Abstract

With the start of the intelligent age, textiles are no longer limited to safety protection, warmth, and aesthetic purposes. They have become intelligent textiles, which combine functionality, intelligence, and information technology to adapt to the era and enrich our lives, such as wearable textiles and energy harvesting electronics. However, the limited stretchable smart textiles and complex fabrication methods have largely hindered their development. Here, a mass-manufactured 3D stitching double weave fabric-based elastic triboelectric nanogenerator (3DWE-TENG) is developed. Based on its stable electrical output performances and rapid response to external tensile strain, it can be used for energy harvesting and self-powered sensing simultaneously through both the lining layer and the exterior layer. With an advanced 3D structural design and using the improved woven method, 3DWE-TENG can be stretched to 300% and achieves a stable mechanical structure, breathability, and excellent flexibility. Furthermore, it also has low costs, wearable comfortability, and high fabricating efficiency due to the mature woven technique and the common yarns used in the fabric. This work provides more opportunities for stretchable power sources and self-powered sensors with applications in wearable electronics.
