Abstract
This letter reports on a novel cost-efficient and multifunctional barcode-like sensors array (BLSA) printed with a conductive bioinspired smart ink. The conductive ink (P@G ink), which can be further chemically engineered with different organic ligands, was generated via facile one-pot hydrothermal reduction of graphene oxide (GO) in dopamine (DA) as coreductan Usingvarious chemical derivatives of the P@G inks on a flexible substrate (e.g., Kapton), a highly integrated BLSA as well as smart nose/tongue mimic array were generated for simultaneous sensing and distinguishing of complex physical and chemical stimuli, including temperature, light, air pressure, relative humidity, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Due to these very attractive features, the reported P@G ink-based BLSA would have the potential for unique opportunities regarding "all-in-one"-yet cost-effective-disposable electronics and sensors.
