This study proposes a flexible, low-power three-dimensional (3D) magneto-impedance (MI) sensor based on a planar FeSiB\/PI\/graphene microcoil\/PI\/FeSiB heterostructure. Through the magneto-impedance effect of soft magnetic materials and the magnetoresistance effect of graphene under the synergistic modulation of weak current excitation, this sensor can decouple the magnetic field components in the X, Y, and Z directions with a single measurement, thus guaranteeing the real-time detection capability of a 3D magnetic field. Experimental results show that the proposed 3D magnetic sensor possesses the obvious advantages, such as the low power consumption of 76 \u03bcW, high resolutions of 31, 36, and 6992 nT\/Hz1\/2 in the X, Y, and Z directions, respectively. Additionally, the magnetic sensor exhibits excellent anti-bending performance and can adapt to complex mechanical deformation environments. These characteristics endow it with great application potential in the field of intelligent wearable devices and provide new ideas for the future flexible electronics technology.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym18040477","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,13]],"date-time":"2026-02-13T10:52:21Z","timestamp":1770979941000},"page":"477","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Low-Power Three-Dimensional Graphene-Based Flexible Magnetic Sensor"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Shiliang","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Submarine Geoscience, School of Automation and Intelligent Sensing, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"State Key Laboratory of Submarine Geoscience, School of Automation and Intelligent Sensing, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1131","DOI":"10.1002\/inf2.12122","article-title":"Progress in wearable electronics\/photonics\u2014Moving toward the era of artificial intelligence and internet of things","volume":"2","author":"Shi","year":"2020","journal-title":"InfoMat"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e1901493","DOI":"10.1002\/adma.201901493","article-title":"When Flexible Organic Field-Effect Transistors Meet Biomimetics: A Prospective View of the Internet of Things","volume":"32","author":"Shi","year":"2019","journal-title":"Adv.
