Paul now goes as far to say that his chains are for Christ which is another amazing truth. He has stepped into the place where his chains are for Christ instead of blaming Christ. He clearly had the power of the Spirit to enable him to endeavor such a feat in his life. There was no mistake to those around him that his chains were for Christ. The result was he allowed his chains to serve a purpose and that was Christ.
We all have chains of some sort in our lives, and some of them can even be found in our workplace. When our chains begin to speak, they rule our lives and they begin to convince us that they own us. The way out is to realize our chains can be the very thingGod uses to speak through us. The chains can become so evident to others that they are being used to speak for Christ. How we handle our weakness of life speaks clearly towho we are trusting. What an opportunity we have when difficulties come our way to allow them to be used to speak for the strength of God.
So go ahead and make His name famous though your trials by making it clear that they are being used by God. Make it clear that these trials are not being used for evil by giving God access to use them for Himself. This movement may take time but know that when we decide to transfer the chains to His ownership they no longer can keep a hold on us. They no longer can own us or hold us back from their divine purpose.
Do others know who owns your chains?

Edric Smith(Photo: Courtesy/Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office)
Sgt. Edric Smith was arrested by University of Louisiana at Monroe police and booked into the Ouachita Parish Correctional Facility on a misdemeanor charge of battery of a school or recreation athletic contest official.
"Our department has been in contact with University Police and a full internal investigation will be conducted along with the criminal investigation by the University Police Department," reads a release issued on Monday by Chief Don Weatherford.
The statement also says the Pineville department is "disappointed by the events surrounding this arrest," although no details were included in the release.
But, according to the affidavit from the arrest, the 45-year-old sergeant attacked an umpire during a softball game on the campus just before 11:30 p.m. Saturday.
Smith apparently claimed that the umpire threatened his daughter, who was playing in a game.
"The victim stated that Smith got nose-to-nose with him and grabbed him by his shirt," it reads. "The victim went on to say that Smith struck him in the face with a closed fist approximately three times.
"The victim stated that he walked away and asked for the police to be called."
Three witnesses reported that Smith had attacked the umpire and, according to the report, Smith admitted that he did.
A man who claimed to be the umpire later spoke to a Monroe television station to elaborate, saying he had warned Smith's daughter about leaving second base early because that's against the rules. The girl then talked to Smith when she reached third base, it reads.
The release from the department states it will follow civil service law in the matter.
"The department takes serious any claim of misconduct and has strict policies regarding an officer's behavior on and off duty," it reads.
Smith, of the 2100 block of Shreveport Highway in Pineville, later was released on a $1,000 bond, according to jail records.

Tuvalu becomes the first Pacific country as well as one of the few in the world, to launch a national action plan on human rights.
Prime Minister Hon. Enele Sopoaga officially launched the Tuvalu National Action Plan yesterday, attended by Tuvalu's government officials.
The National Action Plan is an outcome of a human rights dialogue with Tuvalu members of parliament in 2015, facilitated by the Pacific Community (SPC) with support from the European Union and the Australian Government.
The Prime Minister explained that the Tuvalu government is pleased to present its National Action Plan (NAP), which has been designed to reflect Tuvalu's commitment, priorities and concerted efforts towards building our nation where the human rights of our people are safeguarded and protected.
Acting on recommendations from the human rights dialogue, the Tuvalu government sought SPC's Regional Rights Resources Team's (RRRT) assistance in conducting a series of stakeholder consultations with Government departments, NGOs and communities to identify human rights and social development priorities, and develop one overall national human rights action plan, aligned with Tuvalu's National Development Plan.
The National Action Plan consolidates the country's human rights commitments and ensures a systematic and coordinated approach to the delivery of the government's human rights commitment, as well as to strengthen the government's realisation of human rights in Tuvalu.
It captures Tuvalu's existing commitments under human rights treaties to which it is a state party - the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC); the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and; the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) as well as Tuvalu's commitments under the Universal periodic Review (UPR), the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Te Kakeega III-2016-2020 (TK III), Tuvalu's National Development Plan.
With technical support from RRRT, this model is being pursued with all SPC member states and territories RRRT provides support to ensure a more coordinated and efficient manner of States tracking and monitoring their different commitments and obligations on human rights.
The National Action Plan is available on RRRT's website.
SPC Regional Rights Resource Team.

In my devotions a week or so ago, I read the end of the 27th Psalm and meditated on what it means to wait for the Lord—how it wasn't indicative of a passive faith, but requires an active stance. We see it even more succinctly in Psalm 31:24. In this case, it's hard to say if strength and courage precede the waiting, or if the waiting produces strength and courage. But somehow strength and courage cannot be separated from the commandment—repeated throughout scripture—to wait for the Lord.
