Wearable sensors integrating multiple functionalities are highly desirable in artificial wearable devices, which are of great significance in the field of biomedical research and for human–computer interactions. However, it is still a great challenge to simultaneously perceive multiple external stimuli such as pressure and temperature with one single sensor. Combining the piezoresistive effect with the negative temperature coefficient of resistance, in this paper, we report on a pressure–temperature dual-parameter sensor composed of a polydimethylsiloxane film, carbon nanotube sponge, and poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)-poly(styrenesulfonate). The proposed multifunctional sensor can stably monitor pressure signals with a high sensitivity of 16 kPa−1, has a range of up to 2.5 kPa, and also has a fast response time. Meanwhile, the sensor can also respond to temperature changes with an ultrahigh sensitivity rate of 0.84% °C−1 in the range of 20 °C to 80 °C. To validate the applicability of our sensor in practical environments, we conducted real-scene tests, which revealed its capability for monitoring = human motion signals while simultaneously sensing external temperature stimuli, reflecting its great application prospects for electronic wearable devices.
