Technical Field

[0002] With the occurrence of extreme heat weather, the incidence of severe heatstroke is very high. The research and development of textiles that can effectively conduct directional sweat transmission to improve the human body's thermal and moisture comfort and utilize sweat for electrical signal conversion has become increasingly urgent.
[0003] Traditional functional textiles made from natural and chemical fibers can accelerate moisture transfer through fiber modification, fabric design, and finishing processes; however, their diameter scale remains at the micrometer level. Considering the unique scale and interface effects of electrospun micro / nano fibers, and their ease of processing and shaping, rationally combining and designing the structure of electrospun micro / nano fibers with traditional fabrics not only provides new research ideas for functional applications in moisture transfer but also opens up more research directions for multifunctional textiles.
[0004] Compared to traditional power generation technologies, hydroelectric power generation is green and environmentally friendly, requiring no large-scale equipment investment to generate electricity, and making full use of water resources to achieve deep exploitation of hydropower. Sweat is also a type of water resource. Fibers and yarns are integrated into clothing through textile processes. By converting the directional transport of sweat into electrical signals through flowing potential, it can monitor the thermal and moisture comfort of fabrics, providing technical data for smart response textiles and emerging energy harvesting methods.

[0021] (2) Then, using hydrophilic composite yarn and hydrophobic composite yarn as weft yarn and ordinary yarn as warp yarn, the composite fabric hydrophilic layer and hydrophobic layer are woven according to the double-layer fabric structure, and the fabric presents an asymmetrical wetting state on both sides.
[0022] (3) Using metal wire as core wire electrode, a yarn-shaped power generation device with core sheath structure is prepared. It is embedded with the hydrophilic layer of the double-layer fabric and the power generation performance of the sweat enriched in the hydrophilic layer is detected. The performance of the double-layer fabric in pumping sweat is visualized and the signal is converted.
[0023] Preferably, in step (1), the hydrophilic core-sheath composite yarn has ordinary yarn as the core yarn and hydrophilic polyacrylonitrile (PAN) / zinc oxide (ZnO) nanofibers as the sheath covering yarn, and the hydrophobic core-sheath composite yarn has ordinary yarn as the core yarn and hydrophobic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) / zinc oxide (ZnO) or hydrophobic PAN / ZnO nanofibers as the sheath covering yarn, thus forming a difference in wettability.
[0024] In some examples, the core yarn of the hydrophilic core-sheath composite yarn and the hydrophobic core-sheath composite yarn is a common natural fiber or chemical fiber yarn.
[0025] In some examples, the fiber material of the core yarn is one or more of cotton, linen, silk, wool, viscose fiber, regenerated cellulose fiber, or polyester, nylon, acrylic, polypropylene, spandex, vinylon, and chlorofiber. The fiber type of the core yarn can be pure yarn, blended yarn, twisted yarn, or mixed fiber yarn. The fiber length of the core yarn is filament yarn, staple yarn, or a composite yarn of filament and staple fiber.
[0026] Preferably, the hydrophilic PAN / ZnO nanofiber sheath is prepared as follows: First, a composite yarn coated with PAN / zinc salt nanofibers is obtained by conjugate electrospinning, with a spinning solution concentration of 7-18 wt%; then, the obtained coated yarn is heat-treated at a temperature of 100-170℃ for 0.5-24 h; then, the heat-treated fiber is placed in a growth solution for hydrothermal treatment at a temperature range of 60-150℃ for 0.5-20 h, and then dried in an oven to obtain the hydrophilic PAN / ZnO composite yarn.
[0027] Preferably, the growth solution is made by adding hexamethylenetetramine (HMAT) and any one of zinc chloride, zinc acetate, or zinc nitrate in a molar ratio of 1:1 to 3:1 to deionized water and stirring until homogeneous. The total molar volume of the growth solution is 0.01 to 0.5 mol / L, and the ammonia content is 10% to 70%.

