Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of triboelectric flexible sensors and relates to a GCF / SGNS-SiO2 double-skeleton composite film and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of flexible electronics and wearable technology, flexible sensors based on triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are becoming a cutting-edge research hotspot. These sensors utilize the electrostatic induction effect generated when materials come into contact and separate to achieve energy conversion and signal acquisition. They offer unique advantages such as self-power, lightweight construction, a wide range of materials, and strong environmental adaptability. Their operating principle stems from the coupling of triboelectric charging and electrostatic induction: when two dissimilar materials come into contact, electron transfer at the interface generates a surface electrostatic charge. During separation, the charge imbalance creates a potential difference, driving the directional flow of electrons in the external circuit, thereby converting mechanical energy into an electrical signal output. This mechanism frees sensors from dependence on traditional batteries, significantly reducing system complexity and maintenance costs. Given these advantages, triboelectric flexible sensors exhibit significant application potential in health monitoring, human-computer interaction innovation, and sensory enhancements for soft robotics.
[0003] However, triboelectric flexible sensors still have many problems. First, they are limited by the upper limit of the surface charge density of the material (generally <250 μC / m 2 ), which makes the charge generation efficiency low; secondly, the interface impedance between the flexible substrate and the electrode causes signal attenuation, resulting in charge transfer loss; and environmental humidity and repeated deformation can easily cause charge leakage, resulting in poor charge storage stability, which seriously limits the practical application of triboelectric flexible sensors. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In response to the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a GCF / SGNS-SiO2 dual-skeleton composite film and a preparation method thereof, thereby solving the technical problems of low charge density, high interface charge loss and poor stability of triboelectric flexible sensors in the prior art.
[0005] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: A method for preparing a GCF / SGNS-SiO2 dual-skeleton composite film comprises the following steps: S1: cross-linking collagen fibers with glycerol to prepare a suspension of cross-linked collagen fibers, and then adding sulfonated graphene, stirring and blending to prepare a suspension of cross-linked collagen fibers and sulfonated graphene; S2: performing a directional freeze-drying process on the cross-linked collagen fiber composite sulfonated graphene suspension to prepare a cross-linked collagen fiber composite sulfonated graphene aerogel; S3: adding silica to the cross-linked collagen fiber suspension, stirring and blending to obtain a cross-linked collagen fiber composite silica suspension, impregnating the cross-linked collagen fiber composite sulfonated graphene aerogel into the cross-linked collagen fiber composite silica suspension, and then freeze-drying to obtain a double-skeleton aerogel; S4: applying pressure to the double-skeleton aerogel to obtain the double-skeleton film.
[0006] Preferably, the mass of the glycerol accounts for 35% of the mass of the collagen fibers.
[0007] Preferably, the mass ratio of the solid content of the sulfonated graphene to the cross-linked collagen fibers is (0.5-2):(6.7-1.8).
[0008] Preferably, the mass percentage of the silicon dioxide in the cross-linked collagen fibers is 0.5% to 3.0%.
[0009] Preferably, in step S1, the temperature for stirring and blending is 25-35°C; in step S3, the temperature for stirring and blending is 25-35°C.
[0010] Preferably, in step S2, the cross-linked collagen fiber composite sulfonated graphene suspension is subjected to a directional freeze-drying treatment, specifically: the cross-linked collagen fiber composite sulfonated graphene suspension is poured into a directional freezing mold, and then low-temperature frozen with liquid nitrogen for 0.5 to 1 hour, and then freeze-dried at -40 to -45°C for 3 to 5 days.
[0011] Preferably, in step S4, when pressure is applied to the double-skeleton aerogel, the pressure is 1-15 MPa and the time is 1-4 min.
[0012] A GCF / SGNS-SiO2 dual-skeleton composite film is prepared by the above method. The GCF / SGNS-SiO2 dual-skeleton composite film includes an inner skeleton and an outer skeleton. The inner skeleton contains sulfonated graphene and the outer skeleton contains silicon dioxide. The mass of the outer skeleton accounts for 0.2% to 1.0% of the total mass of the dual-skeleton film.
[0013] A tribopositive layer for a flexible sensor comprises the above-mentioned GCF / SGNS-SiO2 double-skeleton composite film.
[0014] A triboelectric flexible sensor comprises the above-mentioned flexible sensor tribopositive layer, wherein the open circuit voltage of the triboelectric flexible sensor is 300-325 V.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects: The present invention discloses a method for preparing a GCF / SGNS-SiO2 dual-skeleton composite film. This method uses sulfonated graphene (SGNS) as an internal skeleton to construct a vertically oriented conductive network, providing high-speed charge transfer channels. Silicon dioxide (SiO2) serves as an external skeleton, acting as an electret material and capturing and storing charge through its high electron affinity. The dual-skeleton structure significantly increases the effective friction area. The molecular-level binding of SGNS to collagen fibers (ionic bonds between sulfonic acid groups and amino groups) enhances electron transfer efficiency, increases open-circuit voltage, and thus increases charge density. Furthermore, directional freeze-drying enables vertical ice crystal growth, forming ordered pores that reduce charge diffusion paths. Simultaneously, SGNS is embedded within the collagen fiber skeleton, forming a continuous conductive path, reducing electrode-substrate interface impedance and effectively reducing interfacial transmission losses. Furthermore, the external skeleton fills the internal skeleton pores, mechanically interlocking and distributing stress, inhibiting deformation-induced charge leakage. Glycerol crosslinking enhances film flexibility and maintains structural stability. In summary, this method, through the synergistic effects of the vertically oriented internal skeleton and the internal and external skeletons, effectively increases the charge density of the flexible sensor, reduces interfacial transmission losses, and enhances stability.
