High electrochemical performance and mechanical reliability are two important properties of the flexible fibrous supercapacitors (FFSCs) used in portable and wearable electronics. Herein, we introduce high-performance and stable FFSCs produced using with a honeycomb-like structure (the key material) acting as a frame for an activated carbon (AC) coating. The honeycomb-like structure facilitates penetration of electrolytes and electron transport in the AC particles. This reduces the contact resistance between the AC and current collector, thereby enhancing the electrochemical energy storage. The FFSCs possess long length and area specific capacitances of 20.8 mF cm and 83.9 mF cm, respectively. In addition, the fabricated FFSCs display a maximum length (area) energy density of 3.98 μW h cm (16.1 μW h cm) at a power density of 0.07 mW cm (1.99 mW cm) and attain an excellent capacitance retention of 91% over 10 000 cycles. Moreover, the supercapacitors exhibit excellent mechanical flexibility with minor increase in capacitance upon bending. Three flexible fibrous supercapacitors in series power a red light-emitting diode, demonstrating the potential application of the flexible fibrous supercapacitors in smart textiles.

Homogeneous mixtures undergo phase separation to generate rich heterogeneous structures as well as enable complex physiological activity and delicate design of artificial materials. Beyond free space, the strong coupling between migrating components and spatial confinement plays a crucial role in determining the essential spatial compartment of phase separation, warranting further continuous exploration. Herein, we report the selective phase separation (SPS) behavior of polymers under a mobile two-dimensional (2D) confinement by graphene oxide (GO) sheets.

Neural-electronic interfaces through delivering electroceuticals to lesions and modulating pathological endogenous electrical environments offer exciting opportunities to treat drug-refractory neurological disorders. Such an interface should ideally be compatible with the neural tissue and aggressive biofluid environment. Unfortunately, no interface specifically designed for the biofluid environments is available so far; instead, simply stacking an encapsulation layer on silicon-based substrates makes them susceptible to biofluid leakage, device malfunction, and foreign-body reactions.
