Abstract
- Highly stretchable aerogel films are attractive for advanced next‐generation stretchable electronics. However, it is a great challenge to achieve high stretchability for aerogel films. Here, several types of unprecedented ultra‐stretchable semiconducting polymer‐based aerogel films with crimpled porous structures are developed via crosslinking and template methods combined with uniaxial and biaxial pre‐stretching strategies. The semiconducting aerogel films obtained by uniaxial pre‐stretching exhibit ultrahigh stretchability up to 100–200%, while those obtained by biaxial pre‐stretching show high biaxial stretchability up to 50%. The resulting aerogel films show strain‐insensitive electrical and joule heating properties. A prototype of the aerogel film‐based stretchable organic electrochemical transistor (OECT) is developed for the first time. Benefiting from their unique porous structures, the aerogel film‐based OECTs exhibit enhanced on/off ratio and transconductance compared with corresponding dense film‐based OECTs, high stretchability up to 100%, and high stretching stability with 10 000 stretching cycles under 30% strain. It is demonstrated that the aerogel film‐based OECTs can be applied as high‐performance stretchable artificial synapses and biosensors. This work gives a versatile strategy toward highly stretchable aerogel films promising for flexible electronics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
