摘要

Underwater exploration has been an attractive topic for understanding the very nature of the lakes and even deep oceans.In recent years,extensive efforts have been devoted to developing functional mate-rials and their integrated devices for underwater information capturing.However,there still remains a great challenge for water depth detection and vibration monitoring in a high-efficient,controllable,and scalable way.Inspired by the lateral line of fish that can sensitively sense the water depth and environmental stimuli,an ultrathin,elastic,and adaptive underwater sensor based on Ecoflex matrix with embedded assembled graphene sheets is fabricated.The graphene structured thin film is endowed with favour-able adaptive and morphable features,which can conformally adhere to the structural surface and transform to a bulged state driven by water pressure.Owing to the introduction of the graphene-based layer,the integrated sens-ing system can actively detect the water depth with a wide range of 0.3-1.8 m.Furthermore,similar to the fish,the mechanical stimuli from land(e.g.knocking,stomping)and water(e.g.wind blowing,raining,fishing)can also be sensitively captured in real time.This graphene structured thin-film system is expected to demonstrate significant potentials in underwater monitoring,communication,and risk avoidance.