And here we only see one verb: esperar in Spanish and espérer in French. What are two distinct ideas in some languages are the same concept in others. And so when we wait for God in English and German, we should take our queue from Romance language speakers and take a more active stance in our waiting. In fact, waiting for God is the equivalent of looking forward to God in English. When we look forward to something, we await it with hope because we know it's going to be something good. This is even better in German, in which I would say, Ich freue mich auf den Herrn. Without the preposition auf, ich freue mich means I'm glad. So when Germans look forward to something, they're not just looking forward to it, they're literally rejoicing at the very idea of what's coming.
So be strong and brave, because when you wait for God, you know the best is yet to come.
I'm not just asking for patience, God, I'm asking for joy. And in that joy I am confident that you will strengthen me and give me the courage I need to face anything that stands between me and you; in Jesus' Name. Amen.
*Harren and warten are synonyms, though most German students are probably familiar only with the much more common warten.

When I tell people about Opera Atelier's ongoing The Angel Speaks project, I always begin with when I saw the very first performance of its first installment, in May 2017.
I was sitting at the back of the Royal Chapel at the Palace of Versailles watching fellow members of Opera Atelier's Medea company and of Tafelmusik perform an attractive selection of Purcell and other English Baroque music, titled Harmonia Sacra, when suddenly there appeared high up on the balcony above, the dramatic figure of what appeared to be a Viking angel playing an exquisite melody on solo violin.This beautiful mystical thread of music then seemed to bring forth, and become tangibly present in, the figure of a dancer (Tyler Gledhill) – another face of the angel – on the ground level with the singers and audience, a figure in search of something or someone. That someone, it became clear, was the Virgin Mary in the person of soprano Mireille Asselin. The violin-playing angel then joined the other two on the ground level, and we in the audience were transfixed as the three embodied the story of the Annunciation in music and choreography in a way that was profoundly moving.
This transformative concert experience was the result of a double commission by Opera Atelier, their first: an original piece of contemporary Canadian music for solo violin, Inception, by acclaimed violinist (and balcony Viking) Edwin Huizinga, combined with new contemporary choreography by longtime OA artist, and in-demand contemporary dancer, Tyler Gledhill.
For me, what was truly extraordinary about this piece was the blending of the Baroque and the new, the music and the choreography, a seamless interweaving with Purcell's dramatic cantata, The Blessed Virgin's Expostulation, beautifully sung by Asselin. Fascinated by what OA co-artistic director Marshall Pynkoski calls this "theatrical intervention" that was so much greater than the sum of its parts, I contacted composer Edwin Huizinga to learn more about his creative journey on this project and how it fits in with his already incredibly multi-faceted career.
This cross-pollination of Baroque and folk music can be seen throughout Huizinga's career although he "grew up in the middle of nowhere (Puslinch, Ontario) listening almost exclusively to classical music on CBC radio," and from an early age was "fascinated with the fact that there was so much Baroque dance music out there that I loved." The folk side of things didn't come in until later.
As a young professional violinist, as he became increasingly immersed in the "world of the Baroque violin, playing with groups like Tafelmusik and Apollo's Fire," he became even more eager to share this music with other colleagues. Also early in his professional career, he was beginning to develop his "other love – of the folk world" playing and writing songs with his Canadian indie band The Wooden Sky. It was as the band toured to festivals across the country "playing folk music for audiences of thousands of amazingly excited young people" that he first thought "why can't we mix these two genres together?" and started brainstorming about ways to do just that.
While Huizinga never went as far as step dancing while playing his violin as Natalie McMaster does (although he has met and greatly admires her) he often refers to this physicality of the music, both how it feels in the body when a musician plays it and how it seems meant to be danced.
All of these things make him an ideal composer for OA to have chosen for The Angel Speaks, and to actually take part in the choreography of his music as an integral part of the storytelling.
Rilke's poem The Annunciation is a strange, mystical, almost surreal, evocation of the arrival of the Angel Gabriel on earth to find the Virgin Mary and tell her that she has been chosen to give birth to the son of God. It is far from a straightforward telling, as the angel seems to have forgotten his mission at first, and does not recognize Mary or possibly even know she is real. He (almost) seems to be in conflict with himself which gives rise to internal tension in the musical scene and the choreography created to go with it. Asselin, in this section, is no longer the Virgin Mary, as she was in Inception, but more, as Huizinga puts it, "an apparition, or avatar, of what is going on in the Angel Gabriel's mind" conveying what he is yearning and searching for and trying to understand.
