Cover Story: The rapidly advancing technology of wearable and miniaturized electronics has increased the demand for low-cost high-performance flexible Ultraviolet (UV) sensors. Hiroaki Komatsu et al. developed translucent freestanding films consisting of cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) and ZnO nanoparticles (NPs), which exhibit a stable response over on/off cycles of UV light exposure. The responsivity and sensitivity of nanocomposite film with 60 wt.% ZnO were 36.5 mA/W and 247, respectively. The developed nanocomposite films are expected to be applied as environmentally friendly flexible UV sensors. View this paper
