Power Generation for Wearable Electronics: Designing Electrochemical Storage on Fabrics

We report a new class of textiles with electrochemical functions which, when moistened by a conductive liquid (saline solution, sweat, and wound fluid), generate dc voltage and current levels capable of powering wearable electronics on the go. Contrary to previously reported power generation techniq...