Then, the PVDF / zinc salt or PAN / zinc salt composite yarn is immersed in a pretreatment solution for 5-60 minutes, removed and treated in a muffle furnace at 90-200°C for 5-60 minutes, repeated 2-20 times. The composite yarn after repeated treatment is then placed in a growth solution at 80-200°C for 2-30 hours and dried in an oven to obtain the hydrophobic PVDF / ZnO or PAN / ZnO composite yarn.
[0030] Preferably, the pretreatment solution for obtaining the hydrophobic PVDF / ZnO or PAN / ZnO composite yarn is an ethanol solution of anhydrous zinc acetate, with a molar concentration of 0.001–0.05 mol / L. The growth solution is deionized water with HTMA added at a molar ratio of 1:1 and any one of zinc chloride, zinc acetate, or zinc nitrate, and stirred until homogeneous. The dried PVDF / ZnO or PAN / ZnO composite yarn is then immersed in an ethanol solution of magnesium stearate, with a mass fraction of 0.1%–10% in the ethanol solution, to enhance the durability of the yarn.
[0031] The ZnO morphology prepared on the core yarn of the hydrophobic PVDF / ZnO or PAN / ZnO composite yarn is fine needle-like, with a ZnO diameter of 1nm to 300nm. The ZnO diameter on the surface of the hydrophobic composite yarn is smaller than that on the surface of the hydrophilic composite yarn, resulting in different surface roughness of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic structures.
[0032] In some examples, the solvent of the PAN / zinc salt or PVDF / zinc salt electrospinning solution is one of N,N dimethylformamide or N,N dimethylacetamide, and the zinc salt is one of zinc chloride, zinc acetate or zinc nitrate, wherein the ratio of PAN or PVDF to zinc salt is 1:2 to 20:1.
[0033] In some examples, in step (2), hydrophilic PAN / ZnO composite yarn is selected as the outer weft, hydrophobic PVDF / ZnO or PAN / ZnO composite yarn is selected as the inner weft, and ordinary yarn is selected as the outer and inner warp yarns. The outer and inner fabrics are connected together by joining the inner warp and the outer weft, and the outer warp and the inner weft, so that the asymmetrical wetting state is achieved on both sides of the fabric at the same time. The corresponding on-machine weaving parameters are adjusted to weave a double-layer fabric.
[0034] In some examples, the core yarn of the hydrophilic PAN / ZnO composite yarn and the core yarn of the hydrophobic PVDF / ZnO or PAN / ZnO composite yarn can be the same or different, but at different times the hydrophilic properties of the core yarn of the hydrophilic PAN / ZnO composite yarn are better than those of the core yarn of the hydrophobic PVDF / ZnO or PAN / ZnO composite yarn.
[0035] In some examples, the ordinary yarns of the outer and inner warp yarns can be the same or different, but at different times the hydrophilicity of the outer warp yarn is better than that of the inner warp yarn.
[0036] Preferably, in step (3), metal wire A is used as the core electrode, and PAN nanofibers are wrapped around the core electrode A by conjugate electrospinning. Metal wire B is used as another electrode and is inserted into the surface of PAN nanofibers. Then, PAN nanofibers are wrapped around the metal electrode B by conjugate electrospinning to obtain a yarn-shaped electronic device.
[0037] Preferably, the metal wires A and B of the yarn-shaped electronic device are two of aluminum, zinc, iron, tin, copper, silver, platinum, and gold. In electrochemistry, the metal with the higher activity level is the negative electrode, and the metal with the lower activity level is the positive electrode.
[0038] In some examples, the yarn-shaped electronic device is embedded with the hydrophilic layer of a double-layer fabric, and a multimeter is used to connect the positive and negative electrodes of different metal wires at both ends and record the data in real time, so as to analyze the wetting and fluidity of sweat based on the principle of flow potential.
[0039] Preferably, when the yarn-shaped electronic device is embedded in the hydrophilic layer of the double-layer fabric, multiple device units can be connected in series or in parallel through a "staggered and orderly stacking" method to simultaneously increase the voltage and current output through the large-scale integration of the devices.
