RESUMO
Electrochemical biosensors have emerged as one of the promising tools for tracking human body physiological dynamics via non-invasive perspiration analysis. However, it remains a key challenge to integrate multiplexed sensors in a highly controllable and reproducible manner to achieve long-term reliable biosensing, especially on flexible platforms. Herein, a fully inkjet printed and integrated multiplexed biosensing patch with remarkably high stability and sensitivity is reported for the first time. These desirable characteristics are enabled by the unique interpenetrating interface design and precise control over active materials mass loading, owing to the optimized ink formulations and droplet-assisted printing processes. The sensors deliver sensitivities of 313.28 µA mm-1 cm-2 for glucose and 0.87 µA mm-1 cm-2 for alcohol sensing with minimal drift over 30 h, which are among the best in the literature. The integrated patch can be used for reliable and wireless diet monitoring or medical intervention via epidermal analysis and would inspire the advances of wearable devices for intelligent healthcare applications.

Perovskite nanopillars (PNPs) are propitious candidates for solar irradiation harvesting and are potential alternatives to thin films in flexible photovoltaics. To realize efficient daily energy output, photovoltaics must absorb sunlight over a broad range of incident angles and wavelengths congruent with the solar spectrum. Herein, we report highly periodic three-dimensional (3D) PNP-based flexible photovoltaics possessing a core-shell structure. The vertically aligned PNP arrays demonstrate up to 95.70% and 75.10% absorption at peak and under an incident angle of 60°. The efficient absorption and the orthogonal carrier collection facilitate an external quantum efficiency of 84.0%-89.18% for broadband wavelength. PNPs have been successfully implemented in flexible solar cells. The porous alumina membrane protects PNPs against water and oxygen intrusion and thereby imparts robustness to photovoltaic devices. Meanwhile, the excellent tolerance to mechanical stress/strain enables our unique PNP-based device to provide efficient solar-to-electricity conversion while undergoing mechanical bending.
