Three-dimensional (3-D) porous graphitic structures have great potential for sensing applications due to their conductive carbon networks and large surface area. In this work, we present a method for facile fabrication of hair-like laser induced graphene (LIG) patterns using a laser scribing system equipped with a 355 nm pulsed laser. The polyimide (PI) film was positioned on a defocused plane and irradiated at a slow scanning speed using a misaligned laser beam. These patterns have the advantages of a large surface area and abundant oxidation groups. We have applied the hair-like LIG patterns to a humidity sensor. The humidity sensor showed good sensitivity characteristics and a large amount of electronic carriers can be stored.

A novel, to the best of our knowledge, optical fiber whispering-gallery mode (WGM) sensor for simultaneously measuring humidity and temperature is proposed and investigated. The proposed sensor is realized by a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-coated capillary tube coupling with an optical single-mode fiber (SMF), which is integrated with a fiber Bragg grating (FBG). The as-fabricated sensor can be used not only for relative humidity (RH) sensing but also for temperature detection.

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.

The rapid development of flexible electronics necessitates simplified processes that integrate heterogeneous materials and structures. In this study, laser engraving is combined with electrochemical deposition (ECD) to directly fabricate various micro/nano-structured components and flexible electronic circuits. A theoretical framework and simulation model are developed to design the on-demand ECD on laser induced graphene (LIG), enabling the generation of multi-scale copper (Cu) materials with controllable oxidation states.

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.
