Researchers are showing an increasing interest in high-performance flexible pressure sensors owing to their potential uses in wearable electronics, bionic skin, and human–machine interactions, etc. However, the vast majority of these flexible pressure sensors require extensive nano-architectural design, which both complicates their manufacturing and is time-consuming. Thus, a low-cost technology which can be applied on a large scale is highly desirable for the manufacture of flexible pressure-sensitive materials that have a high sensitivity over a wide range of pressures. This work is based on the use of a three-dimensional elastic porous carbon nanotubes (CNTs) sponge as the conductive layer to fabricate a novel flexible piezoresistive sensor. The synthesis of a CNTs sponge was achieved by chemical vapor deposition, the basic underlying principle governing the sensing behavior of the CNTs sponge-based pressure sensor and was illustrated by employing in situ scanning electron microscopy. The CNTs sponge-based sensor has a quick response time of ~105 ms, a high sensitivity extending across a broad pressure range (less than 10 kPa for 809 kPa−1) and possesses an outstanding permanence over 4,000 cycles. Furthermore, a 16-pixel wireless sensor system was designed and a series of applications have been demonstrated. Its potential applications in the visualizing pressure distribution and an example of human–machine communication were also demonstrated.

AbstractIn recent years, flexible stress sensors capable of monitoring diverse body movements and physiological signals have been attracting great attention in the fields of healthcare systems, human–machine interfaces, and wearable electronics. Inspired by the structure of natural eggshell inner membrane (ESIM), we developed a pressure sensor based on MXene (Ti3C2Tx)/Ag NWs (silver nanowires) composite electrodes and the micro-structured dielectric layer to meet the application requirements of wide detection range and long-term stability for the sensors. In the light of the nanoscale-microarray of the dielectric layer and the rough surface of electrode materials, this pressure sensor is expected to allow great and persistent deformation during the loading process. As a result, the device is characterized by an improved sensitivity, fast response (in the millisecond range), wide detection range (0–600 kPa), and long-term stability. The outstanding performance of the proposed sensor makes it possible to detect various human activities, such as speaking, air blowing, clenching, walking, finger/knee/elbow bending, and striking, demonstrating its good application prospects in wearable and flexible electronic devices.
