Popis: Pressure sensors with desirable flexibility, robustness, and versatility are urgently needed for complicated smart wearable devices. However, developing an ideal multifunctional flexible sensor is still challenging. In this work, a composite aerogel film sensor with an internal three-dimensional (3D) microporous and hierarchical structure is successfully fabricated by the self-assembly of aramid nanofiber (ANF) and conductive MXene by vacuum-assisted filtration and ice crystal growth. The resultant MXene/ANF aerogel film with a mass ratio of 3/7 (30% MAAF) presents high robustness with an outstanding tensile strength of 14.1 MPa and a modulus of 455 MPa while retaining appealing flexibility and sensitive characteristics due to the 3D microstructure. Accompanied by superior electric conductivity, the MAAF sensor performs noticeably in human motion and microexpression detection with a fast response time of 100 ms and a high sensitivity of 37.4 kPa
