Dual-Stage Surficial Microstructure to Enhance the Sensitivity of MXene Pressure Sensors for Human Physiological Signal Acquisition

Accompanying the rapid growth of wearable electronics, flexible pressure sensors have received great interest due to their promising application in health monitoring, human-machine interfaces, and intelligent robotics. The high sensitivity over a wide responsive range, integrated with excellent repeatability, is a crucial requirement for the fabrication of reliable pressure sensors for various wearable scenes. In this work, we developed a highly sensitive and long-life flexible pressure sensor by constructing surficial microarrayed architecture polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film as a substrate and Ti3C2TX MXene/bacterial cellulose (BC) hybrid as an active sensing layer. The specific surficial morphology of PDMS couples with nanointercalated structure of Ti3C2Tx MXene/BC can effectively improve the sensitivity through controlling the stress distribution and layer spacing under different levels of pressure loading. In addition, abundant spontaneous hydrogen bonds between BC and Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets endow the MXene coating with highly adhesive strength on the PDMS surface; hence, the cyclic stability of the pressure sensor is greatly boosted. As a result, the obtained MXene/BC/PDMS (MBP) pressure sensor delivers high sensitivity (528.87 kPa-1), fast response/recovery time (45 ms/29 ms), low detection limit (0.6 Pa), and outstanding repeatability of up to 8000 cycles. Those excellent sensing properties of the MBP sensor allow it to serve as a reliable wearable device to monitor full-range human physiological motions, and it is expected to be applied in next-generation portable electronics, such as E-skins, smart healthcare, and the Internet of Things technology.
