Advanced Materials for Printed Wearable Electrochemical Devices: A Review

Kim, Jayoung, Kumar, Rajan, Bandodkar, Amay J., Wang, Joseph·2017·Advanced Electronic Materials

Abstract

The field of printed wearable electronics has witnessed spectacular growth due to its promise to offer low‐cost, high‐performance devices for a broad range of applications. Among the sub‐fields of printed wearable electronics, printed wearable electrochemical systems are of special importance due to their widespread applications in healthcare, energy and security fields. These systems have opened up new avenues for body‐integrated electronics that were earlier impossible to achieve. These include wearable energy systems and sensors for a wide variety of applications. Much of the success of printed wearable electrochemical systems can be attributed to innovations in materials engineering that have led to novel inks comprising of new nanomaterials, polymers and composites. New generation of printed electrochemical devices include soft, stretchable and anatomically‐compliant devices that enable efficient bio‐integration and withstand high tensile stress associated with on‐body applications. Progress in materials science has also led to the development of self‐healing printed electrochemical systems for wearable applications. This review provides an overview of the key material requirements for ink formulations for realizing efficient wearable electrochemical systems such as batteries, supercapacitors, biofuel cells and sensors. Finally, major challenges impeding the field of wearable electrochemical systems are discussed along with future prospects of this exciting field.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The electrochemical method is the most popular way for sweat analysis owing to relatively high sensitivity and selectivity, rapid response, and good compatibility.

    “The electrochemical method is the most popular way owing to advantages of relatively high sensitivity and selectivity, rapid response, as well as good compatibility (16–19).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
