Fig. 1: Schematic representation of steps involved in the fabrication of siloxene SCSPC.

a represents the preparation of siloxene sheets via topochemical deintercalation of calcium from CaSi2 in the presence of ice-cold HCl solution, b represents the fabrication process involved in the electrospinning of siloxene/PVDF piezofibers, and c indicates the fabrication of a siloxene SCSPC device using siloxene sheets-coated carbon cloth as two symmetric electrodes and electrospun siloxene–PVDF piezofibers impregnated with ionogel electrolyte as the separator.
