Based on this, real-time tracking of sweat loss provides an easy, convenient, and noninvasive approach to the early diagnosis of physical illness in individuals. To date, copper oxide (CuO) as a nanostructured semiconductor metal-oxide is regarded as a hopefully p-type sensing material. The corresponding sweat rate monitoring systems were fabricated using a repeatable and cost-effective SILAR system using a cellulose acetate-based organic substrate. To provide a practical application, we investigated the working efficiency of Al:CuO under room conditions since most clinical and healthcare industries operate under ambient temperature. Fabricated flexible devices immediately respond to the implementation of the sweat solution and reach a steady-state value in a short time. It can be obtained from experimental results that the sweat-loss monitoring performances of CuO-based devices can be enhanced by employing Al-doping. The increment in the sensing efficacy was interpreted in terms of structural and morphological characterization and electrical data. Our designed flexible thin film-based system can be used in conjunction with a customized wearable, healthcare industry integrated, low-cost fabrication source.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess[Keyword Not Available]Article8454257642585380246842-s2.0-85178383904Q1WOS:00109676190000110.1021/acsomega.3c05278
