Abstract
Textile-based devices have gained significant attention because of their excellent flexibility, high sustainability, light weight, comfort, and wide-ranging applications in wearable electronic devices, robotic sensory skins, and biomedical devices. Nanowires (NWs) with high electrical performance and high-aspect ratio can be easily assembled into high-quality network structures, which expands their applications in highly flexible textile-based devices. The combination of different NWs and textiles also renders NWs highly applicable in integrated smart devices. In this chapter, recent progress in high-performance smart textiles based on NW materials is comprehensively described, with emphasis on typically explored NWs including metals, metal oxides, conducting polymers, sulfide, and other semiconductors. Meanwhile, perspectives on future research of NW-based textiles are also discussed.
Keywords: Metal nanowires, metal oxide nanowires, sulfide nanowires, energy storage, optoelectronic devices, solar cells, nanogenerators, photodetectors, lithium batteries
