We report the piezotronic effect on the performance of humidity detection based on a back-to-back Schottky contacted monolayer MoS device. By introducing an upswept mechanical strain, the in-plane electrical polarization can be induced at the MoS/metal junction region. The polarization charges can modify the Schottky barrier height at the interface of MoS/metal junction, subsequently improving the sensitivity of the humidity sensing. An energy band diagram is proposed to explain the experiment phenomenon of the humidity sensor. This work provides a simple way to enhance the sensitivity of ultrathin two-dimensional-materials-based sensors by the piezotronic effect, which has great potential applications in electronic skin, human-computer interfacing, gas sensing, and environment monitoring.

Formaldehyde (HCHO) is a harmful volatile organic pollutant, which is commonly found in interior decoration and furniture products. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a gas sensor that can quickly and accurately detect formaldehyde for human health and environmental protection. In order to achieve this goal, in this work, SnS/SnO heterostructure was synthesized by in-situ sulfurization process on the basis of SnO nanospheres, and its formaldehyde sensing performance was studied.

The analysis of human exhaled gas is crucial for early and noninvasive diagnosis. However, the complex composition and high-humidity of exhaled gas pose significant challenges to the application of gas sensors. This research focuses on the development of a chemiresistive ammonia sensor based on the polyaniline/tin disulfide (PANI/SnS) heterojunction, which is fabricated by hydrothermal and in-situ polymerization techniques.

High selectivity and sensitivity sensing of HS gas play a decisive role in the early detection of sulfide solid-state battery failure. Herein, we construct the CsPbBr perovskite-based sensor that exhibits outstanding gas-sensing performance to HS at room temperature, including high selectivity, fast response/recovery speed (73.5/275.

Flexible on-skin electronics present tremendous popularity in intelligent electronic skins (e-skins), healthcare monitoring, and human-machine interfaces. However, the reported e-skins can hardly provide high permeability, good stretchability, and large sensitivity and are limited in long-term stability and efficient recyclability when worn on the human body. Herein, inspired from the human skin, a permeable, stretchable, and recyclable cellulose aerogel-based electronic system is developed by sandwiching a screen-printed silver sensing layer between a biocompatible CNF/HPC/PVA (cellulose nanofiber/hydroxypropyl cellulose/poly(vinyl alcohol)) aerogel hypodermis layer and a permeable polyurethane layer as the epidermis layer.

Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) have gained increasing attention due to their robust mechanical properties, favorable biocompatibility, and facile surface modification. However, green and recyclable CNF production remains challenging. Herein, a green, low-cost and room-temperature strategy was developed to exfoliate CNFs using deep eutectic solvents.
