Silver nanowires (AgNWs) are expected to be used in next-generation
flexible transparent conductive electrodes due to their outstanding
electronic properties and high transmittance. However, the ineluctable
contact resistance between AgNWs and poor stability have limited their
use in wearable and conformable devices. In addition, the mechanical
peeling damage caused by a polymer substrate with an unmatched Young’s
modulus and adhesion force still remains a challenge. Herein, we simultaneously
resolve the aforementioned conductivity, stability, and substrate
issues. An effective microwave-welded technique and embedded structure
are proposed for the fabrication of skin-like AgNW electrodes with
high optoelectronic performance and mechanical robustness. Meanwhile,
we develop a flexible, stable, and appropriate photopolymer substrate
and demonstrate photopolymer-embedded AgNW electrodes with less mechanical
damage during the peeling process and outstanding environmental stability
even in water. Based on these electrodes, we further fabricated skin-like
supercapacitor devices with high area capacitance and excellent flexibility
(2000 bending cycles). This reported facile strategy provides meaningful
guidance for preparing high-performance skin-like transparent electrodes,
showing promising potential for next-generation wearable and epidermal
electronics.
