Recently emerged electronic skins with applications in on-body sensing and human-machine interfaces call for the development of high-performance skin-like electrodes. In this work, we report a highly robust, transparent, and breathable epidermal electrode composed of a scaffold-reinforced conductive nanonetwork (SRCN). Solution-dispersed Ag nanowires, through facile vacuum filtration, are embedded into a scaffold made of polyamide nanofibers. Optical transmittance of 84.9% at 550 nm wavelength is achieved at a significantly low sheet resistance of 8.2 Ω sq. The resistance of the SRCN only slightly increases by less than 0.1% after being bent for 3000 cycles at the maximum curvature of 300 m and by less than 1.5% after being dipped in saline solution for 2500 cycles. The excellent robustness is attributed to the reinforcement from the nanofiber-based scaffold as a backbone that maintains the connections among the Ag nanowires by undertaking most of the loaded stress. The SRCN not only forms tight and conformal bonding with the target surface but also allows the evaporation of perspiration, making it suitable as an epidermal electrode for long-time use. Furthermore, fine and clean-cut circuit patterns with a line width on the micrometer scale can be readily prepared, paving the way for fabricating sophisticated functional electronic skins.

Triboelectrification-induced electroluminescence converts dynamic motion into light emission. Tribocharges resulting from the relative mechanical interactions between two dissimilar materials can abruptly and significantly alter the surrounding electric potential, exciting the electroluminescence of phosphor along the motion trajectory. The position, trajectory, and contour profile of a moving object can be visualized in high resolution, demonstrating applications in sensing.

Excellent triboelectric and mechanical properties are achieved on the same material for the first time by developing an effective, general, straightforward, and area‐scalable approach to surface modification of a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film via inductive‐coupled plasma etching. The modification enables gigantic enhancement of triboelectric charge density on the PET surface. Based on the modified PET as a contact material, a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) exhibits significantly promoted electric output compared to the one without the modification. The obtained electric output is even superior to a TENG made of conventional polytetrafluoroethylene that is known for its strongest ability of being charged by triboelectrification among all engineering plastics. Detailed characterizations reveal that the enhancement of triboelectric charge density on the PET is attributed to both chemical modification of fluorination and physical modification of roughened morphology in nanoscale. Therefore, this work proposes a new route to obtaining high‐performance TENGs by manipulating and modifying surface properties of materials.
