Abstract
Stretchable electrodes are widely used in next-generation wearable electronics. Recent studies incorporated designs that help rigid electrodes attain stretchability. However, these structures exhibited unsatisfactory charge/signal extraction efficiency because of their low areal fill factor. Additionally, they cannot be photolithographically patterned on polymer substrates because of their low adhesion, requiring additional complicated fabrication steps. We developed photolithographically patternable stretchable electrodes with complete coverage and enhanced charge-extraction efficiency. The electrodes, comprising double layers, included a chemically treated Ag nanowire mesh and Au thin film. The interfacial linker role of polyvinylpyrrolidone chemically strengthened the interfacial bonds, and the reinforced concrete structure of nanowire-embedded metal thin films enhanced the mechanical properties. Therefore, the electrodes provided superior efficiency and stability in capturing physical, electromagnetic, and electrophysiological signals while exceeding the existing stretchable electrode limits. A broad range of applications are foreseen, such as electrocardiogram sensing electrodes, strain sensors, temperature sensors, and antennas.
