Flexible wearable electronic skin (e-skin) has great
potential
in health monitoring, human–computer interaction, and other
fields. However, traditional devices are often unable to maintain
high sensitivity while achieving a wide detection range. In this work,
inspired by biomimicry, we proposed a design based on mimosa flowers
and developed a composite pressure sensing device (reduced graphene
oxide (rGO)/NiMoO4@CMF). The strain layer of the sensor
undergoes hydrothermal growth, allowing nickel molybdate (NiMoO4) to grow in situ on the surface of the carbon melamine foam
(CMF). This enhances the substrate morphology, and rGO is then applied
to increase the electrical conductivity. The devices prepared by this
method have sensitivities of 19.3, 12.5, and 8.1 kPa–1 in the ranges of 0–12, 12–29, and 29–40 kPa,
respectively. In addition, the sensor demonstrates a low detection
limit (10 Pa), a fast response (160 ms), and a cycle retention rate
of 86% after 5000 cycles. Based on these characteristics, the flexible
sensor can detect strong human body movements in real time, such as
finger bending, elbow movement, and knee bending. The study shows
that this pressure sensor has broad application prospects in health
monitoring.
