▎ 摘  要

This study demonstrates transparent and flexible capacitive pressure sensors using a high -k ionic gel composed of an insulating polymer (poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-trifluoroethylene-co-chlorofluoroethylene), P(VDF-TrFE-CFE)) blended with an ionic liquid (IL; 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) amide, [EMI][TFSA]). The thermal melt recrystallization of the P(VDF-TrFE-CFE):[EMI][TFSA] blend films develops the characteristic topological semicrystalline surface of the films, making them highly sensitive to pressure. Using optically transparent and mechanically flexible graphene electrodes, a novel pressure sensor is realized with the topological ionic gel. The sensor exhibits a sufficiently large air dielectric gap between graphene and the topological ionic gel, resulting in a large variation in capacitance before and after the application of various pressures owing to the pressure-sensitive reduction of the air gap. The developed graphene pressure sensor exhibits a high sensitivity of 10.14 kPa-1 at 20 kPa, rapid response times of <30 ms, and durable device operation with 4000 repeated ON/OFF cycles. Furthermore, broad-range detections from lightweight objects to human motion are successfully achieved, demonstrating that the developed pressure sensor with a self-assembled crystalline topology is potentially suitable for a variety of cost-effective wearable applications.
