However, due to research disparities between materials science and textile engineering, the intrinsic relationship between fiber structural advantages and advanced performance remains unclear, posing significant challenges for the development of wearable electronic devices. This review systematically discusses the fundamental fiber structures and fabrication methods, and summarizes the pathways through which these unique one-dimensional fibers transform into two- and three-dimensional morphologies. Subsequently, performance enhancement strategies are examined from the perspective of structural advantages, alongside an exploration of recent advances in triboelectric E-Fiber-based electronic devices, including energy harvesting, wearable sensors, physiological monitoring, and human-machine interaction. Finally, remaining challenges and future prospects are discussed, aiming to provide a theoretical reference for the development of the next generation of E-Fibers.","PeriodicalId":388,"journal":{"name":"Matter","volume":"134 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148821515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The advanced Zn||Zn symmetric cells operate steadily for 3,800 h, and sustain 680-h lifespan even at 96.6% zinc utilization. Meanwhile, this design criteria demonstrates universal full-cell compatibility and scalable production potential. High-mass-loading full cells using vanadium and iodine cathodes deliver exceptional cycling stability over 1,200 and 2,500 cycles with negligible capacity decay.

Advanced spectroscopic methods raise security, but their reliance on specialized instrumentation hinders practical deployment. Here, we present user-friendly, easily verifiable chiroptical PUFs (CP-PUFs) based on chiral photonic crystal films, where relief-structured surfaces and intrinsic chiral architectures generate structural color and vectorial optical modulation, enabling broadband chiroptical encoding. This stochastic architecture generates multidimensional challenge-response encoding within a single pixel, jointly defined by real-space optical patterns and chiral-space polarization states. The interplay between dye distribution and polarization modulation is systematically elucidated for practical authentication. These CP-PUFs intrinsically encode highly unpredictable, high-entropy chiroptical signals for reliable identity verification. Leveraging stable light-structure chiral interactions, CP-PUFs offer a robust, low-cost, reusable, and portable platform with large encoding capacity for next-generation information security.","PeriodicalId":388,"journal":{"name":"Matter","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148769083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We construct ultradense metal-chelated poly(acrylic acid) networks with uniform Zr–O nodes and sub-100 nm pores, yielding ∼0.3% dangling chains and a 16.99-fold higher crosslinking density than conventional gels, thereby eliminating network heterogeneity. This architecture converts most free water into bound water, establishing a “nanoscaffold-confined aqueous state” that suppresses swelling and freezing. Despite high water content (70%), the hydrogel achieves high strength (69 MPa) and toughness (6 MJ·m−3), while retaining cryo-resistant mechanics down to −40°C. As an electrolyte, it maintains high ionic conductivity from 25°C to −65°C, enabling quasi-solid-state Zn-air batteries to operate over 20,000 cycles at −65°C without capacity decay.","PeriodicalId":388,"journal":{"name":"Matter","volume":"125 25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":18.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148769084","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

LECO enables an advanced, low-penetration Pb-Ag/Si contact configuration with low resistivity, eliminating Al-induced alloying. Simultaneously, the low-corrosivity, highly rheological Al-free paste preserves surface passivation and reduces shading, achieving a high gridline aspect ratio of 0.55 and an exceptional open-circuit voltage (Voc) gain of 10.2 mV.
