- Humans rely increasingly on sensors to address grand challenges and to improve quality of life in the era of digitalization and big data. For ubiquitous sensing, flexible sensors are developed to overcome the limitations of conventional rigid counterparts. Despite rapid advancement in bench-side research over the last decade, the market adoption of flexible sensors remains limited. To ease and to expedite their deployment, here, we identify bottlenecks hindering the maturation of flexible sensors and propose promising solutions. We first analyze challenges in achieving satisfactory sensing performance for real-world applications and then summarize issues in compatible sensor-biology interfaces, followed by brief discussions on powering and connecting sensor networks. Issues en route to commercialization and for sustainable growth of the sector are also analyzed, highlighting environmental concerns and emphasizing nontechnical issues such as business, regulatory, and ethical considerations. Additionally, we look at future intelligent flexible sensors. In proposing a comprehensive roadmap, we hope to steer research efforts towards common goals and to guide coordinated development strategies from disparate communities. Through such collaborative efforts, scientific breakthroughs can be made sooner and capitalized for the betterment of humanity.

- Oxide mixtures MO-SDC, M=Cu, Ni, Co, SDC=Ce0.9Sm0.1O1.95 were synthesized by employing a citrate/nitrate combustion technique. Two kinds of Carbon materials, activated carbon (AC) and vapor grown carbon fiber (VGCF) were homogeneously dispersed into the MO-SDC. The materials can be used as anodes to fabricate single cells using a uniaxial die-press method. The sintering temperature was studied to optimize cell performance. Experimental results showed that cells sintered at 700 degrees C had better performance. When the temperature was above 750 degrees C, the cells were severely distorted, and cannot be tested. Compared with the basic MO-SDC anode, AC and VGCF improve the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) anode properties, due to a change of the microstructures of the anode materials which enhance their electron conductivity. Single cell performances were evaluated by I-V measurements, and when 1.25 wt.%VGCF was introduced into the MO-SDC by ball-milling, termed: 1.25 wt.%VGCF-MO-SDC, the 1.25 wt.%VGCF-MO-SDC anode material could achieve the highest power density of up to 0.326 W cm(-2) with H-2 as fuel. The calcination temperature of the MO-SDC dry gel also strongly influenced the electrochemical performance of the 1.25 wt.%VGCF-MO-SDC material. XRD spectra for each calcined temperature and the I-V measurement both suggest that calcinations at 550 degrees C for 1 h are suitable. 1.0 wt.%AC-MO-SDC and 1.25 wt.%VGCF-MO-SDC have similar performance when the cell was fed in methanol/3%H2O, and the corresponding power density was up to 0.253 W cm(-2). Traces of carbon were found in the off-gases.
