Abstract
A system and method of manufacturing MXene-based coils on textile substrates. The system and method enable wireless charging of embedded devices in textiles, including energy storage, sensors, and wireless charging coils, removing the need for rigid physical connections. The systems manage print content by deposition of MXene ink compositions with a custom-generated coil design comprising specific geometric parameters that are configured to target required performance targets. Such an approach allows for the augmentation of e-textiles with sufficient energy and/or data transmission capacities so as to support the use of a wide range of smart devices and applications.
Claims19
A wearable device that serves as a wireless charging coil, sensor, or energy storage system, the wearable device comprising:
- a first textile substrate;
- and
- an MXene ink composition printed onto the first textile substrate having a coil geometry which includes at least two coil loops, and one or more printing passes, wherein the at least two coil loops comprise a primary coil and a secondary coil, wherein the secondary coil is a printed landing pad that is connected via a MXene-coated yarn to the primary coil.
An e-textile garment that enables wearers to wirelessly power one or more electronic devices or to charge an energy storage system, the e-textile garment comprising:
- a first textile substrate;
- and
- an MXene ink composition printed onto the first textile substrate having a coil geometry which includes at least two coil loops, and one or more printing passes, wherein the at least two coil loops comprise a primary coil and a secondary coil, wherein the secondary coil is a printed landing pad that is connected via a MXene-coated yarn to the primary coil.
