Ultrahighly Sensitive Flexible Pressure Sensors with Dual-Mode Response Based on Monolayer Films of Calcium Niobate Nanosheets.

Flexible pressure sensors present enormous potential for applications in health monitoring, human-machine interfacing, and electronic skins (e-skin). However, at the cost of flexibility, the design of flexible pressure sensors has been facing the trade off between high sensitivity and wide sensing range. Herein, we propose a sandwiched structure composed of monolayer films of calcium niobate nanosheets to endow the device with both ultrahigh sensitivity and a wide sensing range.
