The CoCrFe@WGNF catalyst exhibits decent oxygen evolution and reduction performance in an alkaline medium, and the resulting ZABs deliver exceptional cycling stability up to 1140 h at 5 mA·cm⁻², superior to the ones based on CoCrFe (340 h) and Pt/C + RuO₂ (220 h).

The excellent stability originates from the unique wrinkled structure of graphene nanoscroll-fibers and CrFe co-doping. The graphene nanoscroll-fibers with abundant wrinkles and tubular channel can serve as a platform for anchoring to NPs by avoiding aggregation and dissolution of NPs, while the co-dopping of Cr and Fe may optimize the electronic structure of Co to boost the performance of ZABs with wide-temperature range.

These OLEDs were subsequently transferred onto textiles. These stretchable OLEDs achieved a remarkable stretchability of up to 150% through optimized kirigami pattern and maintained 100% stretchability when integrated with textiles, preserving the flexibility of a textile substrate. Additionally, the MEM barrier provided ultraviolet (UV) reflection and waterproof properties, ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments. Stretchable OLEDs and stretchable fabric OLEDs demonstrated a high luminance of 18,983 cd/m² and 10,205 cd/m², with minimal emission variation under stretched conditions. Furthermore, the potential of stretchable fabric OLEDs for wearable healthcare applications was evaluated by measuring photoplethysmography (PPG) signals. Stable PPG signals were successfully obtained at a 20% stretched state. Adjusting light source intensity effectively compensated for signal quality degradation caused by stretching.

Herein, a templated chemical vapor deposition strategy was employed to fabricate hierarchical hollow SiC micro/nanofiber sponges (HHSMSs). The directional growth and orderly arrangement of SiC nanorods on the template fibers construct a micro–nano-structured SiC shell layer. By controlling the reaction time, the thickness of this shell layer can be tuned between 0.4 and 3.1 µm.

While textile-based sensors with self-powering capabilities offer comfort and mobility without external power sources, their sensitivity and sensing range for pressure changes fall short compared to those counterparts. To address this challenge, we herein introduce a skin-inspired, permeable, structure-gradient fiber mat (SGFM) for triboelectric pressure-sensing textiles.
