Printed sensors have been explored for more than two decades and have now gained significant interest in real-world applications due to low cost, simple and scalable fabrication processes. These sensors must satisfy the requirement of long-term usage as wearable devices, especially for health monitoring and rehabilitation purposes. However, when such devices are continuously worn on the body or implanted within the body, they may cause unexpected risk to the patient’s health. To avoid potential health risks, transition to ‘green’ strategies has already begun in the research, design and manufacturing of these sensors. This review is dedicated to offering a snapshot of current realization and future prospects of printed sensors through green strategies. The utilization of eco-friendly and cost-effective materials for sensor components and the adoption of various printing methods are summarized. The reusability and multi-detection capability of printed sensors that are within the scope of green analytical chemistry are discussed.

印刷传感器已经探索了二十多年，由于低成本，简单且可扩展的制造工艺，现在已在实际应用中引起了广泛兴趣。这些传感器必须满足长期用作可穿戴设备的要求，尤其是用于健康监测和康复目的。但是，当此类设备连续佩戴在身体上或植入体内时，可能会对患者的健康造成意想不到的风险。为了避免潜在的健康风险，已经在这些传感器的研究，设计和制造中开始向“绿色”策略过渡。这篇评论致力于通过绿色战略提供打印传感器的当前实现和未来前景的快照。总结了在传感器组件中使用环保且具有成本效益的材料以及采用各种印刷方法的情况。讨论了绿色分析化学范围内的印刷传感器的可重用性和多重检测能力。
