Wearable electronic textiles (e‐textiles) have emerged as a transformative technology revolutionizing healthcare monitoring and communication by seamlessly integrating with the human body. However, their practical application has been limited by the lack of compatible and sustainable power sources. Various energy sources, including solar, thermal, mechanical, and wind, have been explored for harvesting, leading to diverse energy harvesting technologies, such as photovoltaic, thermoelectric, piezoelectric, and triboelectric systems. Notably, 2D materials have gained significant attention as attractive candidates for energy harvesting and storage in e‐textiles due to their unique properties, such as high surface‐to‐volume ratio, mechanical strength, and electrical conductivity. Textile‐based energy harvesters employing 2D materials offer promising solutions for powering next‐generation smart and wearable devices integrated into clothing. This comprehensive review explores the utilization of 2D materials in textile‐based energy harvesters, covering their preparation, fabrication, and characterization strategies. Recent advancements are highlighted, focusing on the integration of 2D materials and their practical implementations, shedding light on the performance and effectiveness of 2D‐material‐based energy harvesters in e‐textiles, and highlighting their potential as a sustainable alternative to conventional power supplies in wearable technologies.

MXene has indeed gained significant attention in recent years as a promising photocatalyst for various applications, including photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. MXene possesses several unique physical and chemical properties that make it suitable for such applications, including its uniform planar structure, strong metal conductivity, effective functional groups, and numerous derivatives. These properties contribute to the excellent photodegradation performance and long‐term stability exhibited by MXene‐based photocatalysts compared to other photocatalysts. MXene‐based composites, which are formed by incorporating MXene with other materials, demonstrate even better photodegradation activity due to their abundant active sites and porous structure. One crucial factor influencing the photodegradation performance of MXene‐based photocatalysts is the presence of active functional groups on the surface of MXene. These functional groups play a significant role in the photocatalytic process and contribute to the overall efficiency of the catalyst. To provide a broader understanding of MXene‐based photocatalysts, the physicochemical properties of MXene are briefly described in this review. This includes its structural characteristics, electrical conductivity, and the presence of functional groups. This review also investigates the physical and chemical synthesis routes for preparing MXene, both in its natural state and as composites with other materials. These synthesis methods are essential for tailoring the properties of MXene‐based photocatalysts to meet specific requirements. Finally, the review discusses future work and challenges in MXene‐based photocatalysis. This field holds great promise for addressing environmental concerns and improving the degradation of organic compounds. However, further research is needed to optimize the synthesis methods, enhance the photocatalytic efficiency, and explore the practical applications of MXene‐based photocatalysts.

Conductive hydrogel is a novel material that can be used to prepare flexible wearable strain sensors. It paves the way for future uses in electronic skin, human‐computer interaction, and personalized medical monitoring. However, because the majority of conductive hydrogels use pure water as their medium, they will freeze at low temperatures. It will inevitably lose water at room temperature. We developed a PAM/SA/MXene organic hydrogel (denoted as PSMOH). First, MXene nanosheets were added as conductive filler into the double network polymer hydrogel, which was composed of polyacrylamide (PAM) and sodium alginate (SA), we denoted as PSMH. And then immerse the prepared PSMH in a glycerol solution using a solvent displacement method to obtain PSMOH. Even if at extreme temperatures (−30°C), the prepared PSMOH has a strong antifreezing ability and can retain moisture for 8 days. The sensor also has excellent mechanical properties (tensile strain is 1579%), self‐adhesive property, excellent sensitivity (gauge factor is 49.92), low detection limit (1% strain), and excellent fatigue resistance (800 cycles at 30% strain). As a result, the hydrogel can be assembled into a flexible wearable sensor for real‐time monitoring of human motions and other activities.