[0016] Furthermore, the mass of the glycerol accounts for 35% of the mass of the collagen fibers, which optimizes the cross-linking degree of the collagen fibers, imparts ultrahigh flexibility to the film, and inhibits charge leakage caused by humidity.
[0017] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the solid content of the sulfonated graphene to the cross-linked collagen fibers is (0.5-2):(6.7-1.8), which ensures that the inner skeleton forms a continuous conductive network while avoiding excessive clogging of the pores by SGNS.
[0018] Furthermore, the percentage of silicon dioxide in the cross-linked collagen fibers is 0.5% to 3.0%, which can endow the material with good charge storage capacity.
[0019] Furthermore, in step S1, the temperature for stirring and blending is 25-35°C; in step S3, the temperature for stirring and blending is 25-35°C, which can make the materials mixed evenly.
[0020] Furthermore, in step S2, the cross-linked collagen fiber composite sulfonated graphene suspension is subjected to a directional freeze-drying treatment, specifically: the cross-linked collagen fiber composite sulfonated graphene suspension is poured into a directional freezing mold, and then low-temperature frozen with liquid nitrogen for 0.5 to 1 hour, and then freeze-dried at -40 to -45°C for 3 to 5 days to successfully prepare an aerogel with a vertical pore structure.
[0021] Furthermore, in step S4, when pressure is applied to the double-skeleton aerogel, the pressure is 1-15 MPa and the time is 1-4 min, so that the double-skeleton aerogel is pressed into a double-skeleton film.
[0022] The present invention also discloses a GCF / SGNS-SiO2 double-skeleton composite film, which includes an inner skeleton and an outer skeleton. The inner skeleton contains sulfonated graphene, and the outer skeleton contains silicon dioxide. The mass of the outer skeleton accounts for 0.2% to 1.0% of the total mass of the double-skeleton film. This ratio can make the double-skeleton aerogel structure stable.

[0030] The present invention discloses a method for preparing a double-skeleton film based on GCF / SGNS-SiO2, comprising the following steps: S1: Add the cross-linking agent glycerol (Gly) to the collagen fiber (GF) suspension, and mechanically stir the suspension in a constant temperature water bath to cross-link the collagen fibers with glycerol to prepare a cross-linked collagen fiber (GGF) suspension; disperse sulfonated graphene (SGNS) in the cross-linked collagen fiber suspension, and stir and blend at 25-35°C for 3-6 hours to prepare a sulfonated graphene composite cross-linked collagen fiber (GCF / SGNS) suspension; The mass of the glycerol accounts for 35% of the mass of the collagen fibers; Here, sulfonated graphene is used as an internal skeleton, and the mass ratio of the sulfonated graphene to the cross-linked collagen fiber solid content is (0.5-2):(6.7-1.8); S2: The GCF / SGNS suspension is subjected to a directional freeze-drying treatment to obtain a cross-linked collagen fiber composite sulfonated graphene (GCF / SGNS) aerogel. Specifically, the GCF / SGNS suspension is poured into a directional freezing mold, and then rapidly frozen by liquid nitrogen for 0.5 to 1 hour. The suspension is then transferred to a freeze dryer and freeze-dried at -40 to -45°C for 3 to 5 days to obtain the GCF / SGNS aerogel, which has a vertical pore structure. S3: dispersing silica in a suspension of cross-linked collagen fibers, stirring and blending at 25-35°C for 3-6 hours to obtain a cross-linked collagen fiber composite silica (GCF / SiO2) suspension; then filling it into the vertical pore structure of the GCF / SGNS aerogel by dipping. Specifically, the GCF / SGNS aerogel is immersed in the GCF / SiO2 suspension for 2-5 hours, then cryogenically frozen at 40°C for 3-6 hours, and then transferred to a freeze dryer at -40--45°C for freeze drying for 3-5 days to obtain a double-skeleton structure (GCF / SGNS-SiO2) aerogel; Here, silicon dioxide serves as an exoskeleton, and the mass percentage of silicon dioxide in the cross-linked collagen fibers is 0.5% to 3.0%.
[0031] S4: Applying pressure to the GCF / SGNS-SiO2 dual-skeleton aerogel at a pressure of 1-15 MPa for a period of 1-4 minutes to produce the GCF / SGNS-SiO2 dual-skeleton composite film. Preferably, the pressure is 5 MPa.
