The flexible and wearable capacitive pressure sensors are widely used in healthcare monitoring, robotics manufacture and military equipment. These types of highly sensitive pressure sensors can be realized by designing micro-structure electrodes or dielectric layers on a wearable smart device. Herein, we prepare a flexible and conductive electrode through electrospinning of palladium ions (Pd2+)/polyacrylonitrile (PAN) solution and followed by electroless plating of the hybrid nanofibrous membranes. The FESEM images showed that the obtained conductive nanofibrous membrane was covered by a coral-like silver layer with porosity benefiting for excellent electrical conductivity. Based on the superior performance, it is used as the electrodes and jointly assembled into a full microporous structure sensor with the high-mesh nylon netting. Benefitting from the dramatically alterable contact area of the electrode and the good dielectricity of nylon netting, the as-prepared sensor exhibits a high sensitivity of 1.49 kPa-1, a fast response time of 48 ms, low hysteresis of 7.55 % and stable durability over 1000 cycles. Besides, practical human motions’ detection is carried out by this wearable pressure sensor. The simulation of the finite elemental analysis is used to explain the mechanism of the sensor. This fabrication method is facile, low-cost, and less metal pollution, which may provide an insight to design microstructures for improving the performance, and imply an accessible prospect in the industrialization of sensors.

基于导电聚丙烯腈纳米纤维膜化学镀银的高灵敏可穿戴压力传感器

柔性且可穿戴的电容式压力传感器广泛用于医疗保健监控,机器人制造和军事设备。这些类型的高灵敏度压力传感器可以通过在可穿戴智能设备上设计微结构电极或介电层来实现。在这里,我们通过电纺钯离子(Pd 2+)/聚丙烯腈(PAN)溶液,然后化学镀杂化纳米纤维膜。FESEM图像显示,所获得的导电纳米纤维膜被具有多孔性的珊瑚状银层覆盖,有利于优异的导电性。基于卓越的性能,它被用作电极,并通过高网状尼龙网联合组装成一个全微孔结构传感器。得益于电极接触面积的显着变化和尼龙网良好的介电性能,所制备的传感器显示出1.49 kPa -1的高灵敏度,48 ms的快速响应时间,7.55%的低滞后以及在1000次循环中稳定的耐久性。此外,该可穿戴压力传感器还可以进行实际的人体运动检测。有限元分析的仿真被用来解释传感器的机理。这种制造方法简便易行,成本低廉且金属污染少,这可能为设计微结构以提高性能提供了见识,并暗示了传感器工业化中的可及前景。
