    Abstract

    Wearable sensors which can evaluate the health status of the human body by conveniently monitoring human’s pH of sweat and body temperature have attracted wide attention. Here, sensors for sweat pH and skin temperature monitoring were developed. ZnO/polyaniline (PAni) micro-nano structure which sensitivity reaches 120 mV/pH realized pH sensing by monitoring the change of surface potential in solutions under different pH conditions. A layer of ZnO/rGO on surface of polyethylene glycol terephthalate/indium tin oxid (PET/ITO) was constructed for temperature monitoring by a simple drop-casting method. With the temperature increasing, the resistance of ZnO/rGO composite decreases, and the sensitivity of its resistance variation reaches -0.67%/℃. Two sensors are integrated into one sensor chip which shows high stability. Therefore, the new sensor with practical and commercial potential is promising in the field of pH and temperature detection.
