AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Heating electronic textiles (e-textiles) are widely used for thermal comfort and energy conservation, but prolonged heating raises concerns about heat-related illnesses, especially in the elderly. Despite advancements, achieving universal user satisfaction remains difficult due to diverse thermal needs. This paper introduces an intelligent thermochromic heating e-textile with an artificial intelligence (AI)-based temperature control system for optimized personal comfort and color indicators for elderly caregivers. The fabric integrates conductive yarn, temperature-induced discoloration yarn (TIDY), and polymeric optical fiber (POF) to visualize temperature changes, ensuring efficiency and comfort. Equipped with microcontrollers, ambient sensors, and Bluetooth connectivity, the system offers comprehensive intelligent heating solutions. An AI model, trained on data from 50 wearability test subjects, determines optimal heating temperatures (40-50 °C) with 5.083 mean squared error (MSE), showing a high correlation between predicted and actual comfort levels. This concept enhances thermal comfort and mitigates overheating risks, promising for wearable healthcare applications.

Recently, halide perovskites have been recognized for their thermochromic characteristics, showing significant potential in information encryption applications. However, the limited luminescence color gamut hinders the encryption of complex multicolor information. Herein, for the first time, multicolor thermochromic perovskites with luminescence covering the entire visible spectrum have been designed.

Article Synopsis
- Thermochromic smart windows enhance energy efficiency by controlling thermal exchange but face issues like frost resistance, durability, and high costs which limit their use in architecture.
- A new high-performance thermochromic window, termed SFDA window, overcomes these challenges through an innovative poly(vinyl alcohol) acetal and LiCl solution, ensuring scalability, durability, and adaptability to various climates.
- Testing shows that SFDA windows can significantly reduce energy consumption—by 64.6% in summer and 52.3% in winter—compared to traditional glass windows, with simulations indicating substantial monthly energy savings across multiple cities.

Giving Timely warnings for fire is very crucial for fire prevention and the protection of people's lives and property. However, most current fire warning sensors give warnings above 200 °C, which are not conducive to efficient and accurate warnings. Therefore, it is important to develop high-temperature sensors that can give timely, portable warnings at low temperatures (100 to 200 °C).

Thermochromic textiles possess the capability to indicate ambient temperature through color changes, enabling real-time temperature monitoring and providing temperature warnings for body heat management. In this study, three thermochromic dyes-blue, red, and yellow-were synthesized using crystalline violet lactone (CVL), 6'-(diethylamino)-1',3'-dimethyl-fluoran (DDF), and 3',6'-dimethoxyfluoran (DOF) as leuco dyes, respectively, with biomass tea polyphenol serving as the color developer and tetradecanol as the phase change material. The chemical structures of these dyes were characterized using UV spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and H NMR.
