| Abstract | Optoelectronic sensors typically use inorganic semiconductors, organic dyes or electronics, or polymeric electrolytes as fundamental building blocks to probe subtle changes in relevant physical or chemical properties of the target into an analytically useful readout. 1 Those sensing materials are typically supported by flexible substrates or templates that can be readily mounted on living systems as wearable or stretchable sensors or actuators to monitor the environment and interconnect in real time with a multitude of physical or chemical parameters including pressure, strain, torsion, temperature, humidity, as well as various molecular chemicals or biomarkers. 2 Optoelectronic devices have recently found a wide range of advanced applications in clinical and biomedical research, industrial production and commercialization, including soft robotics and automation, 3 flexible microchips, 4 electronic skins, 5–6 and implantable healthcare monitoring. 7 To meet the increasing demand for these applications, a growing number of requirements and criteria related to the construction of effective optoelectronic sensory systems have been continuously implemented. As such, the recent decade has witnessed the advent of a variety of state-of-the-art sensing devices, which utilizes functional materials with micro- or nanostructures and optical, mechanical, or electric outputs for signal transduction. 8–9 Those sensors usually take advantages of high degrees of durability and selectivity, enhanced sensitivity, long-term stability, and exceptional optical transparency. 10 In an attempt to provide a quantitative assessment of the scientific significance and impact of this topic, a citation report from the Thomson-Reuters Web of Knowledge has been generated using the search term “optoelectronic sensors.” This field is growing rapidly both in the number of publications per year (more than 550 publications per year as of 2018) and even exponentially in the number of citations per year (more than 14,000 citations per year in the past 20 years); both are strong indicators of the health of the field. |
