Self‐Sterilizing Face Mask Employing Enzymatic Power Generation
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Electric face mask with flexible biofuel cell integration for on‐the‐go sterilization is developed utilizing ethanol oxidation via alcohol dehydrogenase, and oxygen reduction via bilirubin oxidase. Modified face mask exhibited bacterial death rates of 40–60% at only 20 µA of electric current, easily generated by the biofuel cell continuously over hours

When Cellulose Moves: Smart Sensors and Actuators
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.This review highlights cellulose‐derived soft actuators alongside with cellulose‐based sensors. Emphasis is placed on their integration into multifunctional devices that couple sensing and actuation to mimic natural motion and adaptability. We also discuss the challenges of achieving robust, reversible, and multi‐stimuli‐responsive motion, and outline ...
