In recent decades, thriving Internet of Things (IoT) technology has had a profound impact on people's lifestyles through extensive information interaction between humans and intelligent devices. One promising application of IoT is the continuous, real-time monitoring and analysis of body or environmental information by devices worn on or implanted inside the body. This research area, commonly referred to as wearable electronics or wearables, represents a new and rapidly expanding interdisciplinary field. Wearable electronics are devices with specific electronic functions that must be flexible and stretchable. Various novel materials have been proposed in recent years to meet the technical challenges posed by this field, which exhibit significant potential for use in different wearable applications. This article reviews recent progress in the development of emerging nanomaterial-based wearable electronics, with a specific focus on their flexible substrates, conductors, and transducers. Additionally, we discuss the current state-of-the-art applications of nanomaterial-based wearable electronics and provide an outlook on future research directions in this field.
近几十年来，蓬勃发展的物联网（IoT）技术通过人与智能设备之间广泛的信息交互，对人们的生活方式产生了深远影响。物联网的一个有前景的应用是通过佩戴在身体上或植入体内的设备对身体或环境信息进行持续、实时的监测和分析。这个研究领域通常被称为可穿戴电子设备或可穿戴设备，代表了一个新兴且迅速发展的跨学科领域。可穿戴电子设备是具有特定电子功能的设备，必须具备灵活性和可拉伸性。近年来，人们提出了各种新型材料来应对该领域带来的技术挑战，这些材料在不同的可穿戴应用中具有显著的应用潜力。本文综述了基于新兴纳米材料的可穿戴电子设备的最新发展进展，特别关注其柔性基板、导体和传感器。此外，我们还讨论了基于纳米材料的可穿戴电子设备的当前技术应用，并对该领域未来的研究方向进行了展望。
