Abstract

With the promising applications in artificial intelligence systems and wearable health care devices, great efforts have been devoted to develop advanced pressure sensors. Graphene-based materials are promising pressure sensor materials due to the excellent electrical conductivity, outstanding mechanical properties and large surface area. This review summarizes the recent advances and progress in graphene and graphene-based pressure sensors. Perspectives and challenges in this exciting field are also highlighted and discussed.
