Highly Stretchable and Reliable Graphene-Based Strain Sensor for Plant Health Monitoring and Deep Learning-Assisted Crop Recognition.

ABSTRACT: Stretchable sensors hold great potential for monitoring plant physiological parameters and enabling crop identification in smart agriculture. However, achieving long-term, stable, reliable monitoring of plants in dynamic environments, as well as improving crop identification accuracy, remains a substantial challenge, primarily due to the limited biocompatibility of conventional stretchable sensors. Here, we present a highly stretchable and reliable strain sensor based on a graphene/Ecoflex composite. This sensor features a mesh structure that combines graphene's high electrical conductivity and strain sensitivity with Ecoflex's excellent stretchability, biocompatibility, and resistance to environmental degradation. By structural optimization, the sensor achieves high sensitivity (gauge fac
