Problems solved by technology

However, this type of crack is formed during the stretching process, the crack density is low (the distance between adjacent cracks is usually greater than 50 microns), and the direction is consistent, resulting in low sensitivity (maximum GF is 88.4), and it is impossible to distinguish the tone color

Embodiment 1

[0046] A stretchable stress sensor based on vertical graphene, such as figure 1 As shown, including vertical graphene 1 and extraction electrode 2.

[0047] Wherein, the vertical graphene includes a bottom plane layer and a vertical layer, with a total thickness of 100 nanometers to 100 microns, preferably a total thickness in the range of 500 nanometers to 20 microns. Vertical graphene also contains high-density network cracks, such as figure 2 As shown, the crack direction includes horizontal, vertical and oblique, that is to say, it contains cracks in any direction. Multiple cracks are distributed in a staggered manner, and the network cracks divide the vertical graphene into multiple small pieces, and the adjacent small pieces are electrically connected through vertical layers; in the stretched state, the cracks become wider, but still able to Through the vertical layer bridging, the two sides of the crack are still electrically connected, and the sensor remains effecti...

Abstract

The invention provides a vertical graphene-based stretchable stress sensor. The stretch rate of the stretchable stress sensor is greater than 50%, the stretchable stress sensor can recognize an audiofrequency and can recognize the audio frequency of which the frequency is greater than fHz, f is 100, 800 or 2500, and the sensitivity factor is greater than 100 in a stretched state. Vertical graphene comprises a bottom plane layer, a vertical layer and a high-density mesh crack; the crack direction comprises a transverse direction, a vertical direction and an oblique direction; the mesh crack divides the vertical graphene into a plurality of small blocks; the adjacent small blocks are electrically connected through the vertical layer; and in the stretched state, the crack is widened, but canstill be bridged through the vertical layer, two sides of the crack remain electrically connected and the sensor remains effective. The mean diameter range of each small block is 5-20 microns. The vertical graphene-based stretchable stress sensor has the characteristics of being high in stretch rate and high in sensitivity, can recognize the audio frequency and is more widely used in comparison with the other stretchable stress sensors.

Description

technical field [0001] 本发明涉及传感器件工程领域,特别是涉及一种基于竖直石墨烯的可拉伸应力传感器及其用途。 Background technique [0002] 在可预见的未来,电子设备与人类的联系将愈发紧密,电子设备将会通过与人类更多的接触,实现更加先进便捷的健康检测、信息获取和作为人与机器之间的桥梁等功能。以电子皮肤为代表的可穿戴设备作为可以直接与人身体接触,可直接贴合在皮肤上的一类电子设备而成为电子领域的新兴研究热点。 [0003] 传统的应力或压敏传感器是基于压电陶瓷等非柔性材料,其无法任意拉伸或压缩,因此无法实现与皮肤贴合而受到应用限制。例如,要感知动物或机器人的关节运动轨迹,需要将传感器贴附在关节处,关节运动时传感器会被拉伸或压缩,从而感知关节运动的幅度和方向。 [0004] 要实现可拉伸式的应力传感器,需要采用可拉伸的弹性材料,如橡胶等,但这类材料制备的应力传感器灵敏度有限,其灵敏度因子(定义为相对电阻的变化量除以相对形变量,简称GF)难以突破100。 特别是,由于弹性材料的杨氏模量小,造成固有频率低,无法跟上声波的振动频率,故无法识别音频(或音色),最多只能感应声音的强度(音量),限制了其应用 scope. [0005] 非专利文献1(Nature,2014,516,222-226.doi:10.1038 / nature14002)公开了一种可拉伸应力传感器,通过在可拉伸弹性衬底(聚二甲基硅氧烷,PDMS)上镀一层金属薄膜制备了一种可拉伸传感器,因为金属薄膜在拉伸过程中会形成很多裂缝,利用这些裂缝在振动过程中缝隙的变化来感应音频。但金属薄膜在拉伸过程中容易完全断裂而造成失效,这类传感器的最大拉伸量只有2%,难以满足可拉伸应力传感器的实际需求。 [0006] 非专利文献2(ACS Appl.Mater.Interfaces 2019,11,1294-1302.DOI:10.1021 / acsami.8b18210)公开了一种由石墨烯墙制备的应力传感器,拉伸率为10%,但其传感器只能感应而无法辨别音色。 [0007] 非专利文献3(ACS Appl.Mater.Interfaces,2018,10,36312-36322.DOI:10.1021 / acsami.8b15848)公开了...
