" As a result, our supercapacitor showed a
high energy density and enabled functional
applications such as powering programmable
electronics, which is needed
for implementing textile-based energy
storage into the real-life applications. "
Drexel researchers have been exploring
the possibility of adapting MXene, a
conductive two-dimensional nanomaterial,
as a coating that can imbue a wide
range of materials with exceptional
properties of conductivity, durability, impermeability
to electromagnetic radiation,
and energy storage.
A flexible textile supercapacitor patch, created by Drexel University researchers, can power a
microcontroller and wirelessly transmit temperature data for nearly two hours without a recharge.

" While there are many materials out
there that can be integrated into textiles,
MXene has a distinct advantage over
other materials because of its natural
conductivity and ability to disperse in water
as a stable colloidal solution. This

means textiles can easily be coated with
MXene without using chemical additives
- and additional production steps - to
get the MXene to adhere to the fabric, "
says Tetiana Hryhorchuk, a doctoral researcher
in the College, and co-author.
Recently, the team has looked at ways
of using conductive MXene yarn to create
textiles that sense and respond to
temperature, movement, and pressure.
But to fully integrate these fabric devices
as " wearables " the researchers also needed
to find a way to weave a power source
into the mix.
" Flexible, stretchable and truly textilegrade
energy storing platforms have so
far remained missing from most e-textile
systems due to the insufficient performance
metrics of current available mateMedical
