Woven Wearable Electronic Textiles as Self-Powered Intelligent Tribo-Sensors for Activity Monitoring.

ABSTRACT: Wearable and shape-adaptive electronic textiles (E-textiles) for human activities detection such as diversity joints motion are highly desired. However, conventional E-textiles still remain great challenges, such as flexibility, air permeability, and large-area fabrication. Here, a fabric E-textile is developed as a self-powered textile for tracking active motion signals. The fiber-shaped coaxial tribo-sensor is fabricated with silver yarn (Ag) and polytetrafluoroethylene yarn, which allows for integrating well with cloths at large scales due to its satisfactory breathability, good washability, and desirable flexibility. Based on the coaxial-structured design, the fabricated E-textile is optimized to generate the output performance with maximum short-current (I sc) of 90 nA and open-voltag
