Abstract
With the growing demand for marine exploration and environmental monitoring, underwater sensing technology faces severe challenges due to high humidity and the need for simultaneous detection of multiple physical parameters, such as temperature and pressure. Traditional underwater sensors typically rely on combinations of various functional materials to achieve dual-mode temperature-pressure detection, often requiring additional waterproof encapsulation, which complicates system integration. Achieving dual-mode temperature-pressure detection within a single material underwater remains particularly challenging. Herein, a waterproof dual-mode sensor based on Bi2Se3/carbon paper (CP) composite films is developed by electrochemically depositing pyramid-interface-structured Bi2Se3 layers on both sides of a flexible CP substrate. The film exhibits enhanced thermoelectric properties, with a power factor of 106.0 μW m-1 K-2 (9 times that of CP). Sensors constructed from vertically stacked pyramid-interface-structured films enable high-precision detection of temperature and pressure underwater, featuring a temperature-sensing response time of 0.9 s and a pressure sensitivity of 0.94% kPa-1, while allowing synchronous decoupling of the two signals. Moreover, the sensor exhibits excellent hydrophobicity, with a contact angle of 143.7°, along with robust stability, overcoming key limitations for underwater applications. This advance in flexible underwater sensing technology offers a reliable strategy for underwater human-machine interaction and monitoring.