He continues: "I've had so many thoughts and discussions about the idea of an avatar and how that's one of the (both modern and age-old) concepts that we use to describe the transfer of consciousness and energy into another being. We had to find a way to give Jesse that responsibility as he and Tyler are both aspects of the Angel Gabriel." This concept leads to a beautiful choreographed interaction as Annunciation begins.
In this new version of the project I first witnessed in Versailles in 2017, titled The Angel Speaks, the various pieces are interwoven. Annunciation, telling the story of Gabriel's arrival on earth and struggle to understand his mission, comes first, followed by Purcell's The Blessed Virgin's Expostulation, interwoven with Inception, with the sweet voice of Huizinga's violin answering from above Mary's cries to Gabriel.
The Angel Speaks will be performed in the Royal Ontario Museum's Samuel Hall Currelly Gallery for one performance only on February 21. Interestingly it was at the ROM that Opera Atelier first began presenting Baroque performances in 1985, so it seems extra fitting that they should debut what feels like a new phase of creation in the same setting.
I suggest to him, as our conversation draws to a close, that, along with the exhilaration of composing and creating these new works, it must be a real blast for a musician with his physicality to actually be on stage, with permission to be part of the scripted visual action.
"Absolutely a blast, and also hard to believe, to be honest," he replies.
Opera Atelier's The Angel Speaks will be performed in the Royal Ontario Museum's Samuel Hall Currelly Gallery for one performance only at 8pm on February 21.

Wearable electronics fabricated on lightweight and flexible substrate are believed to have great potential for portable devices, but their applications are limited by the life span of their batteries. We propose a hybridized self-charging power textile system with the aim of simultaneously collecting outdoor sunshine and random body motion energies and then storing them in an energy storage unit. Both of the harvested energies can be easily converted into electricity by using fiber-shaped dye-sensitized solar cells (for solar energy) and fiber-shaped triboelectric nanogenerators (for random body motion energy) and then further stored as chemical energy in fiber-shaped supercapacitors. Because of the all–fiber-shaped structure of the entire system, our proposed hybridized self-charging textile system can be easily woven into electronic textiles to fabricate smart clothes to sustainably operate mobile or wearable electronics.
Wearable electronics fabricated on lightweight and flexible substrate are widely believed to have great potential for portable devices (1–3). Several promising applications, for example e-skin, smartwatches, and bracelets, have been successfully achieved for the replacement of conventional electronic gadgets (4–6). Lightweight and wearable power supply modules with high energy storage performance are desirable for wearable technology. One strategy is to directly integrate a conventional rechargeable energy storage device, such as a battery or a supercapacitor (SC), into fabrics (7–10). This self-powered system is a favorable power platform to be integrated into wearable electronic systems. Fu et al. (11) designed a new type of integrated power fiber by incorporating a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) and a solar cell for harvesting solar energy and storage to realize a self-powered system for driving a commercial light-emitting diode (LED). Du et al. (12) also proposed self-powered electronics by integration of flexible graphene-based SCs into perovskite hybrid solar cells. However, a photovoltaic cell works only under sufficient light illumination, and solar energy is not always available, strongly depending on the weather, working conditions, and so on. The intermittent and unpredictable nature of solar energy is an inevitable challenge for its expansion as a reliable power supply system in wearable electronics. The question of how to scavenge alternative energy from the environment with different types of energy harvesters, to compensate for the insufficient part of the solar energy, is urgent.
To develop a practical strategy to simultaneously scavenge multiple types of energies from the environment, the concept of a hybridized energy harvester incorporating two kinds of conversion cells for concurrently scavenging solar and mechanical energies was proposed, so that the energy resources could be effectively and complementarily used (13–18). Tribolectric nanogenerators (TENGs), are based on the coupling effect of contact electrification and electrostatic induction, and these have now been widely studied to harvest different mechanical energies from the environment (19–23). By using TENGs as the power supply, different types of self-powered systems were successfully demonstrated and realized, such as wireless sensors, chemical sensors, electrochemical reactions, home appliances, and security detection systems (24–28). Furthermore, to expand the practical applications of a TENG-based self-powered system, various structure types of flexible TENGs have been designed for harvesting ambient mechanical energy and, more adequately, for integration into wearable electronic devices (29–31). The high operating voltage of SCs can be directly achieved by charging them using a single TENG unit without additional in-series connection, which compensates for insufficient solar energy (32, 33).
