Article Abstract

Wearable biosensors are gaining significant attention for their ability to monitor vital health signs remotely, continuously, and non-invasively. Nanomaterials offer transformative potential for next-generation soft wearable sensors, enabling seamless skin integration with enhanced comfort and data accuracy. Wet chemistry provides a scalable, cost-effective approach to producing nanomaterials, transforming rigid sensors into soft, flexible, and stretchable devices for broader wearable applications. This review highlights recent advances in soft wearable biosensors based on wet chemically produced nanomaterials, including metals, carbons, conducting polymers, conductive hydrogels, and liquid metals. It discusses fabrication techniques such as conductive ink formulation, ink delivery, electroless coating, and fiber integration, along with applications in physiological, physical, and biochemical monitoring. The review concludes by addressing challenges and opportunities, emphasizing the potential of these sensors in revolutionizing medical technology and personalized healthcare.

Hydrogels hold great promises in intelligent wearable gesture-to-recognition translation devices, but high mechanical robustness usually encounters low sensitivity and poor cycling stability, it is pivotal and challenging to balance energy dissipation and conductivity. Herein, the soft-hard multiphase hydrogels have been proposed for the first time through noncovalently threading polymerizable deep eutectic solvent (PDES) into hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs). Fluorine groups on HOF (HOF-F) are presented as the hydrogen bond acceptors to form multiple noncovalent interactions between HOF-F and PDES, which expedites the energy dissipation with synchronous increment of ion transport in hydrogels.

The electrochemical reduction of CO to CH offers a promising pathway for renewable energy storage, yet remains limited by sluggish kinetics, poor catalyst stability, and competing hydrogen evolution reactions (HER). Herein, a host-guest strategy is reported for engineering metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) through the encapsulation of conductive polymers to stabilize reticular skeletons and regulate interfacial water for efficient CO-to-CH conversion. Specifically, polypyrrole (PPy) and polyaniline (PANI) are confined within Cu-anchored UiO-67 frameworks, resulting in hybrid catalysts-PPy@Cu-UiO-67 and PANI@Cu-UiO-67-with preserved crystallinity and enhanced electronic conductivity.
