Textile-based flexible and wearable electronic devices provide an excellent solution to thermal management systems, thermal therapy, and deicing applications through the Joule heating approach. However, challenges persist in designing such cost-effective electronic devices for efficient heating performance. Herein, this study adopted a facile solution-processed strategy, "dip-coating", to develop a high-performance Joule heating device by unformly coating the intrinsically conducting polymer (CP) poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) onto the surface of cotton textiles. The structural and morphological attributes of the cotton/CP mixture were evaluated using various characterization techniques. The electrothermal characteristics of the cotton/CP sample included rapid thermal response, uniform surface temperature distribution up to 94 °C, excellent stability, and endurance in heating performance under various mechanical deformations. The real-time illustration of the fabric heater affixed on a human finger has demonstrated its outstanding potential for thermal therapy applications. The fabricated heater may further expand it purposes toward deicing, defogging, and defrosting applications.
基于纺织品的柔性可穿戴电子设备通过焦耳热方法为热管理系统、热疗和除冰应用提供了出色的解决方案。然而，在设计这种具有成本效益的电子设备以实现高效加热性能方面，挑战依然存在。在此，本研究采用了一种简便的溶液处理策略——“浸涂”，通过将本征导电聚合物（CP）聚（3,4-乙撑二氧噻吩）-聚（苯乙烯磺酸盐）（PEDOT:PSS）均匀涂覆在棉织物表面，开发出一种高性能焦耳热设备。使用各种表征技术评估了棉/CP混合物的结构和形态属性。棉/CP样品的电热特性包括快速热响应、高达94°C的均匀表面温度分布、出色的稳定性以及在各种机械变形下加热性能的耐久性。贴在人手指上的织物加热器的实时演示证明了其在热疗应用中的巨大潜力。所制备的加热器可能会进一步将其用途扩展到除冰、除雾和除霜应用。
