Despite their potential, the development of such sensors remains a formidable challenge. In this study, we report the fabrication of a flexible, highly sensitive piezoresistive sensor featuring a pleated architecture. This sensor was crafted from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) as the base material and a spun film serving as the flexible substrate, utilizing an electrospinning technique. The integration of MXene, which was subjected to structural optimization via alkaline treatment with sodium hydroxide (NaOH), was achieved through an impregnation and coating process onto the TPU film. The resulting MXene-composite sensor exhibits remarkable sensitivity (2.88 kP<sup>−1</sup>), an extensive detection range (up to 300 kPa), rapid response time (100 ms), and superior stability over more than 5000 cycles. The sensor's versatility is demonstrated through its successful deployment in capturing a variety of physiological signals from the human body, such as pulse, respiration, and swallowing, as well as in monitoring full-body motion in real-time, including movements of the fingers, wrist, and sole of the foot. Furthermore, its application as a component of flexible electronic skin underscores its immense potential for integration into physiological analysis systems, humanoid robotics, and biomedical prosthetics.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":431,"journal":{"name":"Solid State Ionics","volume":"419 ","pages":"Article 116746"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143146173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The density of states (DOS) plot and band structure reveal that M-graphene with a zero-band gap indicates its metallic nature which is beneficial for electrical conductivity in redox reactions. The migration of sodium ions on the M-graphene surface was explored along two plausible paths. The calculated diffusion energy barrier indicated a remarkably low value of 0.29 and 0.27 eV, suggesting efficient ion migration. This kinetic favorability is critical for high-rate battery applications. Cohesive energy calculations were illustrated the thermodynamic stability of the adsorbed structure in different sodium concentrations. Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) calculations demonstrated the thermal stability of fully adsorbed structure at 300 K. Furthermore, M-graphene demonstrates an impressive theoretical capacity of 1395 mAh g<sup>−1</sup>, which is significantly higher than traditional anode materials. The average open-circuit voltage (OCV) is determined to be 0.79 V which is in the SIBs potential range. We found that although the induction of a defect in the structure does not change the metallic properties, it affects the adsorption behavior of M-graphene.

The densification of the membrane matrix at temperatures above the boiling point of water under varied pressures leads to reduced hydrogen and methanol permeability.
