You could soon power your garment gizmos without unfashionably toting around a solid bulky battery. In a significant development for wearable technology, a collaborative team of researchers has developed a process to print a textile energy grid that can be charged wirelessly.
Scientists have used a tiny nanofilament to break down two common dye pollutants under the visible light spectrum. The team used x-ray diffraction to characterise the arrangement of atoms in the nanomaterial.
Researchers have found a way to fully integrate technology into fabric, and seamlessly integrate its power source, showing the way forward for textile energy storage devices, creating a flexible wearable supercapacitor patch.
