Abstract
With the growing demand for wearable electronic devices, high-performance multi-functional fabrics for sensing and power supply are urgently demanded. To achieve environmental sustainability, waste lyocell fabric that made of 100 % natural wood pulp was adopted as starting material to fabricate wearable multifunctional device through carbonization method, which demonstrates superior performance in strain sensing and energy harvesting. Based on the bioinspired system, that spider own a crack-shaped slit sensilla could undergoes instantaneous deformation under tiny external forces system, the carbonized fabric with irregular cracks was accepted as our strain sensor. Not only the subtle strains, but also the higher strains showed remarkable sensitivity. The strain sensor fabricated exhibited a gauge factor of 72.17(R2=97.31 %) when the strain was under 600 %, which may be attributed to synergetic effect of the crack configuration and the package of PDMS. Additionally, the potential application of carbonized fabric as electrode in triboelectric nanogenerator is also demonstrated. Thus, this waste lyocell fabric-based carbon fibers have potentially application toward multifunctional wearable electronics in health and exercise monitors, soft robots, and power sources.
期刊介绍:
Sensors and Actuators A: Physical brings together multidisciplinary interests in one journal entirely devoted to disseminating information on all aspects of research and development of solid-state devices for transducing physical signals.
