivity of the silver tracks. The green substrate has a dielectric constant comparable to that of the standard FR4, showing a value of 5.6 and 4.6 at 10 and 100 kHz, respectively, which is close to the constant value of 4.6 of FR4. The substrate is suitable for microdrilling, a fundamental process for integrating electronic components to the PCB. We implemented a proof-of-principle circuit to control the blinking of LEDs on top of the PCB, comprising resistors, capacitors, LEDs, and a dual in-line package circuit timer. The developed PCB substrate represents a sustainable alternative to standard FR4 and could contribute to the reduction of the overwhelming load of electronic waste in landfills.

Abstract
Food freshness monitoring is vital to ensure food safety. Recently, packaging materials incorporating pH-sensitive films have been employed to monitor the freshness of food products in real time. The film-forming matrix of the pH-sensitive film is essential to maintain the desired physicochemical functions of the packaging. Conventional film-forming matrices, such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), have drawbacks of low water resistance, poor mechanical properties, and weak antioxidant ability. In this study, we successfully synthesise PVA/riclin (P/R) biodegradable polymer films to overcome these limitations. The films feature riclin, an agrobacterium-derived exopolysaccharide. The uniformly dispersed riclin conferred outstanding antioxidant activity to the PVA film and significantly improved its tensile strength and barrier properties by forming hydrogen bonds. Purple sweet potato anthocyanin (PSPA) was used as a pH indicator. The intelligent film with added PSPA provided robust surveillance of volatile ammonia and changed its color within 30 s in the pH range of 2-12. This multifunctional colorimetric film also engendered discernible color changes when the quality of shrimp deteriorated, demonstrating its great potential as an intelligent packaging material to monitor food freshness.

Abstract
The modern eco-friendly materials used in research and innovation today consist of nanocomposites and bio-nanocomposite polymers. Their unique composite properties make them suitable for various industrial, medicinal, and energy applications. Bio-nanocomposite polymers are made of biopolymer matrices that have nanofillers dispersed throughout them. There are several types of fillers that can be added to polymers to enhance their quality, such as cellulose-based fillers, clay nanomaterials, carbon black, talc, carbon quantum dots, and many others. Biopolymer-based nanocomposites are considered a superior alternative to traditional materials as they reduce reliance on fossil fuels and promote the use of renewable resources. This review covers the current state-of-the-art in nanocomposite and bio-nanocomposite materials, focusing on ways to improve their features and the various applications they can be used for. The review article also investigates the utilization of diverse nanocomposites as a viable approach for developing bio-nanocomposites. It delves into the underlying principles that govern the synthesis of these materials and explores their prospective applications in the biomedical field, food packaging, sensing (Immunosensors), and energy storage devices. Lastly, the review discusses the future outlook and current challenges of these materials, with a focus on sustainability.

Abstract
The maskless and chemical-free conversion and patterning of synthetic polymer precursors into laser-induced graphene (LIG) via laser-induced pyrolysis is a relatively new but growing field. Bioderived precursors from lignocellulosic materials can also be converted to LIG, opening a path to sustainable and environmentally friendly applications. This review is designed as a starting point for researchers who are not familiar with LIG and/or who wish to switch to sustainable bioderived precursors for their applications. Bioderived precursors are described, and their performances (mainly crystallinity and sheet resistance of the obtained LIG) are compared. The three main fields of application are reviewed: supercapacitors and electrochemical and physical sensors. The key advantages and disadvantages of each precursor for each application are discussed and compared to those of a benchmark of polymer-derived LIG. LIG from bioderived precursors can match, or even outperform, its synthetic analogue and represents a viable and sometimes better alternative, also considering its low cost and biodegradability.

Abstract
Position-sensitive detectors (PSDs) based on the lateral photovoltaic effect (LPE) are widely used for precision displacement and angle measurement. However, high temperatures can lead to the thermal decomposition or oxidation of nanomaterials frequently utilized in PSDs, and can ultimately affect the performance. In this study, we present a PSD based on Ag/nanocellulose/Si that maintains a maximum sensitivity of 416.52 mV/mm, even at elevated temperatures. By encapsulating nanosilver in a nanocellulose matrix, the device demonstrates excellent stability and performance over a wide temperature range from 300 to 450 K. Its performance can be comparable to that of room temperature PSDs. An approach that uses nanometals to regulate optical absorption and the local electric field overcomes carrier recombination due to nanocellulose, enabling a breakthrough in sensitivity for organic PSDs. The results indicate that the LPE in this structure is dominated by local surface plasmon resonance, presenting opportunities for expanding optoelectronics in high-temperature industrial environments and monitoring applications. The proposed PSD offers a simple, fast, and cost-effective solution for real-time laser beam monitoring, and its high-temperature stability makes it ideal for a wide range of industrial applications.

