Flexible power sources are critical to achieve the wide adoption of portable and wearable electronics. Herein, a facile and general strategy of fabricating a fibrous electrode was developed by 3D active coating technology, in which a stepping syringe with electrode paste was synchronously injected onto a rotating conductive wire, distinguished from the conventional direct-write 3D printing without a current collector. A series of such electrodes with different coating weight can be fabricated accurately and efficiently by adjusting critical process parameters following a set of derived equations. The demonstrated fibrous Zn-MnO battery with a high commercial ε-MnO loading of 14.9 mg cm onto a stainless steel wire shows a reasonable energy density of 108 mWh cm, while the fiber-shaped supercapacitor with commercial porous graphene exhibits a high capacitance of 142.9 F g and good durability for bending 10,000 cycles. This work constructs a bridge between materials and fiber-shaped electrodes for flexible energy storage devices.

In this study, the challenge of non-electrochemical activity in carbon nanotube fibers (CNTFs) is addressed by developing a modified chlorosulfonic acid (CSA) densification process specifically developed for directly spun CNTFs. This post-treatment method, well-known for enhancing the physical properties of CNTFs, utilizes the double diffusion phenomenon to efficiently integrate a diverse range of active materials, from conductive polymers like polyaniline (PANI) to metal oxides like nickel oxide (NiO), into the fibers. This universal and cost-effective approach not only simplifies the integration process but also significantly boosts both the electrochemical and physical properties of the fibers.

The one-dimensional (1D) wire-shaped micro-supercapacitors (micro-SCs) hold great structural advantages of low mass/volume with promising applications in wearable electronics. All-solid-state wire-shaped micro-SCs, characterized by their lightweight, high capacitance, flexibility, and robust mechanical stability, have been developing in a promising direction of energy storage devices. These 1D fiber-shaped supercapacitors can be independently operated or woven into various shapes, accommodating diverse applications.

As science and technology advance, people are increasingly inclined to use sustainable and portable wearable electronic devices. The traditional supporting power source, batteries, suffers from issues of flexibility and lifespan, severely constraining the development of wearable devices. Alternatively, the self-powered system, serving as a power source, can effectively collect energy from the surrounding environment, achieving maintenance-free operation and high adaptability, which has attracted widespread research.

Fiber-shaped Li-S batteries are attractive for constructing smart textiles as flexible power solutions due to their high theoretical specific capacity, flexibility and wearability. However, severe interfacial issues, such as the shuttle effect of polysulfides on the cathode side, lead to capacity decay and poor lifespan of the batteries. Herein, we report a fiber-shaped composite cathode with collaborative interface interactions to maintain electrode integrity and boost electrochemical performance.
