Abstract

A simple (2×2) pixelated flexible infrared nanosensor array based on carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) was fabricated through a simple and low-cost flame method. By integrated with a micro controller unit, the sensor array could detect power density of incident infrared light in real-time. The mechanism for the superior infrared sensing property of the flexible sensor array based on CNP was also studied in detail in this work.