Here, we present a prototype of a fabric-hybridized self-charging power system not only for harvesting solar energy from ambient light but also for gathering mechanical energy from human motion. Both of the harvested energies can be easily converted into electricity by using fiber-shaped DSSCs (F-DSSCs) (for solar energy) and fiber-shaped TENGs (F-TENGs) (for mechanical energy) and then further stored as chemical energy in fiber-shaped SCs (F-SCs). Our proposed hybridized self-charging textile not only achieves reasonable energy conversion and storage capacity but also is inexpensive and can be easily fabricated. In addition, because of the all–fiber-based shape in each device, our proposed hybridized self-charging textile system can be easily woven into electronic textiles to fabricate smart clothes which operate wearable electronic devices.
The double-layer structure of our proposed hybridized self-charging power textile is schematically illustrated in Fig. 1. Three kinds of functional devices, including F-DSSCs, F-SCs, and F-TENGs, can be integrated spontaneously into a conventional textile structure. First, the top layer of the hybridized self-charging power textile is the F-DSSC–based textile, which is woven of several F-DSSC units for harvesting solar energy. Here, DSSC is chosen from numerous photovoltaic cells because DSSC materials and dyes can be tuned for optimization in a variety of lighting conditions, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor applications. Also, DSSCs can also be applied to a variety of substrates that are favorable for constructing the TENG structure. The F-SC–based textile acts as the bottom layer for storing the harvested energies. Meanwhile, each F-DSSC and F-SC unit is connected to one another, forming a single F-TENG unit; this F-TENG–based textile system is built to simultaneously scavenge body motion energy. Transparent and flexible ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) tubing was used to build the basic unit of the self-charging power textile. Before the concurrent operation of the textile, the characterization of each functional device was carried out individually to evaluate its performance.
Fig. 1 Schematic of the self-charging power textile.
Scheme of a fiber-based self-charging power system, which is made of an F-TENG, an F-DSSC as an energy-harvesting fabric, and an F-SC as an energy-storing fabric.
Initially, a single F-DSSC unit with a length of ~10 cm is constructed using N719 dye–sensitized TiO2 nanotube arrays on a Ti wire as a working electrode and a Pt-coated carbon fiber as a counter electrode (CE), which is sealed into Cu-coated EVA tubing containing an I−/I3−-based electrolyte. Cu-coated EVA tubing acts not only as the holder for fabricating an F-DSSC but also as one electrode for F-TENG, which will be discussed later. The wire structure of the F-DSSC unit is schematically illustrated in detail in Fig. 2A. A photograph of a single F-DSSC unit is also presented in Fig. 2B. Figure 2C shows a low-magnification scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of a Ti wire with a diameter of ~200 μm after anodic oxidation. A top-view high-magnification SEM image presented in Fig. 2D shows that the vertically oriented array of one-dimensional (1D) TiO2 nanotubes is well grown on the Ti wire surface via electrochemical anodization, with a similar diameter of ~50 nm. Furthermore, the crystalline phases of the as-prepared TiO2 nanotubes were examined by x-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, as shown in fig. S1. Peaks corresponding to (101), (103), (004), (200), (105), and (211) of the TiO2 anatase phase are observed (34). On the other hand, the SEM images of the Pt-coated carbon fiber and the bare carbon fiber are shown in fig. S2. It can be observed that the diameter of a single fiber (for both the Pt-coated carbon fiber and the pure carbon fiber) is ~10 μm. Homogeneous Pt nanoparticles were well dispersed on the surface of the carbon fiber, as a result of a thermally decomposed process. Afterward, the current-voltage (I-V) characteristic of a single F-DSSC unit was evaluated under standard illumination (100 mW cm−2; AM1.5). Figure 2E shows the photocurrent density–voltage (J-V) curve of a single F-DSSC. The single F-DSSC unit exhibits a short-circuit current density (JSC), an open-circuit voltage (VOC), and a fill factor (FF) of 11.92 mA cm−2, 0.74 V, and 0.64, respectively, corresponding to an overall power conversion efficiency of 5.64%. The dark current is also added in the figure as the reference. The performance of a single F-DSSC with bare carbon fibers is also examined for comparison, as shown in fig. S4. The performance of a single F-DSSC unit at different incident light angles is shown in fig. S5, and a detailed discussion can be found in the Supplementary Materials. A nonvolatile I−/I3−-based electrolyte was used in our study to enhance the long-term stability of the F-DSSC unit. The inset to Fig. 2E shows the electrochemical impedance spectra of a single F-DSSC unit for evaluating the charge transfer resistance in the device, which was measured under VOC with an alternating current (ac) amplitude of 10 mV in the 100 kHz to 10 MHz frequency range. The ohmic series resistance (RS) of a single F-DSSC unit can be determined in the high-frequency region of a Nyquist plot where the phase is zero. The first semicircle in the Nyquist plot at the high-frequency range corresponded to the impedance at the CE/electrolyte interface (Rct1) for the reduction reaction of I3− ions, whereas the second semicircle at the middle frequency range corresponded to the charge-transfer impedance at the TiO2/dye/electrolyte interface (Rct2). The above results provide solid evidence that F-DSSCs had been successfully prepared for harvesting solar energy. To further apply F-DSSCs in our proposed self-charging power textile, the output performance of the F-DSSC at different bending angles should be considered. Figure 2F shows the normalized current density of a single F-DSSC at different bending degrees (from 0° to 180°) under a constant incident light intensity, where the value of the current density (~12 mA cm−2) rarely changed under various bending angles, showing the stability of the photovoltaic device.

