Abstract
A sensor device is for detecting metal. The sensor device may have a substrate, an electrode on the substrate, and a biopolymer-metal composite film on the electrode. The biopolymer-metal composite film may include a metal and a biopolymer. The sensor device may further have circuitry coupled to the electrode and configured to apply a sensing signal to the electrode.
