Soft Capacitive Pressure Sensor With Enhanced Sensitivity Assisted by ZnO NW Interlayers and Airgap

Abstract: Highly sensitive capacitive pressure sensors with wide detection range are needed for applications such as humanmachine interfaces, electronic skin in robotics, and health monitoring. However, it is challenging to achieve high sensitivity and wide detection range at the same time. Herein, we present an innovative approach to obtain a highly sensitive capacitive pressure sensor by introducing a zinc oxide nanowire (ZnO NW) interlayer at the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)/electrodes interface in the conventional me… Show more

“…It is interesting to notice that until now, different sensing mechanisms have been adopted in the literature to develop flexible pressure sensing components, such as piezoresistive [1][2][3], piezoelectric [4], capacitive [5][6][7], and triboelectric [8]. On top of that, during the past decade, numerous studies related to capacitive pressure sensors have been conducted due to their simple structure, facile signal acquisition, and low energy consumption [9]. By taking into account that the human skin has the ability to sense pressure over several orders of magnitude ranging from 10 1 to 10 5 Pa [10], we find that the ideal pressure sensor should be capable of sensing externally applied stress loads with high sensitivity in a wide linearity detection range.…”

“…Accurate and repeatable pressure sensors play a significant role in the development of electronic skin (e-Skin) [1][2][3] for applications such as rehabilitation [4,5] robotics [6,7] interactive systems [8,9] and health monitoring [10,11] Among a wide variety of transductions mechanisms explored for pressure sensing, the tunnelling based piezoresistive sensors provide an effective method towards improved tactile recording due to their low cost, high gauge factor, thermal stability and compatibility to the printing technology [12,13]. Furthermore, sensitivity of these sensors can be carefully controlled via engineering the active materials along with their contacts.…”