F-SCs are introduced in the self-charging power textile as the energy storage unit for F-DSSCs. A single F-SC unit with a length of 10 cm is symmetrically assembled with two carbon fibers coated with RuO2·xH2O in the H3PO4/PVA [poly(vinyl alcohol)] electrolyte and packaged into the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)–covered Cu-coated EVA tubing, as schematically shown in Fig. 3A. PDMS-covered Cu-coated EVA tubing acts not only as the holder for fabricating an F-SC but also as one electrode for F-TENG, which will be discussed later. Two bundles of carbon fibers were separated by a cellulose-based paper septum. A photograph of a single F-SC is shown in Fig. 3B. Here, long-ordered carbon fibers without any binders were directly used as the substrate for fabricating the F-SC owing to their excellent chemical stability and outstanding conductivity (35). RuO2·xH2O was synthesized on carbon fiber bundles by using a vapor-phase hydrothermal method to form binder-free fiber electrodes (36). A low-magnification SEM image of the as-synthesized RuO2·xH2O–coated carbon fibers reveals that several carbon fibers were assembled into a bundle, as shown in Fig. 3C. Figure 3D shows a high-magnification SEM image of RuO2·xH2O coated on a single carbon fiber with a diameter of ~10 μm; it presents the typical "cracked mud" morphology on the surface of carbon fibers. Moreover, the crystalline phase of the as-synthesized fibers is confirmed by XRD patterns (fig. S5), and the peaks for each XRD pattern can be assigned to a typical amorphous RuO2·xH2O with a partly rutile crystalline structure, which is an essential phase to simultaneously obtain high ion and high electron conductivity (37). The electrochemical capacitance properties of a single F-SC unit were further evaluated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and galvanostatic charging/discharging (GCD) techniques. To evaluate the fast charge/discharge ability of the F-SC, we examined CV at different scan rates (from 10 to 100 mV s−1), as shown in Fig. 3E. It can be observed that the CV curves do not distort significantly as the scan rate increases, indicating their good capacitive behavior and high-rate capability. Figure 3F shows the charge/discharge curves of the F-SC at different current densities (from 100 to 1000 μA), with the potential ranging from 0 to 1.2 V. The symmetrically triangle-shaped GCD curves of the F-SC under various current densities can be observed. Moreover, no obvious IR-drop phenomenon can be found even at a short discharging time of 23 s, which reconfirms the outstanding capacitance behavior and the promising charging/discharging performance of the F-SC. As a comparison, the energy storage performances of the carbon fiber without incorporating RuO2 were also measured, as shown in fig. S6. Because the mass-specific capacitance (F g−1) is not suitable for F-SC, the length-specific capacitance (F cm−1) was evaluated and then calculated in this study. Our results reveal that the specific capacitance of 1.9 mF cm−1 can still be retained at a high level under a high current density of 1000 μA, and its energy density is up to 1.37 mJ cm−1, both of which demonstrate a fast charging/discharging ability and a reasonable energy density. The cycling stability of SC is also a critical issue that should be considered. The cycling performance of a single F-SC unit was investigated, as shown in Fig. 3G. No obvious capacitance change can be observed after 5000 cycles at a charging/discharging current of 1000 μA. The PVA/H3PO4 gel electrolyte has also demonstrated excellent cycling stability in our previous work (34). Finally, the capacitance of a single F-SC at different bending angles (from 0° to 180°) was also examined, as shown in Fig. 3H. All of the CV curves for a single F-SC unit with various bending angles exhibit typical and almost overlapping rectangle-like curves, indicating that it is a reliable platform for storing harvested energies with excellent flexibility and promising stability under various bending conditions.

