High-performance flexible dual-function networks based on MXene hybrid film for human–machine interaction

Abstract

Flexible multifunctional devices can be used in many fields, but it needs to solve the limitations of their integration and mutual interference, which limits their practical applications. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a flexible sensor that can sense multiple signals at the same time and apply it to human physiological monitoring in real-time. Herein, we developed a flexible dual function sensor which used Ti3C2T x MXene/Ag nanowires (Ag NWs)/tissue hybrid film as the sensing materials. The flexible devices exhibit two types of sensing, including high-performance pressure sensing with a high sensitivity and fast response speed, and high-performance humidity sensing with wide detection range of relative humidity. These new functions enable the device to monitor human motion information and human–machine interaction in a personalized way like an electronic skin. The synthesis of Ti3C2T x MXene/Ag NWs/tissue hybrid film provides a material suitable for large-scale preparation for the development of wearable electronic devices with high performance and high integration.
