Flexible humidity sensors have attracted substantial attention due to the promising application in medical health monitoring. Up to now, the realization of such devices with ultrafast response/recovery and controllable morphology via a facile and cost-effective approach still remains a severe challenge. Herein, a high-performance flexible capacitive humidity sensor by creating the arc-shaped hollow structure with the poly(vinylidenefluorideco-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] nanocone arrays is developed. Particularly, a facile method based on combining the hot-pressing method and the anodized aluminum oxide template transfer method is proposed to realize the large-scale preparation of the nanostructure arrays with controllable morphology. Benefiting from the open arc-shaped hollow structure and the large-area P(VDF-TrFE) nanocone arrays, the proposed humidity sensor shows several conspicuous features, such as ultrafast response/recovery time (3.693/3.430 s), long-term stability (25 days), excellent bending stability (10,000 cycles), unaffected capacitance response to humidity in a certain temperature range (20-50?) and high selectivity toward water vapor. The above salient superiorities enable the proposed humidity sensor to be successfully utilized in extraction of a variety of physiological signals including breathing detection, skin noncontact sensing, and real-time monitoring of diaper wetting process and skin humidity, which reveals great potential value in prevention and diagnosis of many diseases.
