Self-powered tactile sensor with versatile functions plays a significant role in the development of an intelligent human-machine interaction (HMI) system. Herein, a hybrid self-powered porous-structured tactile sensor (SPTS) is proposed by monolithically integrating a porous triboelectrification-induced electroluminescence (TIEL) component and a single-electrode triboelectric nanogenerator with the high charge generation in the bulk volume. At a low pressure of 10 kPa, TIEL intensity can be significantly improved by three times, which is superior to that in previous reports, with enhanced triboelectricity. Based on the enhancement brought by the porous structure and optimized parameters, the SPTS achieves significant sensing performance in both optical and electrical modes. To demonstrate the potential of practical applications, a programmable optical and electrical dual-mode HMI system is established based on SPTS to remotely control an intelligent vehicle and operate a computer game through identifying finger touch trajectories. This work not only contributes a new economical-effective methodology toward a high-performance tribo-induced self-powered tactile sensor but also facilitates the remote control of HMI with dual-mode functionality, which has broad potential applications in the fields of intelligent robots, augmented reality, flexible wearable electronics, and smart home.

Natural skin receptors use ions as signal carriers, while most of the developed artificial tactile sensors utilize electrons as information carriers. To imitate the biological ionic sensing behavior, here, we present a kind of biomimetic, ionic, and fully passive mechanotransduction mechanism leveraging mechanical modulation of interfacial ionic p-n junction (IPNJ) through microchannels. Sensors based on this mechanism do not rely on an external power supply and can encode external tactile stimuli into highly analogous signal outputs to those of natural skin receptors, in terms of both signal type (i.
