“…Since TENG was first proposed in 2012, [103] considerable methods have been proposed to improve the TENG output performance, among which the construction of micro-nano structures on the friction surface is an effective approach to improve the TENG output performance. [104][105][106][107] Roy et al [108] proposed a method for preparing a hierarchical microstructured graphite/PDMS composite membrane with good hydrophobicity, which can drastically elevate the open-circuit voltage (410 V), short-circuit current (42 µA), and transferred charges (160 nC) of TENG by more than 2 times. Choi et al [109] replicated the micro-nano structure which is on the surfaces of lotus leaves, rose petals, and cicada wings, respectively, and this unique surface morphology empowered TENG with better moisture resistance and improved its working performance in a relatively high humidity environment.…”

Driven by the development of new functional inks, inkjet-printed electronics has achieved several milestones upon moving from the integration of simple electronic elements (e.g., temperature and pressure sensors, RFID antennas, etc.) to high-tech applications (e.g. in optoelectronics, energy storage and harvesting, medical diagnosis). Currently, inkjet printing techniques are limited by spatial resolution higher than several micrometers, which sets a redhibitorythreshold for miniaturization and for many applications that require the controlled organization of constituents at the nanometer scale. In this Review, we present the physico-chemical concepts and the equipment constraints underpinning the resolution limit of inkjet printing and describe the contributions from molecular, supramolecular, and nanomaterials-based approaches for their circumvention. Based on these considerations, we propose future trajectories for improving inkjet-printing resolution that will be driven and supported by breakthroughs coming from chemistry.

“…Numerous materials have been investigated for the fabrication of triboelectric pressure sensors, such as PDMS [ 49 ], PU [ 50 ], hydrogels [ 51 ], indium tin oxide (ITO) [ 52 ], and fabrics [ 53 ]. The friction surfaces have been micro-nano structured to increase the performance of triboelectric sensors [ 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 ]. The triboelectric effect is significantly boosted because the contact area between the two materials is enhanced.…”

Flexible pressure sensors that can maintain their pressure sensing ability with arbitrary deformation play an essential role in a wide range of applications, such as aerospace, prosthetics, robotics, healthcare, human–machine interfaces, and electronic skin. Flexible pressure sensors with diverse conversion principles and structural designs have been extensively studied. At present, with the development of 5G and the Internet of Things, there is a huge demand for flexible pressure sensor arrays with high resolution and sensitivity. Herein, we present a brief description of the present flexible pressure sensor arrays with different transduction mechanisms from design to fabrication. Next, we discuss the latest progress of flexible pressure sensor arrays for applications in human–machine interfaces, healthcare, and aerospace. These arrays can monitor the spatial pressure and map the trajectory with high resolution and rapid response beyond human perception. Finally, the outlook of the future and the existing problems of pressure sensor arrays are presented.