Abstract
This study demonstrates a novel approach to creating a thin-film electronic device that offers selective or complete disposability only in on-demand conditions while maintaining stable operation reliability during everyday use. The approach involves a transient paper substrate, combined with phase change encapsulation and highly bendable planarization materials, achieved through a simple solution process. The substrate used in this study offers a smooth surface morphology that enables the creation of stable multilayers for thin-film electronic devices. It also exhibits superior waterproof properties, which allows the proof-of-concept organic light-emitting device to function even when submerged in water. Additionally, the substrate provides controlled surface roughness under repeated bending, demonstrating reliable folding stability for 1000 cycles at 10 mm of curvature. Furthermore, a specific component of the electronic device can be selectively made to malfunction through predetermined voltage input, and the entire device can be fully disposed of via Joule-heating-induced combustion.

Abstract
The various forms of cellulose-based materials possess high mechanical and thermal stabilities, as well as three-dimensional open network structures with high aspect ratios capable of incorporating other materials to produce composites for a wide range of applications. Being the most prevalent natural biopolymer on the Earth, cellulose has been used as a renewable replacement for many plastic and metal substrates, in order to diminish pollutant residues in the environment. As a result, the design and development of green technological applications of cellulose and its derivatives has become a key principle of ecological sustainability. Recently, cellulose-based mesoporous structures, flexible thin films, fibers, and three-dimensional networks have been developed for use as substrates in which conductive materials can be loaded for a wide range of energy conversion and energy conservation applications. The present article provides an overview of the recent advancements in the preparation of cellulose-based composites synthesized by combining metal/semiconductor nanoparticles, organic polymers, and metal-organic frameworks with cellulose. To begin, a brief review of cellulosic materials is given, with emphasis on their properties and processing methods. Further sections focus on the integration of cellulose-based flexible substrates or three-dimensional structures into energy conversion devices, such as photovoltaic solar cells, triboelectric generators, piezoelectric generators, thermoelectric generators, as well as sensors. The review also highlights the uses of cellulose-based composites in the separators, electrolytes, binders, and electrodes of energy conservation devices such as lithium-ion batteries. Moreover, the use of cellulose-based electrodes in water splitting for hydrogen generation is discussed. In the final section, we propose the underlying challenges and outlook for the field of cellulose-based composite materials.

Abstract
Wireless brain technologies are empowering basic neuroscience and clinical neurology by offering new platforms that minimize invasiveness and refine possibilities during electrophysiological recording and stimulation. Despite their advantages, most systems require on-board power supply and sizeable transmission circuitry, enforcing a lower bound for miniaturization. Designing new minimalistic architectures that can efficiently sense neurophysiological events will open the door to standalone microscale sensors and minimally invasive delivery of multiple sensors. Here we present a circuit for sensing ionic fluctuations in the brain by an ion-sensitive field effect transistor that detunes a single radiofrequency resonator in parallel. We establish sensitivity of the sensor by electromagnetic analysis and quantify response to ionic fluctuations in vitro. We validate this new architecture in vivo during hindpaw stimulation in rodents and verify correlation with local field potential recordings. This new approach can be implemented as an integrated circuit for wireless in situ recording of brain electrophysiology.

Abstract
Hardware security is a major concern for the entire semiconductor ecosystem that accounts for billions of dollars in annual losses. Similarly, information security is a critical need for the rapidly proliferating edge devices that continuously collect and communicate a massive volume of data. While silicon-based complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor technology offers security solutions, these are largely inadequate, inefficient, and often inconclusive, as well as resource intensive in time, energy, and cost, leading to tremendous room for innovation in this field. Furthermore, silicon-based security primitives have shown vulnerability to machine learning (ML) attacks. In recent years, 2D materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides have been intensely explored to mitigate these security challenges. In this review, 2D-materials-based hardware security solutions such as camouflaging, true random number generation, watermarking, anticounterfeiting, physically unclonable functions, and logic locking of integrated circuits (ICs) are summarized with accompanying discussion on their reliability and resilience to ML attacks. In addition, the role of native defects in 2D materials in developing high entropy hardware security primitives is also examined. Finally, the existing challenges for 2D materials, which must be overcome for large-scale deployment of 2D ICs to meet the security needs of the semiconductor industry, are discussed.

