摘要

Despite the existence of numerous de-icing methods, real-time monitoring of the icing process remains understudied. To address this, we developed a multifunctional flexible pressure sensor via electrostatic adsorption, integrating droplet impact detection, ice formation monitoring, and electrothermal de-icing capabilities. The sensor consists of a Ti3C2TxMXene/bacterial cellulose (BC)-modified Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) pressure-sensitive film and interdigitated electrodes. It detects droplet impacts through pressure-induced electrical signal changes, monitors ice accumulation via increasing pressure responses, and achieves rapid electrothermal de-icing (reaching 0 °C in 22 s at 20 V). Additionally, its flexibility enables human joint motion monitoring through deformation signals. This all-in-one solutionspans from icing process tracking to active de-icing and biomechanical sensing. Such a device shows significant potential for aerospace, infrastructure, and healthcare applications.
