Flexible and wearable sensor for in situ monitoring of gallic acid in plant leaves

Gallic acid (GA) is one of the main phenolic components naturally occurring in many plants and foods and has been a subject of increasing interest owing to its antioxidant and anti-mutagenic properties. This study introduces a novel flexible sensor designed for in situ detecting GA in plant leaves. The sensor employs a laser-induced graphene (LIG) flexible electrode, enhanced with MXene and molybdenum disulfide (MoS
