Abstract

Nowadays, developing highly efficient and sensitive flexible optical biomimetic devices for the sensing of physical stimulus still has great challenges. Mimosa, as a sensitive plant, can respond to stimuli, such as touch force and wind blowing with leaf movements. Enlightened by this perception function, a force-wind dual-mode flexible optical biomimetic sensor (Tb@HOF-TMBTI@PF) is designed based on the assembly of a hydrogen-bonded organic framework (Tb@HOF-TMBTI) with a foam carrier. As a force sensor, Tb@HOF-TMBTI@PF possesses a great force-release elasticity ability, endowing it with excellent maximum sensitivity (18.98 kPa), ultralow minimum detection limit (DL, 0.8 Pa), and ultrafast response/recovery time (60 ms). In the wind sensing process, Tb@HOF-TMBTI@PF exhibits a multiangle recognition response (0°-180°), good repeatability (600 cycles), ultralow DL (0.0038 m s), and high precision. By finite element simulation, both the force and wind sensing processes are analyzed in depth. Morse code-assisted patient breathing and contact force dual-channel information expression is materialized. Moreover, by means of artificial intelligence technology, this sensor can evaluate the function and health status of the human respiratory system. This work promotes the development of luminescent force-wind sensing technology with high performances, establishing a solid foundation to develop intelligent multifunctional healthcare equipment for emerging and transformative remote medical diagnosis.
