Though the widely available, low-cost, and disposable papers have been explored in flexible paper-based pressure sensors, it is still difficult for them to simultaneously achieve ultrahigh sensitivity, low limit broad range of detection, high-pressure resolution. Herein, we demonstrate a novel sensing platform that features MXene-coated tissue paper (MTP) sandwiched between polyimide encapsulation layer printing with interdigital electrodes. After replacing weighing MTP sensor, silver...
Abstract One of the key challenges in developing gel‐based electronics is to achieve a robust sensing performance, by overcoming intrinsic weaknesses such as unwanted swelling induced deformation, signal distortion caused dehydration, and large hysteresis signal. In this work, structural gel composite (SGC) approach presented encapsulating conductive hydrogel/MXene with lipid (Lipogel) layer through an situ polymerization. The hydrophobic Lipogel coating fulfills SGC unique anti‐swelling...

Abstract Emerging health monitoring bioelectronics require energy storage units with improved stretchability, biocompatibility, and self‐charging capability. Stretchable supercapacitors hold great potential for such systems due to their superior specific capacitances, power densities, tissue‐conforming properties, as compared both batteries conventional capacitors. Despite the rapid progress that has been made in supercapacitor research, practical applications have yet be achieved, requiring...
Thin film fabrication is of great importance in modern engineering. Here, we propose a universal and conformal thin technique enabled by the wetting empowered interfacial self-assembly. By tailoring contact angle nanoparticle (NP), NP monolayer can be assembled instantly (within 5 seconds) with an excellent harvesting efficiency (up to 97.5 weight %). This self-assembly strategy presents applicability on various materials, e.g., nonmetal, metal, core-shell structures, achieve same in-plane...
