Electronic textiles are fundamentally changing the way we live. However, the inability to effectively recycle them is a considerable burden to the environment. In this study, we developed a cotton fiber-based piezoresistive textile (CF p-textile) for biomonitoring which is biocompatible, biodegradable, and environmentally friendly. These CF p-textiles were fabricated using a scalable dip-coating method to adhere MXene flakes to porous cotton cellulose fibers. The adhesion is made stronger by strong hydrogen bonding between MXene flakes and hierar-chically porous cotton cellulose fibers. This cotton-fiber system provides a high sensitivity of 17.73 kPa-1 in a wide pressure range (100 Pa-30 kPa), a 2 Pa subtle pressure detection limit, fast response/recovery time (80/40 ms), and good cycle stability (over 5, 000 cycles). With its compelling sensing performance, the CF p-textile can detect various human biomechanical activities, including pulsation, muscle movement, and swallowing, while still being comfortable to wear. Moreover, the cotton cellulose is decomposed into low-molecular weight cel-lulose or glucose as a result of the 1,4-glycosidic bond breakage when exposed to acid or during natural degradation, which allows the electronic textile to be biodegradable. This work offers an ecologically-benign, cost-effective and facile approach to fabricating high-performance wearable bioelectronics.
