Superelastic and Ultra‐Soft MXene/CNF Aerogel@PDMS‐Based Dual‐Modal Pressure Sensor for Complex Stimuli Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A triboelectric‐piezoresistive dual‐modal pressure sensor based on superelastic and ultrasoft MXene/cellulose nanofiber (CNF) aerogel@PDMS is fabricated. The sensor exhibits high sensitivity and stable sensing performance via a dual mechanism. Through the effective combination of these two mechanisms, comprehensive monitoring of complex stimuli can be ...
