Traditional weaving craft for one-piece self-charging power textile for wearable electronics

Combing the fabric triboelectric nanogenerator and woven supercapacitor, a one-piece self-charging power textile is demonstrated for simultaneously harvesting and storing body motion energy to sustainably drive wearable electronics. Unlikely the previous supercapacitors entangled with two fibers in parallel and then sewed on fabric, the symmetric supercapacitor is formed during the weaving process with a cotton separator between two fiber electrodes, which provides a stable electrode structure.424
