Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of sensor technology, and in particular to a sensor based on a gas-permeable pseudocapacitive electrode and its fabrication method. Background Technology
[0002] Flexible pressure sensors, a typical transducer, convert changes in external stress into visible electrical signals, such as current, voltage, resistance, and capacitance. They are widely used to check and track people's physical health, and after analyzing and processing the data, they can provide people with an assessment of their physical health.
[0003] Based on different sensing mechanisms, flexible pressure sensors can be divided into four types: piezoresistive sensors, capacitive sensors, piezoelectric sensors, and triboelectric sensors. Among them, capacitive sensors have advantages such as high stability in sensing static pressure, small performance drift with temperature changes, relatively simple device structure, and low power consumption. Therefore, they are considered as a candidate sensor for high-quality physiological signal monitoring and motion detection applications.
[0004] However, the dielectric materials used in traditional capacitive sensors have very low dielectric constants, typically relying on variable compression distances of the dielectric layer to achieve higher capacitance changes. This results in small capacitance signals, severely limiting sensitivity. Furthermore, the capacitance is usually in the picofarad range, making it susceptible to external parasitic capacitance. To achieve higher sensitivity, researchers have adopted the electric double-layer theory of supercapacitors, employing an ion-modulated dielectric layer to increase the capacitance of the electrode-dielectric layer contact cross-section under electrostatic interaction, thus reducing the influence of parasitic capacitance.
[0005] While current ion-capacitive sensors have achieved extremely high sensitivity and linearity, they are typically limited to a finite stress range. It's difficult to maintain good linearity across an ultra-wide stress range while also ensuring good breathability and wearing comfort. To meet the requirements of human health monitoring and human-computer interaction, ion-capacitive sensors not only need high sensitivity but also a wider stress range, good linearity, and a comfortable wearing experience.

The prepared solution was placed in an oil bath and heated and stirred at 70℃ and 100rpm for 2.5h to obtain a transparent ionic solution. S32) Cut cotton cloth, non-woven fabric, and washcloth into appropriate sizes; S33) The cut silk fabric is soaked in a transparent ionic solution for 20 minutes to obtain a dielectric layer, and then the dielectric layer is dried on a 40°C heating plate.
6. The method for fabricating a sensor based on a gas-permeable pseudocapacitive electrode according to claim 1, characterized in that: In step S5), copper conductive wires are soldered onto the carbon cloth / MnO2 / MoS2 electrode using silver paste, and an ion dielectric layer is glued between the two flexible and breathable carbon cloth / MnO2 / MoS2 electrodes.
7. The method for fabricating a sensor based on a gas-permeable pseudocapacitive electrode according to claim 1, characterized in that: In step S22), the electroplating is performed using a three-electrode system of an electrochemical workstation. The electrodes are hydrophilically treated carbon cloth, silver / silver chloride, and a carbon rod. The electroplating time is 600s.
8. The method for fabricating a sensor based on a gas-permeable pseudocapacitive electrode according to claim 1, characterized in that: In step S23), carbon is placed in a high-pressure reactor and heated at 200°C for 24 hours.
