Fig. 6

a The schematic illustration to connect arrayed IHPS filaments in parallel via inter-circuits. b Effect of the number of arrays in parallel on the Voc and Isc of the IHPS (mean ± s.d., n = 3). c The photograph and Isc of a 16-paralleled-connected IHPS with 30 units in series. d Activation of PEDOT: PSS-based electrochromic devices by the as-printed IHPS. e The photograph depicts the weaving process of a consecutively-printed IHPS with 15 units in series and 16 arrays in parallel, while the inset provides a schematic representation of its braided structure. f The photograph and Isc of the woven IHPS. g The woven IHPS can be used as a wristband to power a digital wristwatch.
