Cover Story: In this work, porous ZnO nanostructures were incorporated as a UV-sensing material into the composition of a sustainable water-based screen-printable ink composed of carboxymethyl cellulose, which was used to fabricate foldable UV sensors on office paper. The screen-printed ZnO UV sensors operate under low voltage (≤ 2 V) and reveal a stable response over several on/off cycles of UV light exposure. The devices reach a response current in the mA range and display impressive mechanical endurance under folding, showing only a small decrease in responsivity after being folded 1000 times. Their low-voltage operation and folding stability indicate a bright future for low-cost and sustainable flexible electronics, showing potential for low-power wearable applications and smart packaging.
