Abstract

The development of microstrain sensors offers significant prospects in diverse applications, such as microrobots, intelligent human-computer interaction, health monitoring, and medical rehabilitation. Among strain sensor materials, vertical graphene (VG) has demonstrated considerable potential as a resistive material; however, VG-based strain sensors with high resolution are yet to be developed. In addition, the detection mechanism of VG has not been extensively investigated. Herein, we developed a VG canal mesh (VGCM) to fabricate a flexible strain sensor for ultralow strain sensing, achieving an accurate response to strains as low as 0.1‰ within a total strain range of 0%-4%. The detection of such low strains is due to the rigorous structural design and strain concentration effect of the three-dimensional micronano structure of the VGCM. Through experimental results and theoretical simulation, the evolution of microcracks in VG and the sensing mechanism of VG and VGCM are elaborated, and the unique advantages of VGCM are revealed. Finally, the VGCM-based strain sensors are proposed as portable breathing test equipment for rapid breathing detection.