Abstract
As rubber-like elastomers have led to scientific breakthroughs in soft, stretchable characteristics-based wearable, implantable electronic devices or relevant research fields, developments of degradable elastomers with comparable mechanical properties could bring similar technological innovations in transient, bioresorbable electronics or expansion into unexplored areas. Here, we introduce ultra-stretchable, biodegradable elastomers capable of stretching up to ~1600% with outstanding properties in toughness, tear-tolerance, and storage stability, all of which are validated by comprehensive mechanical and biochemical studies. The facile formation of thin films enables the integration of almost any type of electronic device with tunable, suitable adhesive strengths. Conductive elastomers tolerant/sensitive to mechanical deformations highlight possibilities for versatile monitoring/sensing components, particularly the strain-tolerant composites retain high levels of conductivities even under tensile strains of ~550%. Demonstrations of soft electronic grippers and transient, suture-free cardiac jackets could be the cornerstone for sophisticated, multifunctional biodegradable electronics in the fields of soft robots and biomedical implants.

Abstract
The development of advanced biomaterial with mechanically robust and high energy density is critical for flexible electronics, such as batteries and supercapacitors. Plant proteins are ideal candidates for making flexible electronics due to their renewable and eco-friendly natures. However, due to the weak intermolecular interactions and abundant hydrophilic groups of protein chains, the mechanical properties of protein-based materials, especially in bulk materials, are largely constrained, which hinders their performance in practical applications. Here, a green and scalable method is shown for the fabrication of advanced film biomaterials with high mechanical strength (36.3 MPa), toughness (21.25 MJ m-3 ), and extraordinary fatigue-resistance (213 000 times) by incorporating tailor-made core-double-shell structured nanoparticles. Subsequently, the film biomaterials combine to construct an ordered, dense bulk material by stacking-up and hot-pressing techniques. Surprisingly, the solid-state supercapacitor based on compacted bulk material shows an ultrahigh energy density of 25.8 Wh kg-1 , which is much higher than those previously reported advanced materials. Notably, the bulk material also demonstrates long-term cycling stability, which can be maintained under ambient condition or immersed in H2 SO4 electrolyte for more than 120 days. Thus, this research improves the competitiveness of protein-based materials for real-world applications such as flexible electronics and solid-state supercapacitors.

Abstract
Electronic wastes from used devices containing environmentally hazardous materials are an immediate concern for the sustainable development of electronic and sensor industries. To address this, a highly controllable and dedicated electronic module should be devised, that allows systematic recollection of as many components from the original device for their reuse. Here, we report the total recycling of an electronic device, exploiting a water-floating system that is based on a water-compatible semiconductor as an active material. To do so, we developed a system for stable electronics on the water surface. The floating semiconductor features a tunable morphology on the water surface, and is constructed into a water-floating gated transistor (WFGT) and water floating sensor (WFS), exhibiting an on-current of 4.2 × 10-5 A and an on/off ratio of ∼103. The device showed high recyclability over 25 cycles, with an efficiency of 99 ± 0.9% within 1 cycle and 92 ± 0.7% within 30 cycles. Furthermore, the device was also found to be stable for over 10 days. Our system has the potential to be an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and scalable device that is fully recyclable, which can be applied in areas once thought of as being beyond the scope of current semiconductor technology.

Abstract
Cellulose has attracted considerable attention as a potential substitute for plastics. However, the flammability and high thermal insulation properties of cellulose contradict the unique requirements for highly integrated and miniaturized electronics i.e., rapid thermal dissipation and efficient flame retardancy. In this work, cellulose was first phosphorylated to achieve intrinsic flame-retardant properties, and subsequently treated with MoS2 and BN, ensuring efficient dispersion throughout the material. Via chemical crosslinking, a sandwich-like unit was formed, in the order of BN, MoS2, and phosphorylated cellulose nanofibers (PCNF). The sandwich-like units were further self-assembled, layer-by-layer, to successfully create BN/MoS2/PCNF composite films exhibiting excellent thermal conductivity and flame retardancy, and comprised a low MoS2 and BN loading. The thermal conductivity of the BN/MoS2/PCNF composite film containing 5 wt% BN nanosheets was higher than that of neat PCNF film. The combustion characterization of BN/MoS2/PCNF composite films revealed highly desirable properties that were far more superior than the BN/MoS2/TCNF (TCNF, TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers) composite films. Moreover, the toxic volatiles that escaped from flaming BN/MoS2/PCNF composite films were significantly reduced compared to that of the BN/MoS2/TCNF composite film alternative. The thermal conductivity and flame retardancy of BN/MoS2/PCNF composite films have promising application prospects in highly integrated and eco-friendly electronics.

