    Fiber supercapacitors (FSs) based on transition metal oxides (TMOs) have garnered considerable attention as energy storage solutions for wearable electronics owing to their exceptional characteristics, including superior comfortability and low weights. These materials are known to exhibit high energy densities, high specific capacitances, and fast redox reactions. However, current fabrication methods for these structures primarily rely on chemical deposition, often resulting in undesirable material structures and necessitating the use of additives, which can degrade the electrochemical performance of such structures. Herein, physically deposited TMO nanoribbon yarns generated via delamination engineering of nanopatterned TMO/metal/TMO trilayer arrays are proposed as potential high-performance FSs. To prepare these arrays, the target materials were initially deposited using a nanoline mold, and subsequently, the nanoribbon was suspended through selective plasma etching to obtain the desired twisted yarn structures. Because of the direct formation of TMOs on Ni electrodes, a high energy/power density and excellent electrochemical stability were achieved in asymmetric FS devices incorporating CoNixOy nanoribbon yarns and graphene fibers. Furthermore, a triboelectric nanogenerator, pressure sensor, and flexible light-emitting diode were synergistically combined with the FS. The integration of wearable electronic components, encompassing energy harvesting, energy storage, and powering sensing/display devices, is promising for the development of future smart textiles.
