This paper reviews the latest research results of energy storage in wearable smart clothing in the world in recent years. This study was jointly developed by the clothing designer team and the
The flexible OPV-EC thermoregulatory clothing (OETC) can extend the human thermal comfort zone from 22°–28°C to 12.5°–37.6°C with a fast thermoregulation rate. The low energy consumption and high efficiency of
Fashion now serves a function as energy harvesting textiles generate power. Innovative fashion energy storage products adorn our bodies. Movement provides the energy source: fabrics harness mechanical energy.
Preliminary measured drying time of fabric sample using ultrasonic cold drying compared to heat drying at 20, 50, 60 and 80°C. A non-optimized, off-the-shelf low-energy-consumption
Integrated Modified Energy Factor (IMEF) is a measure of energy efficiency that considers the energy used by the washer during the cycle and while on standby, the energy used to heat the
Low Heat Setting - ENERGY STAR clothes dryers use lower temperatures than standard clothes dryers, generally. Delayed Start – Delay start gives you the option of setting the dryer to begin
Textiles offer the ideal platform to develop thermoelectric (TE) clothing for body heat harvesting and personal thermoregulation. Herein, textiles used in everyday clothing are adapted to fabricate a flexible and vertical TE
Additionally, the integration of energy storage devices is crucial for enabling the operation of wearable devices during periods when energy harvesting is in inactive mode. Researchers
Other reported materials such as the poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS), 84 CNF, 96 and AgNW composite fiber, 64 also showed great potential in wearable fabric energy storage. These materials possess high stability, excellent mechanical properties and high electrical conductivity. 123,143
Attributed to the inherent excellent mechanical reliability and flexibility of the yarn-shaped or fiber-shaped fabric energy storage devices, it could withstand large mechanical deformations. Even if it is treated by weaving, sewing, cutting, etc., it will not have an excessive impact on the performance of the textile-based energy storage device.
The advancement of bidirectional thermoregulatory clothing, fueled by solar energy, holds promise for stimulating additional research in the field of thermoregulatory clothing systems. Nevertheless, there remains considerable scope for enhancement, such as rendering thermoregulatory garments washable for daily use.
We developed a flexible and sustainable personal thermoregulatory clothing system by integrating a flexible organic photovoltaic (OPV) module to directly acquire energy from sunlight and bidirectional electrocaloric (EC) devices.
Therefore, developing an all-day, self-powered, bidirectional thermoregulatory clothing system capable of rapidly responding to various complex or quick environmental temperature changes and keeping the human body in a comfortable temperature zone remains a challenging goal (29). The systems must harvest energy to achieve all-day thermoregulation.
The device can also harness energy from a range of human movements from locations on the arm, leg, hand and elbow. Additionally, the power generated by the device was used to drive 100 LEDs and charge various capacitors, demonstrating the potential for supplying electricity to a range of wearable electronic devices.
