As a result, more and more research efforts are being devoted to developing high-sensitivity and cost-effective flexible sensors for monitoring an individual\u2019s state of activity. Herein, a high-performance flexible piezoresistive sensor was designed and fabricated by combing 2D transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides (MXene) with a honeycomb-like structure formed by femtosecond filamentating pulses. The sensing mechanism is attributed to the change of the connecting conductive paths between the top interdigital electrodes and the bottom microstructured films coated with MXene. The obtained sensing device demonstrates high sensitivity of 0.61 kPa\u22121, relatively short response time, and excellent reliability and stability. Benefiting from the aforementioned extraordinary sensing performance, the sensor can be used with success to monitor tiny physiological signals, detect large deformations during human movement, and distinguish finger gestures, thus demonstrating its broad prospects in physiological analysis systems, health monitoring systems, and human\u2013machine interaction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/mi13060821","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,25]],"date-time":"2022-05-25T08:41:33Z","timestamp":1653468093000},"page":"821","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["High-Performance Flexible Piezoresistive Sensor Based on Ti3C2Tx MXene with a Honeycomb-like Structure for Human Activity Monitoring"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8143-0410","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yue","family":"Su","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100864, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1379-591X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kainan","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100864, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fang","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100864, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jun","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100864, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ming","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100864, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xu","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Semiconductors, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100864, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"23592","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ceramint.2020.06.131","article-title":"Flexible and high-sensitivity piezoresistive sensor based on MXene composite with wrinkle structure","volume":"46","author":"Yan","year":"2020","journal-title":"Ceram.
