Advanced Stretchable Photodetectors: Strategies, Materials and Devices

Abstract

Past decades have witnessed the generation of new stretchable photodetectors in electronic eyes, health sensing, wearable devices, intelligent monitoring and other fields. Stretchable devices require not only outstanding performance but also excellent flexibility, adaptability and stability. Innovative strategies have been proposed to realize the stretchability of devices. In addition, novel functional materials including zero‐dimensional nanomaterials, one‐dimensional inorganic nanomaterials, two‐dimensional layered materials, organic materials, and organic‐inorganic composite materials with excellent properties are emerging to continuously improve the performance of devices. Here, the recent research progress of stretchable photodetectors in terms of both various design methods and functional materials is outlined. The optical performance and stretchable properties are also comprehensively reviewed. Finally, a summary and the challenges associated with the application of stretchable photodetectors are presented.

Optimization of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles and graphite fillers to endow thermoplastic polyurethane nanocomposites with superior electromagnetic interference shielding performance

“…The enhanced values of the dielectric and magnetic losses of the GF15-TPU nanocomposite further enhanced the shielding due to absorption in this nanocomposite. 78,79 The synergistic effect of dielectric loss and magnetic loss ensures that the GF15-TPU nanocomposite exhibits high EM wave shielding performance. 80,81 The magnetic loss of the EM wave absorbing material is attributed to hysteresis losses, eddy current loss, natural resonance, and domain-wall resonance.…”
