Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Flexible nanoelectronics is an emerging area that combines electronic devices with advances in nanomaterials and nanotechnology. In recent years, electronic components have been endowed with smaller sizes, mechanically flexible, low weight and power consumption, and enhanced performance, with the aid of nanomaterials such as metal nanocrystals, semiconductor nanoparticles, nanowires/nanotubes, and two-dimensional nanomaterials. By leveraging advancing nanotechnology, flexible nanoelectronics has shown promising applications in micro/nano energy harvesting, smart sensing systems, wearable biosensors, optoelectronics, energy conversion and storage, biomedical engineering, artificial intelligence, flexible and printable circuits, and many others.

This Special Issue of Nanomaterials aims to present the comprehensive and recent advanced progress in the design and applications of flexible nanoelectronics, including piezoelectric/triboelectric nanogenerators, smart sensor systems, electronic skins, flexible electrochemical biosensors, flexible batteries, optoelectronic devices, and thin-film transistors. We invite authors to contribute research articles and review articles on the latest advances in flexible nanoelectronics.

We are looking forward to receiving your submissions!

Flexible electronics is a cutting-edge field that has paved the way for artificial tactile systems that mimic biological functions of sensing mechanical stimuli. These systems have an immense potential to enhance human–machine interactions (HMIs). However, tactile sensing still faces formidable challenges in delivering precise and nuanced feedback, such as achieving a high sensitivity to emulate human touch, coping with environmental variability, and devising algorithms that can effectively interpret tactile data for meaningful interactions in diverse contexts. In this review, we summarize the recent advances of tactile sensory systems, such as piezoresistive, capacitive, piezoelectric, and triboelectric tactile sensors. We also review the state-of-the-art fabrication techniques for artificial tactile sensors. Next, we focus on the potential applications of HMIs, such as intelligent robotics, wearable devices, prosthetics, and medical healthcare. Finally, we conclude with the challenges and future development trends of tactile sensors. Full article