As mentioned before, a pair of single F-TENG units can be built by pairing the F-DSSC with Cu-coated EVA tubing and the F-SC with PDMS-covered Cu-coated EVA tubing. A schematic diagram and a digital photograph of a pair of single F-TENG units are shown in Fig. 4 (A and B, respectively). To elucidate the working mechanism in a simplified model, the relative motion of the two fiber tubes can be simplified as the contact-separation process that occurs between Cu and PDMS, as illustrated in Fig. 4C. In the original state (i), the PDMS surface was charged with negative electrostatic charges and the Cu1 electrode produced positive charges, due to the electrostatic induction and conservation of charges. When the F-TENG was pressed (ii), a shrinkage of the gap between the Cu2 electrode and PDMS would result in induced positive charges accumulating in the Cu2 layer because of the electrostatic induction. Accordingly, free electrons in Cu2 would flow to the Cu1 layer to balance the field. This process produces an instantaneous positive current. It is necessary to note that the charges on PDMS will not be annihilated even when it makes contact with the Cu2 electrode (iii), because the electrostatic charges are naturally impregnated into the insulator PDMS. In the reverse case, when the F-TENG was released (iv), it would recover back to its original state (i) and the internal gap would be increased. Thus, an instantaneous negative current could be produced. Therefore, a contact-separation process of the F-TENG will generate an ac through the load (38–41). The output performance of power generation for a pair of single F-TENG units with a length of ~10 cm was systematically studied via the periodic motion of contacting and separating under controlled frequencies. To analyze the output capability of the F-TENG, we used a linear motor to trigger the pair of single F-TENG units, wherein the maximum distance between the two tubing systems was purposely set at 10 mm. As shown in Fig. 4D, when motion frequencies vary from 1 to 5 Hz, the VOC and transferred charges (QSC) remain constant (~12.6 V and ~4.5 nC, respectively). The short-circuit current (ISC) increases from ~0.06 to ~0.15 μA, revealing a clear increasing trend with the increase in frequency. In other words, the increase in frequency is favorable for the magnitude of ISC. Furthermore, three kinds of F-TENG–based textile with knitting patterns of 1 × 1, 3 × 3, and 5 × 5 nets are fabricated and then characterized under various motion frequencies (1 to 5 Hz), as shown in Fig. 4 (E and F, respectively). It indicates that the values of QSC and ISC at 5 Hz increase with the increase in braided density from 1 × 1 nets (5.4 nC and 0.21 μA) to 3 × 3 nets (11.6 nC and 0.68 μA) and 5 × 5 nets (20.8 nC and 0.91 μA), as a result of the further enlargement of its conductive surface area for electrostatic induction. The VOC remains almost constant because of the unchanged motion distance, as shown in fig. S7. As for wearable energy-harvesting textiles, the capability of F-TENG to withstand harsh bending or deformation is an essential requirement. Therefore, a flexibility test was performed, as shown in Fig. 4E and movie S1. No apparent change in resistance could be observed when a single Cu-coated EVA tubing was bent at different angles (from 0° to 180°). The photograph of the Cu-coated EVA at different bending angles is also shown as insets.

To construct the hybridized self-charging power textile, several F-DSSC and F-SC units were woven into an individual fabric as the textile structure with in-series/parallel connection. An F-TENG–based textile system can be built after connecting both textiles. Figure 5 (A to C) shows a tester who wore our designed hybridized self-charging power textile attached to a T-shirt, which harvests light energy and motion energy based on the tester's daily outdoor and indoor activities, respectively. It is also worth noting that the DSSC can efficiently generate electric power under weak light (42). The equivalent circuit of the hybridized self-charging power textile is shown in Fig. 5D. A bridge rectifier is used to convert the generated current of F-TENG from ac to direct current before charging the F-SC, a diode is used to block the current of F-TENG that goes through an F-DSSC, and all the switches are used to control the circuit. Although the rectifier, diode, and switches are not flexible, it is possible to design them into either a logo or a button, considering their small size. To simply demonstrate the performance of the as-prepared hybridized self-charging power textile, we design the textile structure in a 3 × 3 network, meaning that each fabric was connected to three individual F-DSSC or six F-SC units in series and then woven separately. Figure 5E shows the characteristics of the self-charging behavior by harvesting solar and mechanical contact-separation motion energies via the as-prepared hybridized self-charging power textile. Turning the switch S0 on to connect the F-SC to the circuit, while switch S1 is on and switch S2 is off, will linearly increase the voltage of the F-SC (which takes about 69 s to charge from 0 to 1.8 V), indicating the stable output of F-DSSCs. The top left corner inset in Fig. 5E shows the enlarged curve during the charging period of the F-DSSCs. The