We present a novel iontronic barometric pressure sensor based on a gel polymer electrolyte and interdigital electrodes with a much simpler structure than that of existing devices. By introducing high-density microstructures on the gel polymer electrolyte and one side electrode arrangement configuration, the developed sensor offers high performances with an ultrahigh resolution of 10 Pa, an ultrawide barometric pressure-response range from -92 to 7 kPa, a fast response time of ∼15 ms, and excellent long-term stability. The single pressure sensor is able to detect positive and negative barometric pressures without needing any additional means and can operate as a barometric altimeter with a resolution of about one-floor height. The performances of the sensors significantly surpass those of existing barometric pressure sensors. This work provides a new strategy for making high-performance barometric pressure sensors that are highly sought for commercial applications such as altitude detection, negative pressure ambulance, and consumer electronics.
