摘      要：Wearable sweat sensors are becoming increasingly popular for their robust capabilities in non-invasive,dynamic,and continuous real-time monitoring of biological ***-time monitoring of large-scale samples is crucial for realizing intelligent health.A major bottleneck for enabling large-scale sweat elucidation is the fabrication of wearable sensors equipped with microfluidic devices and flexible electrodes in a cost-effective,homogeneous performance and rapid large-scale ***,a“Screen+Wax-printing technique was introduced to prepare these components and construct“Lego Brickstype wearable sweat sensor sensor to monitor sweat Na^(+)and K^(+).Flexible electrode arrays and paper-based microfluidic layers(they act as building blocks)were fabricated on polyethylene terephthalate and paper surfaces,respectively,using screen printing and wax *** nanoparticles and Na^(+)/K^(+)ion-selective membranes were modified on the electrode surfaces by electrodeposition and drop coating,*** this work,we highlight the excellent performance of the“Lego Brickstype wearable sweat sensor in testing the Na^(+)and K^(+)imbalance of sweat from different body regions during exercise and,more significantly,to track the physical activity during prolonged exercise under different ***,the prepared“Lego Brickswearable sweat ion electrochemical sensor is demonstrated to be capable of large-scale samples elucidation with outstanding performance and costeffectiveness,which is expected to deeply integrate sweat monitoring into physical activity,providing an important tool for intelligent health.