I-V curve of three F-DSSCs with in-series connection is shown in fig. S8. However, the F-SCs remained at 1.8 V because the low output voltage of the F-DSSCs limits their reliability and practicability, as shown in the light blue–shaded area. One effective method to solving this problem is to mimic the in-series structure of F-SCs for electrocytes in the electric eel to produce high working voltages, as reported by Sun et al. (43). Here, we introduced the TENG with a high voltage output to directly charge the electrochemical capacitors to a high level, which compensates for the weakness of the DSSC. After turning the switch S2 on, the F-SCs can be charged continuously by the F-TENGs to a higher voltage. The corresponding charging curve is plotted in the light red–shaded area. The bottom right corner inset in Fig. 5E shows the rectified ISC of three-series F-TENGs. It should be noted that further improvement in the charging efficiencies can be achieved by obtaining impedance matching among DSSCs, TENGs, and SCs, because the internal impedance of TENGs is generally several orders of magnitude higher than that of DSSCs and SCs. Traditional electronic devices, such as LEDs, digital watches, and a variety of sensors for temperature, pressure, or medical diagnosis, can be easily powered. We believe that, after large-scale fabrication and further improvement, high-power electronic devices—for example, smart bracelets and portable MP3 players—could be charged by our novel self-powered textile in the near future. Last, the durability of the hybridized self-charging power textile was examined under continuous bending motion for 1000 cycles by the linear motor, as shown in Fig. 5F and movie S2. Normalized QSC values of F-TENGs, ISC values of F-DSSCs, and capacitances of F-SCs were recorded after every 100 times of bending. The insets also display photographs of the textile bent from 0° to 180°. As shown in Fig. 5F, on the basis of their performance, each device showed no significant degradation in performance, confirming their excellent flexibility and stability. The increasing demand for lightweight, highly flexible, stretchable, and washable power modules is one of the critical challenges for the progress of self-powered wearable textiles.

In summary, we demonstrate the concept of a hybridized self-charging power textile system with the aim of simultaneously collecting outdoor sunshine and random body motion energies and then transferring them to an energy-storing cell to sustainably operate mobile or wearable electronics. For a single F-DSSC unit, a VOC of 0.74 V and a JSC of 11.92 mA cm−2 were achieved, corresponding to an overall power conversion efficiency of 5.64%. The F-TENG can take advantage of human motions, such as jogging, to deliver an output current of up to 0.91 μA. The F-SC unit with the excellent pseudocapacitance of the as-synthesized RuO2·xH2O exhibits a promising specific capacitance (1.9 mF cm−1), which makes it an effective and flexible electronic energy storage device. Because of the all–fiber-based shape in each device, our proposed hybridized self-charging textile system can be easily woven into electronic textiles to fabricate smart clothes to operate wearable electronic devices. This work presents a welcome advancement for self-powered systems in wearable technology, which will initiate promising improvements in self-powered flexible displays and wearable electronics, among others. A more complicated design is possible because all of the textiles started from 1D building blocks.

All chemicals were used as received without further treatment. Miniature clear EVA tubing (length, 10 cm; inside diameter, 0.04″; outer diameter, 0.07″; wall thickness, 0.015″) was purchased from McMaster-Carr. Ti wires (diameter, 0.02″; purity, ~99.99%) and PDMS (Sylgard 184 silicone elastomer) were purchased from Alfa Aesar and Dow Corning, respectively.
Ti wires were polished to remove residual metal oxides and then sequentially cleaned with a neutral cleaner, deionized water, and acetone. A highly ordered TiO2 nanotube was fabricated on the Ti wire surface by anodization in 0.3 wt % NH4F/EG solution containing 8 wt % H2O at a voltage of 60 V via a two-electrode electrochemical cell with a Pt wire as a CE for 6 hours (44). After rinsing the surface of the anodized Ti wire with deionized water, the as-prepared Ti wires were gradually annealed to a temperature of 500°C for 1 hour. Afterward, the annealed Ti wires were immersed in 40 mM TiCl4 solution at 70°C for 30 min and then annealed again at 450°C for 30min. After cooling to 80°C, the annealed Ti wires were immersed in a 3 × 10−4 M solution of N719 dye in ACN and tBA (v/v = 1/1) at room temperature for 24 hours. To fabricate the fiber-based CE, we soaked carbon fiber in an H2PtCl6·6H2O aqueous solution (5 mg/ml) for 5 min and then thermally decomposed it at 400°C for 30 min to obtain the Pt-coated carbon fiber, which is used as a CE. To obtain the F-DSSC, we simultaneously inserted a Pt-coated carbon fiber and a dye-sensitized Ti wire into the Cu-coated EVA tubing in parallel and we injected a nonvolatile I−/I3−-based electrolyte (0.1 M LiI, 0.05 M I2, 0.6 M DMPII, and 0.5 M tBP in MPN) into the tubing. Finally, the ends of the tubing were sealed with sealing glue to prevent leakage of the electrolyte.

