The research team led by Professor Yu Linwei from the School of Electronic Science and Engineering at Nanjing University has introduced an innovative design strategy for creating morphologically programmable horizontal-vertical orthogonal silicon nanowire arrays. This was accomplished by leveraging their independently developed in-plane solid-liquid-solid (IPSLS) nanowire growth technique. Through this approach, they have successfully achieved structural decoupling within a single silicon nanowire material system, enabling precise dual-modal sensing of both strain and temperature. This advancement has led to the development of a high-performance flexible sensor capable of simultaneously detecting strain and temperature. The sensor boasts an impressive maximum sensitivity coefficient of 155, a broad temperature detection range spanning from 20 to 97°C, and exhibits remarkable durability, maintaining stable output even after undergoing 40,000 cycles under a strain of 0.3%.
