Flexible wearable bioelectronics have broad application prospects in areas such as personal health management, drug delivery, motion monitoring, and electronic skin. Recently, A team led by Professor Zhou Ming from Faculty of Chemistry, NENU made a series of progress in flexible wearable bioelectronics field.
The team adopted a unique strategy of “wearing close to the skin”, proposed the concept of “flexible biofuel cells in centrifuge tubes (called iezTube)” for the first time, and solved the problem that sweat biofuel cells “worn on the skin” were difficult to directly generate stable electrical energy in the wearing environment in the past (Figure 1). With the title of “Flexible Biofuel Cell-In-A-Tube (iezTube): An Entirely Self-Contained Biofuel Cell for Wearable Green Bio-energy Harvesting”, this result was published on Advanced Functional Materials, an internationally renowned academic journal. Professor Zhou Ming is the corresponding Author, and Wang Jingjuan, a PhD student, is the first author.