A bunch of carbon fibers were ultrasonically cleaned in a mixed solution of acetone, EtOH, and deionized water for 10 min and then coated with RuCl3 slurry made from 0.1 g of RuCl3 and 4 ml of EtOH. After drying at 60°C, the carbon fibers were fixed on a shelf and then placed in a 50-ml Teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave with 1 ml of 0.1M NaOH solution. The autoclave was kept in an oven at 190°C for 5 hours and then cooled down to room temperature in air. After washing and drying, RuO2·xH2O–coated carbon fibers were obtained. The PVA/H3PO4 gel electrolyte was prepared by adding 5 g of H3PO4 and 5 g of PVA powder into 50 ml of deionized water. The mixture was heated to 85°C under stirring until the solution became clear. The as-prepared RuO2·xH2O–coated carbon fibers were immersed into PVA/H3PO4 solution for 10 min, with their two-end parts kept above the solution. After being taken out, two fibers were assembled into PDMS-covered Cu-coated tubing, separated by a paper septum and leaving aside the bare part as the electrode terminal.

Commercial miniature clear EVA tubing was used to fabricate the F-TENG. The tubing was cleaned with isopropanol and then washed with abundant deionized water by ultrasonic cleaning. After drying, a copper lead wire was attached to the tubing with conductive adhesive epoxy. Subsequently, a layer of copper electrode was deposited onto one side of the EVA tubing surface by physical vapor deposition with a power of 100 W under Ar atmosphere for 40 min (layer thickness, 1 μm). Afterward, the PDMS elastomer and the curing agent were mixed (w/w = 10/1) and then coated on the surface of the as-prepared Cu-coated EVA tubing through a "dipping and drying" process (45, 46). After drying at room temperature for 12 hours, PDMS-covered Cu-coated EVA tubing was obtained. A single F-TENG unit can be assembled by connecting Cu-coated EVA tubing as a triboelectric electrode and PDMS-covered Cu-coated EVA tubing as another electrode.
First, the as-prepared F-DSSCs and F-SCs could be easily woven as the textile with different net structures, as shown in Fig. 1. The output voltage and capacitance of the as-woven textile could be easily tuned by in-series and/or parallel connection to drive real wearable electronics. To fabricate the hybridized self-charging power textile, the woven F-DSSC textile was used as the top layer to harvest sunlight energy, and the woven F-SC textile was used as the bottom layer to store harvested energies. Meanwhile, both woven textiles simultaneously played as triboelectric layers to gather mechanical energies from human motion, which were then also collected via the woven F-SC textile after rectification.
Field-emission SEM (Hitachi SU8010) was used to measure the morphology and size of the TiO2 nanotube arrays on the Ti wire and RuO2·xH2O–coated carbon fibers. The crystal phase identification of both the as-prepared TiO2 nanotube and RuO2·xH2O was investigated by the XRD system (Bede D1) with Cu-Kα1 radiation (λ = 0.15406 nm). For the electric output measurement of the F-TENG, a linear motor (Linmot E1100) was applied to mimic human motions, driving the TENG contact-separation process. A programmable electrometer (Keithley 6514) was adopted to test the VOC, ISC, and QSC. The software platform was constructed on the basis of LabVIEW, which is capable of realizing real-time data acquisition control and analysis. The J-V characteristic of the F-DSSC was recorded by a Keithley 2400 electrometer under illumination (100 mW/cm2) of simulated solar light (Oriel 91160-1000 equipped with a 450-W Xe lamp; AM1.5). The light intensity was calibrated using a reference Si solar cell (Oriel 70260). The effective area of the F-DSSC was defined by multiplying the length by the diameter of the photoanode. The F-DSSC body remained vertical with the light, whether straight or bending. The electrochemical performance of the F-SC was measured by an electrochemical workstation (Princeton Applied Research VersaSTAT 3). A potentiostat was used to test capacitance properties with CV and GCD techniques. The charging/discharging process of the self-charging power system was tested with a battery analyzer.

The lifestyle here is very relaxed and laid-backed. Think long romantic walks on the beach and snuggling up with a book next to the fireplace rather than a night out clubbing. Thankfully there aren't any night clubs in Paternoster, cos that would just ruin the vibe, but there are some lovely restaurants. We recommend Wolfgat, Gaaitjie and Blikkie Pizzeria. We stayed in a lovely, resonably priced B&B booked through stayinpaternoster.co.za. If you're keen on glamping, be sure to check out Sea Shack. P.S. the sea is freezing, bring a wetsuit!
