Resumo

This study presents the electrochemical reduction of graphene oxide (GO) to reduced graphene oxide (rGO) directly onto flexible interdigitated gold electrodes and its application as a strain sensor. GO reduction is achieved using cyclic voltammetry (CV). Remarkably, only a single CV cycle transformed GO into rGO to obtain low-resistance (approximate to 100 Omega) devices. The reduction of GO is confirmed using Raman spectroscopy and electrical measurements. rGO on flexible interdigitated gold electrodes exhibits graphene-like characteristics when used as electrolyte-gated field-effect transistors. The fabricated devices display a gauge factor (GF) of approximate to 3.7 in the 0-794 mu epsilon range. This value represents a substantial improvement, approximate to 60% higher than traditional metallic strain sensors, which have a GF of approximate to 2.1. Most importantly, the rGO strain sensor exhibits fast response (1.1 s) and recovery (0.92 s) times. The rGO sensor is mounted on a clamp with an adjustable diameter, which reveals exceptional flexibility and bendability without damage or degradation. These results highlight the potential of rGO for advancing strain-sensing applications, offering promising opportunities for the future of this technology. (AU)
