Recent Progress in Flexible Microstructural Pressure Sensors toward Human-Machine Interaction and Healthcare Applications.

With the rapid growth of artificial intelligence, wearable electronic devices have caught intensive research interest recently. Flexible sensors, as the significant part of them, have become the focus of research. Particularly, flexible microstructural pressure sensors (FMPSs) have attracted extensive attention because of their controllable shape, small size, and high sensitivity.

Free-Standing, Flexible Carbon@MXene Films with Cross-Linked Mesoporous Structures toward Supercapacitors and Pressure Sensors.

The preparation of multifunctional materials with low cost and simple synthesis processes is still challenging. Herein, by employing various sizes (50-500 nm) of polystyrene (PS) spheres as templates, different free-standing carbon@MXene films with three-dimensional (3D) mesoporous structures were fabricated through a simple multistep route. The microstructure, composition, mechanical property, conductivity, electrochemical activity, and sensing characteristics of these carbon@MXene films were investigated in detail.
