Abstract
Invasive methods such as blood collection and biopsy are commonly used for testing liver and kidney function, which are painful, time-consuming, require trained personnel, and may not be easily accessible to people for their routine checkup. Early diagnosis of liver and kidney diseases can prevent severe symptoms and ensure better management of these patients. Emerging approaches such as breath and sweat analysis have shown potential as non-invasive methods for disease diagnosis. Among the many markers, ammonia is often used as a biomarker for the monitoring of liver and kidney functions. In this review we provide an insight into the production and expulsion of ammonia gas in the human body, the different diseases that could potentially use ammonia as biomarker and analytical devices such as chemiresistive gas sensors for non-invasive monitoring of this gas. The review also provides an understanding into the different materials, doping agents and substrates used to develop such multifunctional sensors. Finally, the current challenges and the possible future trends have been discussed.

Abstract
Energy harvesting and storing by dual-functional photoenhanced (photo-E) energy storage devices are being developed to battle the current energy hassles. In this research work, our investigations on the photoinduced efficiency of germanane (Ge-H) and its functionalized analogue cyanoethyl (Ge-C2-CN) are assessed as photocathodes in photo-E hybrid zinc-ion capacitors (ZICs). The evaluated self-powered photodetector devices made by these germanene-based samples revealed effective performances in photogenerated electrons and holes. The photo-E ZICs findings provided a photoinduced capacitance enhancement of ∼52% (for Ge-H) and ∼26% (for Ge-C2-CN) at a scan rate of 10 mV s-1 under 100 mW cm-2 illumination with 435 nm wavelength. Further characterizations demonstrated that the photo-E ZIC with Ge-C2-CN supply higher specific capacitance (∼6000 mF g-1), energy density (∼550 mWh kg-1), and power density (∼31,000 mW kg-1), compared to the Ge-H. In addition, capacitance retention of photo-E ZIC with Ge-C2-CN is ∼91% after 3000 cycles which is almost 6% greater than Ge-H. Interestingly, the photocharging voltage response in photo-E ZIC made by Ge-C2-CN is 1000 mV, while the photocharging voltage response with Ge-H is approximately 970 mV. The observed performances in Ge-H-based photoactive cathodes highlight the pivotal role of such two-dimensional materials to be applied as single architecture in new unconventional energy storage systems. They are particularly noteworthy when compared to the other advanced photo-E supercapacitors and could even be enhanced greatly with other suitable inorganic and organic functional precursors.

Abstract
All-in-one systems integrating solar cells and supercapacitors have recently received significant attention because of their high efficiency and portability. Unlike conventional solar photovoltaics, which require external wiring to connect to a battery for energy storage, integrated devices with solar cells and supercapacitors share one electrode, eliminating wiring resistance and facilitating charge transfer. In this work, we designed and fabricated all-in-one devices by combining a silicon solar cell and a supercapacitor with polymer gel electrolytes. Our all-in-one devices incorporating H3PO4/PVA and [BMIm]Cl/PVA exhibited areal capacitances of 452.5 and 550 mF·cm -2 at 0.1 mA·cm-2, respectively, following 100 s of photocharging. Notably, the [BMIm]Cl/PVA-based all-in-one device demonstrated significantly higher maximum energy density and power density compared to both the H3PO4/PVA-based all-in-one device and the values reported in literature. In addition, the cyclic photocharge/galvanostatic discharge process for the [BMIm]Cl/PVA-based all-in-one device represented consistent retention of areal capacitance, affirming its stability across charge-discharge cycles. After 100 s of photocharging, the [BMIm]Cl/PVA-based all-in-one device achieved a total energy efficiency of 1.85%, surpassing the 1.45% efficiency observed in the device using H3PO4/PVA. These results provide valuable insights for the design of self-charging all-in-one devices for portable and wearable applications.

Abstract
Hexagonal boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) exhibit remarkable thermal and dielectric properties. However, their self-assembly and alignment in macroscopic forms remain challenging due to the chemical inertness of boron nitride, thereby limiting their performance in applications such as thermal management. In this study, we present a coaxial wet spinning approach for the fabrication of BNNSs/polymer composite fibers with high nanosheet orientation. The composite fibers were prepared using a superacid-based solvent system and showed a layered structure comprising an aramid core and an aramid/BNNSs sheath. Notably, the coaxial fibers exhibited significantly higher BNNSs alignment compared to uniaxial aramid/BNNSs fibers, primarily due to the additional compressive forces exerted at the core-sheath interface during the hot drawing process. With a BNNSs loading of 60 wt%, the resulting coaxial fibers showed exceptional properties, including an ultrahigh Herman orientation parameter of 0.81, thermal conductivity of 17.2 W m-1 K-1, and tensile strength of 192.5 MPa. These results surpassed those of uniaxial fibers and previously reported BNNSs composite fibers, making them highly suitable for applications such as wearable thermal management textiles. Our findings present a promising strategy for fabricating high-performance composite fibers based on BNNSs.

