However, electrodermal activity has not been considered useful for physical activity monitoring, where large sweat volumes are generated, resulting in the accumulation of sweat at the skin–electrode interface and, thus, preventing further dynamic response to sweating events. Here we show that electrodermal activity can be used as a proxy for sweat loss measurement under both low and high physical activity levels. We use wearable sweat sensors that consist of water-permeable electrodes and microfluidic-based sweat analysers, and show that skin conductance is proportional to the instantaneous sweat loss. We demonstrate that sweat loss during exercise can be estimated by integrating skin conductance over time, which can be applied to assess the body hydration status of exercisers. From multisite measurements of skin conductance, we show that the wrist, forearm and upper arm are reflective of physical activity levels, whereas the finger is indicative of mental activity. Simultaneous measurement of two different sites selectively decouples mental and physical activities. With the help of wearable sweat sensors that use water-permeable electrodes, electrodermal activity can be used as a proxy for sweat loss monitoring during both mental and physical activities.","PeriodicalId":19064,"journal":{"name":"Nature Electronics","volume":"8 4","pages":"353-361"},"PeriodicalIF":40.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143744734","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, despite progress in the synthesis of single-crystal 2D wafers for use as the channel material in devices, the preparation of single-crystal dielectric wafers—and their reliable integrating on 2D semiconductors with clean interfaces, large gate capacitance and low leakage current—remains challenging. Here we show that thin (around 2 nm) single-crystal wafers of the dielectric antimony oxide (Sb2O3) can be epitaxially grown on a graphene-covered copper surface. The films exhibit good gate controllability at an equivalent oxide thickness of 0.6 nm. The conformal growth of Sb2O3 allows graphene to be transferred onto application-specific substrates with a low density of cracks and wrinkles. With the approach, and due to the clean dielectric interface, graphene devices can be fabricated on a four-inch wafer that exhibit a maximum carrier mobility of 29,000 cm2 V−1 s−1 (average of 14,000 cm2 V−1 s−1) and good long-term stability. The Sb2O3 can also be transferred and used as a dielectric in molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) devices, leading to devices with an on/off ratio of 108 and minimum subthreshold swing of 64 mV dec−1. Thin films of a single-crystal dielectric—antimony oxide—can be epitaxially grown at wafer scales on graphene-covered copper surfaces and then used to transfer dielectric/graphene stacks, or be integrated as a two-dimensional dielectric onto other materials.","PeriodicalId":19064,"journal":{"name":"Nature Electronics","volume":"8 4","pages":"309-321"},"PeriodicalIF":40.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143660540","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
