Recently, there has been a huge demand for flexible pressure
sensors
in various fields, including smart wearable textiles, health detection,
and electronic skin. Flexible pressure sensors have been developed
with high sensitivity, wide sensing range, rapid response time, and
excellent cycling stability. Currently, emerging conductive materials
include two-dimensional transition metal carbides and nitrides (MXenes).
These materials have attracted immense attention in the field of flexible
pressure sensors due to their high electrical conductivity, large
specific surface area, and satisfactory hydrophilicity. This review
highlights different preparation methods of MXene composites. It also
summarizes the nanostructure design of pressure-sensitive materials
to improve the performance of flexible pressure sensors for soft electronics
applications. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the
progress of MXene composites and their prospects in the area of flexible
pressure sensors and summarizes the applications and challenges of
these sensors in intelligent wearables. This review also proposes
some suggestions for developing a new generation of intelligent textiles.