Abstract
Power-conversion-efficiencies (PCEs) of organic solar cells (OSCs) in laboratory, normally processed by spin-coating technology with toxic halogenated solvents, have reached over 19%. However, there is usually a marked PCE drop when the blade-coating and/or green-solvents toward large-scale printing are used instead, which hampers the practical development of OSCs. Here, a new series of N-alkyl-tailored small molecule acceptors named YR-SeNF with a same molecular main backbone are developed by combining selenium-fused central-core and naphthalene-fused end-group. Thanks to the N-alkyl engineering, NIR-absorbing YR-SeNF series show different crystallinity, packing patterns, and miscibility with polymeric donor. The studies exhibit that the molecular packing, crystallinity, and vertical distribution of active layer morphologies are well optimized by introducing newly designed guest acceptor associated with tailored N-alkyl chains, providing the improved charge transfer dynamics and stability for the PM6:L8-BO:YR-SeNF-based OSCs. As a result, a record-high PCE approaching 19% is achieved in the blade-coating OSCs fabricated from a green-solvent o-xylene with high-boiling point. Notably, ternary OSCs offer robust operating stability under maximum-power-point tracking and well-keep > 80% of the initial PCEs for even over 400 h. Our alkyl-tailored guest acceptor strategy provides a unique approach to develop green-solvent and blade-coating processed high-efficiency and operating stable OSCs, which paves a way for industrial development.

Abstract
The demand for building-integrated photovoltaics and portable energy systems based on flexible photovoltaic technology such as perovskite embedded with exceptional flexibility and a superior power-to-mass ratio is enormous. The photoactive layer, i.e., the perovskite thin film, as a critical component of flexible perovskite solar cells (F-PSCs), still faces long-term stability issues when deformation occurs due to encountering temperature changes that also affect intrinsic rigidity. This literature investigation summarizes the main factors responsible for the rapid destruction of F-PSCs. We focus on long-term mechanical stability of F-PSCs together with the recent research protocols for improving this performance. Furthermore, we specify the progress in F-PSCs concerning precise design strategies of the functional layer to enhance the flexural endurance of perovskite films, such as internal stress engineering, grain boundary modification, self-healing strategy, and crystallization regulation. The existing challenges of oxygen-moisture stability and advanced encapsulation technologies of F-PSCs are also discussed. As concluding remarks, we propose our viewpoints on the large-scale commercial application of F-PSCs.

Abstract
The increasing demand for flexible electronic devices has risen due to the high interest in electronic textiles (e-textiles). Consequently, the urge to power e-textiles has sparked enormous interest in flexible energy storage devices. One-dimensional (1D) configuration supercapacitors are the most promising technology for textile applications, but often their production involves complex synthesis techniques and expensive materials. This work unveils the use of the novel electrospray deposition (ESD) technique for the deposition of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS). This deposition methodology on conductive carbon yarns creates flexible electrodes with a high surface area. The deposition conditions of PEDOT:PSS were optimized, and their influence on the electrochemical performance of a 1D symmetric supercapacitor with a cellulose-based gel as an electrolyte and a separator was evaluated. The tests herein reported show that these capacitors exhibited a high specific capacitance of 72 mF g-1, an excellent cyclability of more than 85% capacitance retention after 1500 cycles, and an outstanding capability of bending.

Abstract
The neuromorphic systems for sound perception is under highly demanding for the future bioinspired electronics and humanoid robots. However, the sound perception based on volume, tone and timbre remains unknown. Herein, organic optoelectronic synapses (OOSs) are constructed for unprecedented sound recognition. The volume, tone and timbre of sound can be regulated appropriately by the input signal of voltages, frequencies and light intensities of OOSs, according to the amplitude, frequency, and waveform of the sound. The quantitative relation between recognition factor (ζ) and postsynaptic current (I = Ilight - Idark) is established to achieve sound perception. Interestingly, the bell sound for University of Chinese Academy of Sciences is recognized with an accuracy of 99.8%. The mechanism studies reveal that the impedance of the interfacial layers play a critical role in the synaptic performances. This contribution presents unprecedented artificial synapses for sound perception at hardware levels.

Abstract
There has been increasing demand for high-energy density and long-cycle life rechargeable batteries to satisfy the ever-growing requirements for next-generation energy storage systems. Among all available candidates, dual-ion batteries (DIBs) have drawn tremendous attention in the past few years from both academic and industrial battery communities because of their fascinating advantages of high working voltage, excellent safety, and environmental friendliness. However, the dynamic imbalance between the electrodes and the mismatch of traditional electrolyte systems remain elusive. To fully employ the advantages of DIBs, the overall optimization of anode materials, cathode materials, and compatible electrolyte systems is urgently needed. Here, we review the development history and the reaction mechanisms involved in DIBs. Afterward, the optimization strategies toward DIB materials and electrolytes are highlighted. In addition, their energy-related applications are also provided. Lastly, the research challenges and possible development directions of DIBs are outlined.
