Abstract：With the rapid advancement of wearable technologies,flexible,lightweight,and high-perform-ance sensing and energy materials have emerged as a research focus.Carbon nanotube(CNT)paper,a self-supporting functional film with a porous network structure,exhibits remarkable application potential in wearable devices owing to its high specific surface area,exceptional electrical/thermal conductivity,fa-vorable mechanical compatibility,and resin affinity.This review systematically summarizes the fabrication techniques and performance optimization strategies of CNT paper-based composites,along with their inno-vative applications in wearable systems.Special emphasis is placed on their cutting-edge designs in flexible sensors,actuators,and miniaturized energy devices(e.g.,flexible batteries,supercapacitors,and tribo-electric nanogenerators).Leveraging their unique advantages,CNT paper-based composites are accelera-ting the transition of wearable technologies toward high-performance,multifunctional,and practical solu-tions.This review can offer technical support and practical guidance for next-generation high-performance wearable technology.
