Abstract
Metamaterials have attracted considerable attention as new sensing platform having great sensing capability of high sensitivity, rapid sensing response, and non-destructive detection. However, conventional metamaterial based sensor systems require expensive and complicated measurement system that limits real-time application. In this paper, wireless-powered volatile organic compounds (VOCs) sensor is presented by combining energy-harvesting metamaterial (EH-MM) as wireless sensing platform and ionic thermoplastic polyurethane (i-TPU) electrolyte as a VOCs sensing material. Especially, to accomplish the practical wireless-powered sensing system, proposed EH-MM based sensor is designed to operate by harvesting the widespread commercial 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi source.
