摘要

Transparent, flexible temperature sensors are attractive for wearable electronics and robotic systems, yet conventional metal films compromise aesthetics, while copper nanowire (Cu NW) networks suffer from severe oxidation. Here, we report a high-reliability, planar spiral-patterned Cu NW temperature sensor enabled by a dual-protection architecture. Cu NW networks are semi-embedded into a PVDF film to stabilize junctions, followed by liquid-phase self-assembly growth of an ultrathin Sb2O3 layer on the exposed surface. The resulting Cu NWs/PVDF@Sb2O3 electrodes retain high transparency and low resistance, with negligible optoelectronic penalty and slightly reduced sheet resistance, possibly due to improved interfacial contact. They show minimal resistance drift under 85 °C/85% RH aging, elevated temperatures, and 1% H2O2/NaCl exposure, and endure severe bending (at a spacer-defined inner bending radius of ~ 2.5 μm) over 3000 cycles. The sensor exhibits linear thermoresistive response from 0 to 130 °C with an optimized TCR of ~ 0.0032 °C−1 and excellent cycling stability.
