Abstract Flexible temperature sensors have been extensively investigated due to their prospect of wide application in various flexible electronic products. However, most the current only work well a narrow range, with at high or low temperatures still being big challenge. This proposes thermocouple sensor based on aerogel blanket substrate, temperature-sensitive layer which uses screen-printing technology prepare indium oxide and tin oxide. It has good sensitivity, test sensitivity reaching...

Abstract High-temperature thin-film thermocouples (TFTCs) have attracted significant attention in the aerospace and steel metallurgy industry. However, previous studies on TFTCs primarily focused two-dimensional planar-type, whose thermal sensitive area has to be perpendicular test environment, therefore affects fluids pattern or loses accuracy. In order address this problem, recent developed three-dimensional probe-type TFTCs, which can set parallel environment. Nevertheless, are limited by...
