Article Abstract
In this study, a novel proton-conducting film was strategically engineered by interfacial manipulation of green and sustainable biomass resources guanine and phosphorylated cellulose nanocrystals (PCNCs) within vermiculite layers. The interfacial engineering approach involved regulation of molecular interactions at the vermiculite-organic interface, whereby PCNCs were incorporated into the interlayers of guanine/vermiculite composites. This interfacial assembly process guided guanine to form tubular structures or ultrathin nanosheets architectures, enabling the fabrication of guanine/vermiculite-PCNCs (G/VMT-PCNCs) composite films with an active-site-rich and tightly interconnected network via a vacuum-assisted process. The rationally designed composite films exhibited excellent proton conductivity, which showed positive correlation with relative humidity (RH) and temperature, reaching 0.50 mS/cm at 25 °C and 97 %. Notably, the optimal composite film achieved a maximum proton conductivity of 1.15 mS/cm at 97 % RH and 80 °C. The interface-engineered structure endowed the humidity sensors based on this composite film with superior performance, including high sensitivity (31.82 Hz/%RH), small hysteresis (0.60 % RH), and rapid response/recovery times (36 s/5 s). The findings provide valuable insights into the design and fabrication of high-performance proton exchange films and humidity sensors, contributing to the advancement of sustainable clean energy technologies.

In this study, employing a 2D electrodeposition in situ assembly method, a high-performance HS sensor based on a p-n type CuO-CuFeO heterostructure ordered nanowire arrays was successfully fabricated on silicon substrates. Compared to CuO, CuO-CuFeO nanowire arrays exhibits an ideal interfacial barrier structure and higher initial resistance, with a response to 10 ppm of HS at room temperature (20 ± 3 °C) increased by 225 times and a response time reduced by over 2400 s. The sensor demonstrates exceptional sensitivity (LOD = 10 ppb; response = 234.

Wearable sensors integrated with deep learning techniques have the potential to revolutionize seamless human-machine interfaces for real-time health monitoring, clinical diagnosis, and robotic applications. Nevertheless, it remains a critical challenge to simultaneously achieve desirable mechanical and electrical performance along with biocompatibility, adhesion, self-healing, and environmental robustness with excellent sensing metrics. Herein, we report a multifunctional, anti-freezing, self-adhesive, and self-healable organogel pressure sensor composed of cobalt nanoparticle encapsulated nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes (CoN CNT) embedded in a polyvinyl alcohol-gelatin (PVA/GLE) matrix.

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.
