TL;DR: Large energy storage textiles are fabricated by weaving flexible all-solid-state supercapacitor yarns to a 15 cm × 10 cm cloth on a loom and knitting in a woollen wrist band to form a pattern, enabling dual functionalities of energy storage capability and wearability.

TL;DR: A review on advances in this area is presented in this article, where the emphasis is focused on the geometrical structures and models, particular properties and applications of auxetic polymeric materials developed.

TL;DR: This work uses scalably produced highly conductive yarns uniformly covered with zinc (as anode) and nickel cobalt hydroxide nanosheets (as cathode) to fabricate rechargeable yarn batteries, which possess a battery level capacity and energy density, as well as a supercapacitor level power density.

TL;DR: A self- healable yarn-based supercapacitor that ensures the reconnection of broken electrodes has been successfully developed by wrapping magnetic electrodes around a self-healing polymer shell.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used urethane elastic fiber core spun yarns (UY) with intrinsic high stretchability for the first time, as a wearable scaffold for hosting conductive CNT and electrocapacitive PPy to fabricate large-scale highly stretchable yarn electrodes via a simple two-step process (CNTs dipping and PPy electrodeposition).
