▎ 摘  要

Graphene-based electronic textile (e-textile) gas sensors have been developed for detecting hazardous NO2 gas. For the e-textile gas sensor, electrical conductivity is a critical factor because it directly affects its sensitivity. To obtain a highly conductive e-textile, biomolecules have been used for gluing the graphene to the textile surface, though there remain areas to improve, such as poor conductivity and flexibility. Herein, we have developed a dopamine-graphene hybrid electronic textile yarn (DGY) where the dopamine is used as a bio-inspired adhesive to attach graphene to the surface of yarns. The DGY shows improved electrical conductivity (similar to 40 times) compared to conventional graphene-based e-textile yarns with no glue. Moreover, it exhibited improved sensing performance in terms of short response time (similar to 2 min), high sensitivity (0.02 mu A/ppm), and selectivity toward NO2. The mechanical flexibility and durability of the DGY were examined through a 1000-cycle bending test. For a practical application, the DGY was attempted to detect the NO(x )emitted from vehicles, including gasoline, diesel, and fuel cell electric vehicles. Our results demonstrated that the DGYs-as a graphene-based e-textile gas sensor for detecting NO2-are simple to fabricate, cheap, disposable, and mechanically stable.