[0032] The present invention also discloses a GCF / SGNS-SiO2 dual-skeleton composite film produced by the above method. The GCF / SGNS-SiO2 dual-skeleton composite film comprises an internal skeleton and an external skeleton, wherein the internal skeleton comprises sulfonated graphene and the external skeleton comprises silicon dioxide. The mass of the external skeleton accounts for 0.2% to 1.0% of the total mass of the dual-skeleton film. The internal and external dual skeletons of the composite film were simulated and characterized using a K-Smith laser spectroscopy confocal microscope and a scanning electron microscope. The GCF / SGNS-SiO2 dual-skeleton composite film exhibits charge transport and storage functions.
[0033] In the present invention, an inner and outer double-skeleton film is constructed through a two-step process of directional freeze-drying and freeze-drying and a physical external pressure preparation process. This method enables the film to have a transmission skeleton with vertical pores and an energy storage skeleton filled in the pores, achieving efficient synergy between charge transfer and storage functions. When assembled into a device with a triboelectric negative layer, the synergistic effect of the double-skeleton structure not only significantly improves the triboelectric properties of the film, but also effectively disperses external mechanical stress through the close bonding and mutual support between the skeletons, giving the film excellent mechanical strength, thereby ensuring that the sensor has high output performance and good durability.
[0034] The present invention also discloses a tribopositive layer for a flexible sensor, comprising a GCF / SGNS-SiO2 dual-skeleton composite film of the present invention. Specifically, to prepare the tribopositive layer for a flexible sensor, the GCF / SGNS-SiO2 dual-skeleton composite film of the present invention is cut into desired dimensions, which may be (2-3) cm x (2-3) cm, preferably 3 cm x 3 cm.
[0035] The present invention also discloses a triboelectric flexible sensor comprising the aforementioned flexible sensor tribopositive layer and a tribonegative layer, preferably Ecoflex. After assembling the positive and negative layers, the triboelectric flexible sensor is constructed. The open-circuit voltage of the triboelectric flexible sensor is 300-325V. Ecoflex can be Ecoflex0030, which consists of silicone rubber, silicone oil, and additives, purchased from Smooth-On in the United States. Ecoflex0030 is divided into liquid A and liquid B. Upon use, liquid A and liquid B are blended in a 1:1 ratio by weight to form an Ecoflex mixed solution. The resulting mixture is rapidly stirred at room temperature and then coated using a 200 μm doctor blade. The resulting film is placed on a flat surface, dried at room temperature for 36 hours, and then cut into (1-3) cm x (1-3) cm pieces. When assembling the tribopositive and negative layers, foam paper is used to separate the ends to establish an initial separation distance. The cut size is preferably 3 cm x 3 cm.
[0036] The present invention discloses a method for preparing a GCF / SGNS-SiO2 double-skeleton composite film, which uses collagen fibers as a skeleton substrate, and is respectively added with sulfonated graphene and silica, and is prepared by directional freeze-drying, freeze-drying, and physical external pressure. This method does not require complex surface design, and can obtain a double-skeleton film with a rich vertical pore structure and filling and storage function. The sulfonated graphene composite collagen fiber aerogel of the inner skeleton provides an efficient transmission channel for the charge, and the silica composite collagen fiber filling material of the outer skeleton enhances the charge storage capacity, thereby synergistically improving the charge utilization efficiency and output performance of the film. At the same time, the molecular interaction between the collagen fibers and the composite material significantly improves the mechanical strength and flexibility of the film, ensuring the durability and adaptability of the device. The double-skeleton film is prepared into a positive layer and assembled with a negative layer, and the constructed triboelectric flexible sensor exhibits high output performance. The preparation process of the present invention is simple and environmentally friendly, the raw materials are widely available, it is suitable for large-scale production and promotion, and has broad application prospects.

Stir evenly to obtain a GCF / SGNS suspension. Pour the GCF / SGNS suspension into a directional freezing mold and then freeze it rapidly with liquid nitrogen for 0.5 h. Then transfer it to a freeze dryer and freeze-dry it at -40°C for 3 days to obtain a GCF / SGNS aerogel.
[0040] (2) Weigh 50 g of the cross-linked collagen fiber suspension and add it into a beaker. Add 0.25 g of silica and blend it. The mass of silica accounts for 0.5% of the mass of the cross-linked collagen fiber. The blending temperature is 25 °C and the time is 5 h to obtain a GCF / SiO2 suspension. Immerse the GCF / SGNS aerogel in 30 g of the GCF / SiO2 suspension for 4 h to allow the GCF / SiO2 suspension to fill the pores of the GCF / SGNS aerogel. Then, freeze it at low temperature for 6 h and transfer it to a freeze dryer at -40 °C for freeze-drying for 5 days to obtain a GCF / SGNS-SiO2 aerogel.

Figure 2 In the vertical directional freeze-drying shown in Figure (b), the ice crystals grow in a directional manner in the vertical direction, so the aerogel formed has an obvious vertical directional pore structure, which is orderly arranged in the vertical direction and has relatively uniform pore size.
