The accurate monitoring of vital physiological parameters, exemplified by heart rate, respiratory rate, and intracranial pressure (ICP), is of paramount importance, particularly for managing severe cranial injuries. Despite the rapid development of implantable ICP sensing systems over the past decades, they still suffer from, for example, wire connection, low sensitivity, poor resolution, and the inability to monitor multiple variables simultaneously. Here, we propose an ultrasensitive multimodal biotelemetric system that amalgamates an iontronic pressure transducer with exceptional point (EP) operation for the monitoring of ICP signals. The proposed system can exhibit extraordinary performance regarding the detection of minuscule ICP fluctuation, demonstrated by the sensitivity of 115.95 kHz/mmHg and the sensing resolution down to 0.003 mmHg. Our system excels not only in the accurate quantification of ICP levels but also in distinguishing respiration and cardiac activities from ICP signals, thereby achieving the multimodal monitoring of ICP, respiratory, and heart rates within a single system. Our work may provide a pragmatic avenue for the real-time wireless monitoring of ICP and thus hold great potential to be extended to the monitoring of other vital physiological indicators.

Organic piezoelectric materials have attracted significant interest for applications in sensing, energy harvesting, and flexible electronics. However, its piezoelectric properties are yet to be improved. This study introduces a facile strategy to fabricate homogenous and dense polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) films with high piezoelectric performance via anhydrous CaCl2 doping. The strong ion–dipole interaction between Ca2+ and F atoms, along with directional dipole alignment under an electric field at elevated temperature, as verified by molecular dynamics simulations and material characterizations. This results in an impressive β-phase content of 92.78% and a piezoelectric coefficient of 29.26 pm/V. A piezoelectric device fabricated from this PVDF film delivers an output voltage exceeding 12 V under external pressure and maintains stability over 60,000 cycles. When integrated with an LC resonant circuit, it functions as a wireless sensor for real-time motion monitoring. This scalable approach significantly advances piezoelectric polymer performance for practical applications.

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and its copolymers present extensive application prospects, especially in the field of wearable electronics. However, utilizing nanofillers for enhanced β‐phase and piezoelectric properties faces challenges like noncontinuous interfaces, poor compatibility between nanofillers and PVDF matrix, and the requirement of high‐voltage polarization, hindering extensive domain alignment on a large scale. Herein, a method is proposed to synthesize high‐performance PVDF composites by introducing hydroxylated barium titanate (H@BTO) nanoparticles and a directional freeze‐drying method to enhance β‐phase content and piezoelectric properties without polarization. Molecular dynamics simulations reveal robust binding interactions between Ba and F atoms along with OH surface terminations on H@BTO, facilitating hydrogen bonding within the PVDF matrix, resulting in dipole alignment and increased spontaneous polarization. The composite film achieves an 86.69% β phase content and a piezoelectric coefficient of ≈14.49 pm V−1 without electric polarization. The freeze‐drying PVDF‐H@BTO composite film paired with a PA6 membrane is used to fabricate triboelectric nanogenerator, demonstrating a current density of ≈107.5 mA m−2 and an output voltage of ≈832 V. Results demonstrate that the utilization of strong binding interactions between various atoms, the hydroxyl anchoring effect, and directional freeze‐drying method as a strategy holds promising prospects for synthesizing high‐performance piezoelectric composites.