Abstract
As an energy storage technology, supercapacitors (SCs) have become an important part of many electronic systems because of their high-power density, long cycle life, and maintenance-free characteristics. However, the widespread development and use of electronics, including SCs, have led to the generation of a large amount of e-waste. In addition, achieving compatibility between stability and biodegradability has been a prominent challenge for implantable electronics. Therefore, environmentally friendly SCs based on polypyrrole (PPy)-stabilized polypeptide (FF) are demonstrated in this study. The fully degradable SC has a layer-by-layer structure, including polylactic acid/chitosan (PLA-C) support layers, current collectors (Mg), FF/PPy composite layers, and a polyvinyl alcohol/phosphate buffer solution (PVA/PBS) hydrogel. It has the advantages of being light, thin, flexible, and biocompatible. After 5000 cycles in air, the capacitance retention remains at up to 94.7%. The device could stably operate for 7 days in a liquid environment and completely degrade in vitro within 90 days without any adverse effect on the environment. This work has important implications for eco-friendly electronics and will have a significant impact on the implantable biomedical electronics.

Abstract
Elastomer-based wearables can improve people's lives; however, frictional wear caused by manipulation may pose significant concerns regarding their durability and sustainability. To address the aforementioned issue, a new class of advanced scalable supersoft elastic transparent material (ASSETm) is reported, which offers a unique combination of scalability (20 g scale), stretchability (up to 235%), and enzymatic degradability (up to 65% in 30 days). The key feature of our design is to render native dextrin hydrophobic, which turns it into a macroinitiator for bulk ring-opening polymerization. Based on ASSETm, a self-powered touch sensor (ASSETm-TS) for touch sensing and non-contact approaching detection, possessing excellent electrical potential (up to 65 V) and rapid response time (60 ms), is fabricated. This work is a step toward developing sustainable soft electronic systems, and ASSETm's tunability enables further improvement of electrical outputs, enhancing human-interactive applications.

Abstract
Wireless brain technologies are empowering basic neuroscience and clinical neurology by offering new platforms that minimize invasiveness and refine possibilities during electrophysiological recording and stimulation. Despite their advantages, most systems require on-board power supply and sizeable transmission circuitry, enforcing a lower bound for miniaturization. Designing new minimalistic architectures that can efficiently sense neurophysiological events will open the door to standalone microscale sensors and minimally invasive delivery of multiple sensors. Here we present a circuit for sensing ionic fluctuations in the brain by an ion-sensitive field effect transistor that detunes a single radiofrequency resonator in parallel. We establish sensitivity of the sensor by electromagnetic analysis and quantify response to ionic fluctuations in vitro . We validate this new architecture in vivo during hindpaw stimulation in rodents and verify correlation with local field potential recordings. This new approach can be implemented as an integrated circuit for wireless in situ recording of brain electrophysiology.

Abstract
Recently reported winged microelectronic systems offer passive flight mechanisms as a dispersal strategy for purposes in environmental monitoring, population surveillance, pathogen tracking, and other applications. Initial studies indicate potential for technologies of this type, but advances in structural and responsive materials and in aerodynamically optimized geometries are necessary to improve the functionality and expand the modes of operation. Here, we introduce environmentally degradable materials as the basis of 3D fliers that allow remote, colorimetric assessments of multiple environmental parameters-pH, heavy metal concentrations, and ultraviolet exposure, along with humidity levels and temperature. Experimental and theoretical investigations of the aerodynamics of these systems reveal design considerations that include not only the geometries of the structures but also their mass distributions across a range of bioinspired designs. Preliminary field studies that rely on drones for deployment and for remote colorimetric analysis by machine learning interpretation of digital images illustrate scenarios for practical use.

Abstract
Electronic devices are irrevocably integrated into our lives. Yet, their limited lifetime and often improvident disposal demands sustainable concepts to realize a green electronic future. Research must shift its focus on substituting nondegradable and difficult-to-recycle materials to allow either biodegradation or facile recycling of electronic devices. Here, we demonstrate a concept for growth and processing of fungal mycelium skins as biodegradable substrate material for sustainable electronics. The skins allow common electronic processing techniques including physical vapor deposition and laser patterning for electronic traces with conductivities as high as 9.75 ± 1.44 × 104 S cm-1. The conformal and flexible electronic mycelium skins withstand more than 2000 bending cycles and can be folded several times with only moderate resistance increase. We demonstrate mycelium batteries with capacities as high as ~3.8 mAh cm-2 used to power autonomous sensing devices including a Bluetooth module and humidity and proximity sensor.

