Self‐Sustaining Triboelectric Nanosensors for Real‐Time Urine Analysis in Smart Toilets

Abstract Healthcare has undergone a revolutionary shift with the advent of smart technologies, and smart toilets (STs) are among the innovative inventions offering non‐invasive continuous health monitoring. The present technical challenges toward this development include limited sensitivity of integrated sensors, poor stability, slow response and the requirement external energy supply alongside manual sample collection. In this article, triboelectric nanosensor array (TENSA) is introduced featuring electrodes crafted from laser‐induced 3D graphene with functional polymers like polystyrene, polyimide, and polycaprolactone for real‐time urine analysis while generating 50 volts output via urine droplet‐based triboelectrification. Though modulating interfacial double‐layer capacitance, these sensors exhibit exceptional sensitivity and selectivity in detecting a broad spectrum of urinary biomarkers, including ions, glucose, and urea with a classification precision of 95% and concentration identification accuracy of up to 0.97 (R 2 ), supported by artificial neural networks. Upon exposure to urine samples containing elevated levels of Na + , K + , and NH 4 + , a notable decrease (ranging from 32% to 68%) is observed in output voltages. Conversely, urea induces an increase up to 13%. Experimental validation confirms the stability, robustness, reliability, and reproducibility of TENSA, representing a significant advancement in healthcare technology, offering the potential for improved disease management and prevention strategies.
