Kai Dong, and Zhong Lin Wang
Lightweight and flexible self-charging power systems with synchronous energy harvesting and energy storage abilities are highly desired in the era of the internet of things and artificial intelligences, which can provide stable, sustainable, and autonomous power sources for ubiquitous, distributed, and low-power wearabLightweight and flexible self-charging power systems with synchronous energy harvesting and energy storage abilities are highly desired in the era of the internet of things and artificial intelligences, which can provide stable, sustainable, and autonomous power sources for ubiquitous, distributed, and low-power wearable electronics. However, there is a lack of comprehensive review and challenging discussion on the state-of-the-art of the triboelectric nanogenetor (TENG)-based self-charging power textiles, which have a great possibility to become the future energy autonomy power sources. Herein, the recent progress of the self-charging power textiles hybridizing fiber/fabric based TENGs and fiber/fabric shaped batteries/supercapacitors is comprehensively summarized from the aspect of textile structural designs. Based on the current research status, the key bottlenecks and brighter prospects of self-charging power textiles are also discussed in the end. It is hoped that the summary and prospect of the latest research of self-charging power textiles can help relevant researchers accurately grasp the research progress, focus on the key scientific and technological issues, and promote further research and practical application process..

Chuan Li, Pei Li, Shuo Yang, and Chunyi Zhi
Flexible batteries are key component of wearable electronic devices. Based on the requirements of medical and primary safety of wearable energy storage devices, rechargeable aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) are promising portable candidates in virtue of its intrinsic safety, abundant storage and low cost. However, manFlexible batteries are key component of wearable electronic devices. Based on the requirements of medical and primary safety of wearable energy storage devices, rechargeable aqueous zinc ion batteries (ZIBs) are promising portable candidates in virtue of its intrinsic safety, abundant storage and low cost. However, many inherent challenges have greatly hindered the development in flexible Zn-based energy storage devices, such as rigid current collector and/or metal anode, easily detached cathode materials and a relatively narrow voltage window of flexible electrolyte. Thus, overcoming these challenges and further developing flexible ZIBs are inevitable and imperative. This review summarizes the most advanced progress in designs and discusses of flexible electrode, electrolyte and the practical application of flexible ZIBs in different environments. We also exhibit the heart of the matter that current flexible ZIBs faces. Finally, some prospective approaches are proposed to address these key issues and point out the direction for the future development of flexible ZIBs..

However, the efficient harvesting of photons is the core hindrance towards efficient, flexible PV. Light management by nanostructures and nanomaterials has opened new pathways for sufficient solar energy harvesting. Nanostructures on top surfaces provide an efficient pathway for the propagation of light. Aside from suppressing incident light reflection, micro-structured back-reflectors reduce transmission via multiple reflections. Nanostructures themselves can be the absorber layer. Photovoltaics based on high-crystallinity nanostructured light absorbers demonstrate enhanced power conversion efficiency (PCE) and excellent mechanical flexibility. To acquire a deep understanding of the impacts of nanostructures, herein, a concise overview of the recent development in the design and application of nanostructures and nanomaterials for photovoltaics is summarized..

Recent advances and prospects of asymmetric non-fullerene small molecule acceptors for polymer solar cells
Liu Ye, Weiyu Ye, and Shiming Zhang

The asymmetric design of the molecule is very benRecently, polymer solar cells developed very fast due to the application of non-fullerence acceptors. Substituting asymmetric small molecules for symmetric small molecule acceptors in the photoactive layer is a strategy to improve the performance of polymer solar cells. The asymmetric design of the molecule is very beneficial for exciton dissociation and charge transport and will also fine-tune the molecular energy level to adjust the open-circuit voltage (Voc) further. The influence on the absorption range and absorption intensity will cause the short-circuit current density (Jsc) to change, resulting in higher device performance. The effect on molecular aggregation and molecular stacking of asymmetric structures can directly change the microscopic morphology, phase separation size, and the active layer's crystallinity. Very recently, thanks to the ingenious design of active layer materials and the optimization of devices, asymmetric non-fullerene polymer solar cells (A-NF-PSCs) have achieved remarkable development. In this review, we have summarized the latest developments in asymmetric small molecule acceptors (A-NF-SMAs) with the acceptor–donor–acceptor (A–D–A) and/or acceptor–donor–acceptor–donor–acceptor (A–D–A–D–A) structures, and the advantages of asymmetric small molecules are explored from the aspects of charge transport, molecular energy level and active layer accumulation morphology..
