This is a README file for the dataset supporting the manuscript entitled “Hybrid agricultural monitoring system with detachable biodegradable and printed pH sensor with a recyclable wireless sensor network for sustainable sensor systems” by Rollo and co-workers. The data is divided into the following folders with detail on the data listed:

Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy: The data contained here list the frequency, Z’, -Z”, modulus of impedance (Z), -phase (°) and timestamp for each datapoint. This data is saved as .csv files which can be opened using software such as Microsoft Excel or other spreadsheet software.

Data that was measured using the wireless sensing network is denoted with the initialism WSN. This is programmed to continuously measure impedance in the range of 20 - 120 kHz. The data taken for the plots was the last complete cycle from 20 - 120 kHz. The modulus of impedance was recorded in column J.

Life cycle assessment: Life cycle assessment was carried out using the specialist software, GaBi. A file with details of the model (.tsx) can be opened using licensed GaBi software. A screenshot of the inputs we chose for the model is shown in .docx file which can be opened using a word processing software such as Microsoft Word. The calculated impacts of the models are shown in a .xlsx file which can be opened using spreadsheet software such as Microsoft Excel.

Raman Spectroscopy: Raman spectroscopy data for MoS2 layer of the printed sensors shown with spectra recorded for a 3 by 4 grid and 30 micron spacing between the points. The data is saved as .txt files which can be opened using text editor software such as Notepad or TextEdit. The settings for the Raman spectroscopy scan are listed in a .docx file which can be opened using a word processing software such as Microsoft Word.

Scanning Electron Microscopy: Scanning electron microscopy data for the MoS2 layer of the printed sensor is saved as an image file (.tif) which can be opened using typical image viewer software such as Windows Photo Viewer or Preview. The settings for the SEM scan are saved as a text file (.txt) and can be opened using text editor software such as Notepad or TextEdit.
