This report demonstrates the fabrication of a molybdenum diselenide/paper-based pressure-strain sensor with superior performance in pressure and strain sensing. The device showed robustness in 500 bending tests and potential applications in developing a wireless keyboard and real-time human motion monitoring.
Over the last decade, the rapid development in health care industry and security has driven innovations in the field of wearable electronics and smart sensors. This report demonstrates the fabrication of molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) by a facile, low-cost and scalable hydrothermal synthesis method followed by a vacuum filter deposition on cellulose paper. The fabricated device is utilized as a pressure and strain sensor. The fabricated device is passivated using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and also, PDMS film enhances the flexibility of the device. The calculated sensitivity of pressure sensor is similar to 0.3 kPa(-1), which is comparable and relatively better than the pressure sensor fabricated using sophisticated techniques. Furthermore, the device exhibited significant of merit for strain sensing with a gauge factor of similar to 6.84. The fabricated device showed excellent resilience in 500 cycle bending tests, which promises the robustness of the device. As an application, the fabricated sensor is used to develop a wireless keyboard by integrating the sensor on fingertips of an individual and a real-time human motion monitoring application in which the data are transmitted wirelessly to a smartphone with a dedicated android application. The successful fabrication of MoSe2/paper-based cost-effective, flexible, and biodegradable pressure-strain sensor shows tremendous applications in future intelligent user interface systems, human security, and personal health care monitoring.
