A highly sensitive pressure sensor using a double-layered graphene structure for tactile sensing

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a graphene sensor using two separated single-layered graphenes on a flexible substrate for use as a pressure sensor, such as for soft electronics. The working pressure corresponds to the range in which human perception recognizes surface morphologies. A specific design of the sensor structure drives the piezoresistive character due to the contact resistance between two graphene layers and the electromechanical properties of graphene itself. Accordingly, sensitivity in resistance chang… Show more

“…Sensitivity is the most important technical parameter of pressure sensors. The sensitivity of most piezoresistive pressure sensors can be calculated by the following equation:S =ΔIIoff×ΔPwhere Δ P is the change of applied pressure, Δ I is the change of current corresponding to pressure, I off is the initial current. However, our sensor is a zero‐power‐consumption device in off state that I off is zero.…”

“…For example, Park et al developed an ultrasensitive interlocking microstructured ferroelectric film capable of discriminating surface texture down to 100 µm with low scanning speed of 2.5 mm s −1 . Similarly, Chun et al designed a flexible double‐layered graphene structure that senses periodic structures of 100 µm pitch . They further developed a similar graphene–sponge composite using polyethylene terephthalate (PET) ridges to enhance surface texture recognition .…”

“…One of the most suitable materials for wearable electronics is graphene in different forms (from a single to multiple layers) which has excellent mechanical properties and high electrical conductivity [5,8,9]. Among different forms of graphene based materials, nanographite structures that can have lateral size up to tens of microns and thickness from a few to tens of nanometers currently attracts increasing attention [9].…”
