Robust Piezoelectric Biomolecular Membranes from Eggshell Protein for Wearable Sensors
Flexible and wearable devices are drawing increasing
attention
due to their promising applications in energy harvesting and sensing.
However, the application of wearable devices still faces great challenges,
such as flexibility, repeatability, and biodegradability. Biopiezoelectric
materials have been regarded as favorable energy-harvesting sources
due to their nontoxicity and biocompatibility. Here, a wearable and
biodegradable sensor is proposed to monitor human activities. The
proposed sensor is fabricated via a low-cost, facile, and scalable
electrospinning technology from nanofibers composed of eggshell membranes
mixed with polyethylene oxide. It is shown that the sensor exhibits
excellent flexibility, outstanding degradability, and mechanical stability
over 3000 cycles under periodic stimulation. The device displays multiple
potential applications, including the recognition of different objects,
human motion monitoring, and active voice recognition. Finally, it
is shown that the composite nanofiber membrane has good degradability
and breathability. With excellent sensing performance, environmental
friendliness, and ease of processing, the eggshell membrane-based
sensor could be a promising candidate for greener and more environmentally
friendly devices for application in implantable and wearable electronics
