Nowadays, sensor devices are developing fast. It is therefore critical, at a time when the availability and recyclability of materials are, along with acceptability from the consumers, among the most important criteria used by industrials before pushing a device to market, to review the most recent advances related to functional electronic materials, substrates or packaging materials with natural origins and/or presenting good recyclability. This review proposes, in the first section, passive materials used as substrates, supporting matrixes or packaging, whether organic or inorganic, then active materials such as conductors or semiconductors. The last section is dedicated to the review of pertinent sensors and devices integrated in sensors, along with their fabrication methods.

“…In order to tackle the environmental problems caused by nonbiodegradable and toxic materials commonly found in electronics, the development of eco-friendly biopolymer-based devices is of major concern to the scientific community (Li et al, 2020). Polysaccharides are key biopolymers for electronic appliances, some applications are memory devices (Hosseini & Lee, 2015), sensors (Sadasivuni et al, 2015), transistor-energy devices (Li et al, 2016), polymer electrolytes (Torres, Arroyo, Alvarez et al, 2019; and photocatalytic H 2 production (Ke et al, 2009).…”

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are versatile electronic devices used for environmental energy harvesting and self-powered electronics with a wide range of potential applications. The rapid development of TENGs has caused great concern regarding the environmental impacts of conventional electronic devices. Under this context, researching alternatives to synthetic and toxic materials in electronics are of major significance. In this review, we focused on TENGs based on natural polysaccharide materials. Firstly, a general overview of the working mechanisms and materials for high-performance TENGs were summarized and discussed. Then, the recent progress of polysaccharide-based TENGs along with their potential applications reported in the literature from 2015 to 2020 was reviewed. Here, we aimed to present polysaccharide polymers as a promising and viable alternative to the development of green TENGs and tackle the challenges of recycling e-wastes.

In order to replace nonrenewable resources and decrease electronic waste disposal, there is a rapidly rising demand for the utilization of reproducible and degradable biopolymers in flexible electronics. Natural biopolymers have many remarkable characteristics, including light weight, excellent mechanical properties, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, low cost, etc. Thanks to these superior merits, natural functional biopolymers can be designed and optimized for the development of high-performance flexible electronic devices. Herein, we provide an insightful overview of the unique structures, properties and applications of biopolymers for electronic skins (e-skins) and flexible strain sensors. The relationships between properties and sensing performances of biopolymers-based sensors are also investigated. The functional design strategies and fabrication technologies for biopolymers-based flexible sensors are proposed. Furthermore, the research progresses of biopolymers-based sensors with various functions are described in detail. Finally, we provide some useful viewpoints and future prospects of developing biopolymers-based flexible sensors.
