Flexible humidity sensors play important roles in wearable devices and consuming electronics which provide a convenient way between digital and physical worlds. This work presents an easy fabricated method for flexible humidity sensors all based on carbon material including electrodes and functional layers. The interdigital electrodes are made by direct laser writing on commercial Kapton tapes and the transferring to flexible Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrates. The humidity sensing material is reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in nanometer thickness by electrospray. The rGO flakes covered the micro-size laser induced graphite (LIG), forming rGO-graphite balls, dramatically increase surface areas to interact with water molecules. The results show high precision sensitivity and fast response time for adsorption (0.9 s) and desorption (4.5 s). This method provides a novel method for fabricating cost-effective flexible humidity sensors.

Silk fibroin (SF)-based flexible electronic/photonic materials have gained great attention in wearable devices and soft sensors. However, it remains challenging to understand the molecular interaction mechanisms and subsequently fabricate SF-based flexible materials that exhibit fluorescence, humidity sensitivity, and conductivity properties. In this study, by incorporating lanthanide europium ion (Eu), the design and fabrication of a flexible, fluorescent, and conductive SF membrane was proposed.

Bimorph soft actuators, traditionally composed of two materials with distinct responses to external stimuli, often face durability challenges due to structural incompatibility. Here, we propose an alternative design employing free-standing, isostructural heterogeneous Janus (IHJ) films that harmonize stability with high actuation efficiency. These IHJ films were fabricated through a vacuum self-assembly process, consisting of TiCT MXene nanosheets and hybrid graphene oxide (GO)-biomass bacterial cellulose (BC), with a well-matched two-dimensional lattice structure.

This study presents a systematic analysis of the impact of polymer hole transport layers (HTLs) in inverted MAPbI perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Devices were fully fabricated under regular atmospheric conditions (≈40% humidity) and low temperature (100 °C) by using Field's Metal (FM) as an alternative top electrode. The widely known π-conjugated polymers P3HT, PTB7-Th, PBDB-T, and MEH-PPV were used as HTLs, and all of them show suitable energy alignment to MAPbI, offering good moisture stability, solution processability, low cost, and attractiveness for large area and flexible PSCs.

The development of flexible gas sensors is of growing interest in wearable electronics. However, developing a gas sensor with low operating temperature, high sensitivity, and rapid response remains a huge challenge. Herein, we first develop a polyacrylamide-sodium acrylate-sodium citrate (PAM-Na-SC) hydrogel electrolyte, and design a hydrogel-based nitrogen dioxide (NO) gas sensor enabled by zinc-air batteries (ZABs).

Abnormal sweating is closely associated with the occurrence and progression of various serious diseases, yet quantitatively and accurately assessing sweat pore function remains challenging. In this study, a crystalline covalent organic framework (COF) paper was developed for precise sweat pore analysis of sweating disorders. The delicately designed COF system achieved high-contrast sweat-responsive color change through the doping of sweat contents while showing no response to water, greatly enhancing resistance to environmental humidity interference.
