Directly writing flexible temperature sensor with graphene nanoribbons for disposable healthcare devices.

ABSTRACT: Disposable temperature sensors have great advantages in public health security and infectious disease control. However, complicated fabrication processes and poor performances persistently restrict their practical applications. In this paper, a flexible temperature sensor is firstly developed by directly writing or mask spraying commonly-used paper with a highly thermo-sensitive graphene nanoribbon (GNR) ink. The inexpensive, green materials and process endow the GNR sensors with the properties of being low cost, degradable and pollution free. The band gap and the local traps of GNRs, caused by the nanoscale effect and oxygen doping, make the sensor highly thermo-sensitive. The sensor also shows fast response, precise resolution and good bendable properties. As demonstrated, the sensor ach
