- Humans rely increasingly on sensors to address grand challenges and to improve quality of life in the era of digitalization and big data. For ubiquitous sensing, flexible sensors are developed to overcome the limitations of conventional rigid counterparts. Despite rapid advancement in bench-side research over the last decade, the market adoption of flexible sensors remains limited. To ease and to expedite their deployment, here, we identify bottlenecks hindering the maturation of flexible sensors and propose promising solutions. We first analyze challenges in achieving satisfactory sensing performance for real-world applications and then summarize issues in compatible sensor-biology interfaces, followed by brief discussions on powering and connecting sensor networks. Issues en route to commercialization and for sustainable growth of the sector are also analyzed, highlighting environmental concerns and emphasizing nontechnical issues such as business, regulatory, and ethical considerations. Additionally, we look at future intelligent flexible sensors. In proposing a comprehensive roadmap, we hope to steer research efforts towards common goals and to guide coordinated development strategies from disparate communities. Through such collaborative efforts, scientific breakthroughs can be made sooner and capitalized for the betterment of humanity.

- Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) and nanocellulose represent emerging and traditional porous materials, respectively. The combination of these two materials in specific ways could generate novel nanomaterials with integrated advantages and versatile functionalities. This study outlines the development of hierarchical porous and conductive nanosheets based on zeolitic imidazolate framework-67 (ZIF-67, a Co-based MOF)-templated Co–Ni layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanocages, Cladophora cellulose (CC) nanofibers, and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The LDH–CC–CNT nanosheets can be used as flexible and foldable electrodes for energy storage devices (ESDs). The electrodes are associated with a high areal capacitance of up to 1979 mF cm−2 at a potential scan rate of 1 mV s−1. A flexible, foldable, and hybrid ESD is assembled from LDH–CC–CNT and CC–CNT electrodes with a PVA/KOH gel. The entire device has an areal capacitance of 168 mF cm−2 and an energy density of 0.6 mW h cm−3 (60 μW h cm−2), at a power density of 8.0 mW cm−3 (0.8 mW cm−2). These promising results demonstrate the potential of using MOFs and sustainable cellulose in flexible, foldable electronic energy storage devices.

- Conductive metal–organic frameworks (c-MOFs) show great potential in electrochemical energy storage thanks to their high electrical conductivity and highly accessible surface areas. However, there are significant challenges in processing c-MOFs for practical applications. Here, we report on the fabrication of c-MOF nanolayers on cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) with formation of nanofibrillar CNF@c-MOF by interfacial synthesis, in which CNFs serve as substrates for growth of c-MOF nanolayers. The obtained hybrid nanofibers of CNF@c-MOF can be easily assembled into freestanding nanopapers, demonstrating high electrical conductivity of up to 100 S cm–1, hierarchical micromesoporosity, and excellent mechanical properties. Given these advantages, the nanopapers are tested as electrodes in a flexible and foldable supercapacitor. The high conductivity and hierarchical porous structure of the electrodes endow fast charge transfer and efficient electrolyte transport, respectively. Furthermore, the assembled supercapacitor shows extremely high cycle stability with capacitance retentions of >99% after 10000 continuous charge–discharge cycles. This work provides a pathway to develop flexible energy storage devices based on sustainable cellulose and MOFs.
