“…Therefore, the integrated solar cell cannot be formed and folded, highlighting the remaining limitations for achieving complete device flexibility. In 2018, Jung et al 115 could fabricate a textile-based PSPSCs on a Polyester/satin textile substrate. They coated a thin layer of polyurethane (PU) by a paper transfer lamination method on the textile in order to have an even and smother textile substrate surface for solution-processing.…”

During the last few years, textile solar cells with planar and fiber-shaped configurations have attracted enormous research interest. These flexible-type solar cells have a huge potential applicability in self-powered and batteryless electronics, which will impact many sectors, and particularly Internet of Things. Textile solar cells are lightweight, super-flexible, formable, and foldable. Thus, they could be ideal power-harvester alternatives to common flexible solar cells required in smart textiles, electronic textiles, and wearable electronic devices. This review presents a brief overview to fiber-shaped and planar-shaped solar cells, and it introduces the most recent research reports on the different types of textile solar cells, including their fabrication techniques. Finally, their current challenges and limitations with respect to their fabrication methods, and the issues encounter for their implementation and integration in novel devices, are also described.

An increased use in wearable, mobile, and electronic textile sensing devices has led to a desire to keep these devices continuously powered without the need for frequent recharging or bulky energy storage. To achieve this, many have proposed integrating energy harvesting capabilities into clothing: solar energy harvesting has been one of the most investigated avenues for this due to the abundance of solar energy and maturity of photovoltaic technologies. This review provides a comprehensive, contemporary, and accessible overview of electronic textiles that are capable of harvesting solar energy. The review focusses on the suitability of the textile-based energy harvesting devices for wearable applications. While multiple methods have been employed to integrate solar energy harvesting with textiles, there are only a few examples that have led to devices with textile properties.

“…Various approaches to integrate solar energy harvesting capability into textiles have seen a rapid growth during the last two decades: The first attempts were to superficially attach rigid or flexible solar panels onto fabrics; these were limited to functional clothing and futuristic fashion prototypes and were far from the appearance, feel, and durability of regular clothing. Printing, laminating, or coating of organic PVs (OPVs), and hybrid PV such as dye‐sensitised solar cells (DSSC) and perovskite SCs onto textile substrates have dominated most of the textile‐based PV research. Thin film PV laminates such as copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS) and amorphous thin‐film silicon (a‐Si, TF‐Si) have also been extensively explored for textile applications.…”

This work demonstrates a novel and sustainable energy solution in the form of a photovoltaic fabric that can deliver a reliable energy source for wearable and mobile devices. The solar fabric was woven using electronic yarns created by embedding miniature crystalline silicon solar cells connected with fine copper wires within the fibres of a textile yarn. This approach of integrating solar energy harvesting capability within the heart of the textile fabric allows it to retain the flexibility, threedimensional deformability, and moisture and heat transfer characteristics of the fabric. In this investigation, both the design and performance of the solar cell embedded yarns and solar energy harvesting fabrics were explored. These yarns and resultant fabrics were characterised under different light intensities and at different angles of incident light, a critical factor for a wearable device. The solar cell embedded yarns woven into fabrics can undergo domestic laundering and maintained~90% of their original power output after 15 machine wash cycles. The solar fabric embedded with 200 solar cells demonstrated here (44.5 mm × 45.5 mm active area) was capable of continuously generating~2.15 mW/cm 2 under one sun illumination and was capable of powering a basic mobile phone. The power generation capability and durability of the solar energy harvesting fabric proved its viability to power wearable devices as an integral part of regular clothing.
