Article Abstract
Humidity monitoring has become extremely vital in various technological fields such as environment control, biomedical engineering, and so on. Therefore, a substantial interest lies in the development of fast and highly sensitive devices with high figures of merit. Self-powered and ultrasensitive humidity sensors based on SnS nanofilms of different film thicknesses have been demonstrated in this work. The sensing behavior has been investigated in the relative humidity (RH) range of 2-99%. The observed results reveal a remarkable response and ultrafast detection even with zero applied bias (self-powered mode), with response and recovery times of ~ 10 and ~ 0.7 s, respectively. The self-powered behavior has been attributed to the inhomogeneities and the asymmetry in the contact electrodes. The highest sensitivity of ~ 5.64 × 10% can be achieved at an applied bias of 5 V. This approach of fabricating such highly responsive, self-powered and ultrafast sensors with simple device architectures will be useful for designing futuristic sensing devices.

Organic photoelectrochemical transistor (OPECT) has emerged as a promising platform for investigating photoactive biomolecular interactions and advancing bioanalytical detection systems. However, many important challenges and hurdles remain implementing high gating effects and sensitive biosensing detection caused by the inherent limitations of the configuration of the photoelectrode structures and innovative biosensing. Inspired by the self-powered photoelectrochemical (PEC) systems and liposomes-assisted bioanalysis for signal amplification, a bipolar-driven poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) OPECT based on CdS/Mixed Metal Metal-Organic Framework (MM-MOF) photoanode and a poly(1,4-diethynylbenzene) (pDEB) cathode is proposed, and exhibits a considerable current gain of ca.

A highly sensitive self-powered biosensor is designed based on gold-platinum nanorods (AuPt NRs) and the cascade reaction of catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) and hybrid chain reaction (HCR) toward the miRNA-141 assay. As a cosignal accelerator, AuPt NRs enhance electrical conductivity between glucose oxidase (GOD) and a carbon paper (CP) electrode, thereby assisting in output signal enhancement. The cascade reaction of CHA-HCR is employed to efficiently amplify the detection signal and improve the sensitivity of the self-powered biosensor.

The integration of ultrasensitive smart human-machine interaction and well skin-like healing capabilities into the biomaterials-based dressing still remains great challenges. Herein, a sort of novel multifunctional lignocellulose dressing is proposed by combining ammonia-oxygen pretreatment with papermaking strategy, which promotes wound healing and achieves synchronous and resolvable self-powered quadruple sensing. In-situ aminated lignin within lignocellulose skeleton and the incorporated foreign natural tea polyphenols (TP) on outer wall synergistically enhanced the polarity of the lignocellulose, the optimized lignocellulose/TP TENG displayed the highest output performance, with the maximum output power of 210.

Conventional top-contact two dimensional (2D) Schottky photodetectors suffer from light shadowing and contact damage, leading to Fermi-level pinning and performance degradation. This work overcomes these limitations by designing a bottom-electrode Schottky photodetector (BE-Schottky PD) based on a Cr/WSe/Au heterostructure. The key innovation involves fabricating the bottom Schottky Cr electrode into pre-etched SiO substrate trenches, making it flush with the surface.
