In this work, a new approach to modifying poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) as a negative triboelectric material using graphene oxide (GO) and a sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) surfactant was reported. A porous PDMS@GO@SDS composite triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) could deliver an output voltage and current of up to 438 V and 11 μA/cm, respectively. These values were 3-fold higher than those of the flat PDMS. The superior performance is attributed to the intensified negative charges on PDMS from the oxygen functional groups of GO and anionic head groups of the SDS molecules. The outstanding performance and straightforward, low-cost fabrication process of the PDMS@GO@SDS TENG would be beneficial for the further development of powerful NGs integrated into wearable electronics and self-charging power cells.

Conductive eutectogels have emerged as candidates for constructing functional flexible electronics as they are free from the constraints posed by inherent defects associated with solvents and feeble network structures. Nevertheless, developing a facile, environmentally friendly, and rapid polymerization strategy for the construction of conductive eutectogels with integrated multifunctionality is still immensely challenging. Herein, a conductive eutectogel is fabricated through a one-step dialdehyde xylan (DAX)/liquid metal (LM)-initiated polymerization of a deep eutectic solvent.

Physiological wound healing process can restore the functional and structural integrity of skin, but is often delayed due to external disturbance. The development of methods for promoting the repair process of skin wounds represents a highly desired and challenging goal. Here, a flexible, self-powered, and multifunctional triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) wound patch (e-patch) is presented for accelerating wound healing through the synergy of electrostimulation and photothermal effect.

The cost-effective and scalable synthesis and patterning of soft nanomaterial composites with improved electrical conductivity and mechanical stretchability remains challenging in wearable devices. This work reports a scalable, low-cost fabrication approach to directly create and pattern crumpled porous graphene/NiS nanocomposites with high mechanical stretchability and electrical conductivity through laser irradiation combined with electrodeposition and a pre-strain strategy. With modulated mechanical stretchability and electrical conductivity, the crumpled graphene/NiS nanocomposite can be readily patterned into target geometries for application in a standalone stretchable sensing platform.

Ammonia sensors are widely used across applications in food monitoring, environmental surveillance, and medical research, where high safety standards are essential. Cellulose-based materials are particularly well-suited to meet these stringent requirements, with significant potential for innovation due to their biodegradability and biocompatibility. Of the various cellulose-based ammonia sensors available, self-powered sensors, especially those based on triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs), stand out for their unique advantages, including the absence of an external power supply, environmental sustainability, and ease of integration.
