By acting as intermediates to detect a variety of external stimuli or physiological parameters, flexible sensors are regarded as a core component of flexible electronic systems and have been extensively studied. Unlike conventional rigid sensors requiring costly instruments and complicated fabrication processes, flexible sensors can be manufactured by simple procedures with excellent production efficiency, reliable output performance, and superior adaptability to the irregular surface of the surroundings where they are applied. Here, recent studies on flexible sensors for sensing humidity and strain\/pressure are outlined, emphasizing their sensory materials, working mechanisms, structures, fabrication methods, and particular applications. Furthermore, a conclusion, including future perspectives and a short overview of the market share in this field, is given for further advancing this field of research.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23020817","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,11]],"date-time":"2023-01-11T04:59:58Z","timestamp":1673413198000},"page":"817","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":99,"title":["An Overview of Flexible Sensors: Development, Application, and Challenges"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Enze","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Information, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhimin","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Information, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yawei","family":"Ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Information, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mingyue","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Information, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hui","family":"Liao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Information, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ying","family":"Yi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Mechanical Engineering and Electronic Information, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2114","DOI":"10.1039\/D0EE03911J","article-title":"Power generation for wearable systems","volume":"14","author":"Gao","year":"2021","journal-title":"Energy Environ.