Abstract
Heavy reliance on petrochemical-based plastic foams in both industry and society has led to severe plastic pollution (the so-called "white pollution"). In this work, we develop a biodegradable, recyclable, and sustainable cellulose/bentonite (Cel/BT) foam material directly from resource-abundant natural materials (i.e., lignocellulosic biomass and minerals) via ambient drying. The strong resistance to the capillary force-driven structural collapse of the preformed three-dimensional (3D) network during the ambient drying process can be ascribed to the purpose-designed cellulose-bentonite coordination interaction, which provides a practical way for the locally scalable production of foam materials with designed shapes without complex processing and intensive energy consumption. Benefiting from the strong cellulose-bentonite coordination interaction, the Cel/BT foam material demonstrates high mechanical strength and outstanding thermal stability, outperforming commercial plastic polystyrene foam. Furthermore, the Cel/BT foam presents environmental impacts much lower than those of petrochemical-based plastic foams as it can be 100% recycled in a closed-loop recycling process and easily biodegraded in the environment (natural cellulose goes back to the carbon cycle, and bentonite minerals return to the geological cycle). This study demonstrates an energy-efficient ambient drying approach for the local and scalable production of an all-natural cellulose/bentonite foam for sustainable packaging, buildings, and beyond, presenting great potential in response to "white pollution" and resource shortage.

Abstract
With the ultra-fast development of personal portable electronic devices, it is important to explore new die attach film (DAF) materials in the limited mounting area and height in order to meet the requirements of a high packaging density and a high operating speed. Graphene-based epoxy nanocomposites are becoming one of the most promising candidates for the next generation of DAFs combining the ultra-high thermal conductivity of graphene, and ultra-strong adhesion of epoxy polymers. However, poor dispersion and weak interfacial connections, due to the overly smooth surface of graphene nanosheets, are still pressing issues that limit their industrial applications. Additionally, pristine graphene nanosheets have only a small effect on improving the glass transition temperature (Tg) of epoxy composites to meet the requirements of DAFs. In this work, melamine-functionalized graphene is synthesized by using a nondestructive ball milling process, which results in greater dispersion and enhancement of the interfacial connections between graphene and epoxy resins demonstrated by both experimental and simulation results. In particular, the aromatic triazine rings of melamine increase Tg in the cured resin, thus improving the thermal stability of DAFs. The melamine-graphene (M-G) epoxy nanocomposites synthesized have a high Tg of 172 °C and an out-of-plane thermal conductivity of 1.08 W m-1 K-1 at 10 wt% loading. This is 6.4 multiples higher than that of neat epoxy. Moreover, M-G epoxy nanocomposites exhibit superb thermal stability, an effective low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), low moisture adsorption, and a useful high electrical resistivity. In the DAF performance test, involving experimentation and modeling, the samples present a better cooling capability and heat dissipation. This supports the idea that our findings have potential to be applied in the next generation of DAFs for high-power and high-density 3D packaging.

Abstract
Cellulose, a renewable structural biopolymer, is ubiquitous in nature and is the basic reinforcement component of the natural hierarchical structures of living plants, bacteria, and tunicates. However, a detailed picture of the crystalline cellulose surface at the molecular level is still unavailable. Here, using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we revealed the molecular details of the cellulose chain arrangements on the surfaces of individual cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) in water. Furthermore, we visualized the three-dimensional (3D) local arrangement of water molecules near the CNC surface using 3D AFM. AFM experiments and MD simulations showed anisotropic water structuring, as determined by the surface topologies and exposed chemical moieties. These findings provide important insights into our understanding of the interfacial interactions between CNCs and water at the molecular level. This may allow the establishment of the structure-property relationship of CNCs extracted from various biomass sources.

Abstract
Electronic wastes from transient electronics accumulate biologically harmful materials with global concern. Recycling these wastes could prevent the deposition of hazardous chemicals and toxic materials to the environment while saving scarce natural compounds and valuable resources. Here, we report a sustainable electronic device, taking advantage of carbon resources and a biodegradable cellulose composite. The device consists of an ambient-stable carbon nanotube as a semiconductor, graphene as electrodes, and a free-standing cellulose filter paper/nanocellulose composite as a dielectric layer. The dual-functional cellulose composite acting simultaneously as a robust substrate and a dielectric is demonstrated, which is compatible with solution device fabrication processes. An optimized channel dimension of 5 mm × 3 mm with the addition of ions that facilitates a charge transport realized a device with an on-current per width of 9.6 μA mm-1, an on/off ratio >102, a field-effect mobility of 2.03 cm2 V-1 s-1, and long-term stability over 30 days under ambient conditions. Successful separation of the carbonaceous components via an eco-friendly solution sorting protocol allowed the recycled device to display excellent electronic performance, with a recapture efficiency of 90%. This effort demonstrates a processable, low-cost, and sustainable electronic system that can be applied in the current realm of the semiconducting and sensing industry.
