Scalable production of graphene-based wearable electronic textiles

Graphene-based wearable electronic textiles are preferred over traditional metal-based technologies. However, its preparation process is complicated and is currently not suitable for industrial mass production. In this study, they reported a simple, scalable, low-cost method for the production of graphene-based wearable electronic textiles by chemical reduction of graphene oxide (GO) to reduce graphene oxide. (rGO) is uniformly dispersed and applied to textiles by a simple drying process. The process produces a conductive graphene-based electronic textile in about one minute in about one meter. The graphene-based electronic textile material obtained is durable, washable, and soft to the touch. The rGO coating increases the tensile strength and flexibility of the cotton fabric because the percent strain increases at maximum load. They also demonstrated that graphene-based electronic textiles so designed may be used in wearable electronics to monitor physical activity. This may result in a versatile single graphene electrospun garment that can act as a sensor and a flexible heating element driven by the energy stored by the graphene supercapacitor. Another possibility is to become a versatile graphene-based electro-textile garment that combines the function of a sensor with the addition of flexible heating driven by the energy stored in a graphene-based textile supercapacitor throughout the garment. element.
