“…Since individual AgNW or AgNF have high flexibility and stretchability that present poor mechanical stability [144], especially under antenna application where intraocular mechanical deformations largely alter the antenna architecture and electromagnetic properties of the device, the compound of ultralong AgNFs and fine AgNWs with special spiral construction can be applied to prevent the device from mechanical deformations as shown in Fig. 6(d).…”

The human eye contains multiple biomarkers related to various diseases, making electronic contact lens an ideal non-invasive platform for their diagnosis and treatment. Recent advances in technology have enabled the monitoring and diagnosis of glaucoma from Intraocular Pressure (IOP) detection, diabetes from glucose concentration detections, and other biosensors for pH and temperature sensing. Different sensor designs have led to distinct power transfer techniques, among which inductively coupled power transfer is considered most favourable for electronic contact lenses power delivery applications. Therefore, loop antenna, spiral shape antenna, and antenna with nanomaterials such as graphene and hybrid silver nanofibers have been explored under Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) frequency bands for both Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) and data communication. Notably, spiral antennas are also considered as the component of IOP sensing using capacitive sensors to detect the changes in frequency caused by pressure. This article reviews the stateof-the-art technologies in electronic contact lens sensors and their power delivery techniques. Herein, diverse sensing methods, materials, and power transfer techniques and the promising future trends and challenges in electronic contact lenses have been presented.

“…Ag nanowires in comparison can undergo redox reactions with the perovskite layer with relative ease impacting stability [40][41][42] . Ag nanowires also have the challenge of mechanical and thermal stability and junction resistance 43 . Further the Pt-Au electrodes are made using a room temperature based self-assembly process for synthesis and simple vacuum filtration for control of the deposition process.…”

Flexible, large-area, and stable perovskite photodetectors have drawn increasing widespread research attention for next-generation wearable and portable optoelectronic devices. However, high mechanical durability coupled with large device area and enhanced environmental stability has not been demonstrated yet to attain practical viability. Herein, a highly bendable, stable, and large-area (3 cm2) flexible polystyrene incorporated perovskite photodetector is presented. Due to the formation of a porous polystyrene-perovskite composite film in a single step it allows unprecedented mechanical stability, maintaining 85% of its original photocurrent value after 10,000 bending cycles at a bending angle of 120°. Equally crucial, the solution-processed self-assembled Pt–Au nanochains were developed to provide a simple and fast method of patterning the conductive and flexible electrodes onto the filter substrate. The optimized polystyrene-perovskite photodetector exhibits a high responsivity up to 2.73 A W−1, a maximum specific detectivity of 6.2 × 1013 Jones, and a superior switching ratio of 1.0 × 104. In addition, the polystyrene-perovskite photodetector yields excellent stability under the combined stresses of moisture, ambient air, and room light, and retains 92% of its original performance for over 30 days. All these results demonstrate that this work provides a facile and cost-effective approach that paves the way to develop high-performance, stable, and highly flexible optoelectronic devices.

“…NWs are one-dimensional nanostructures that have diameters of less than 100 nm and range in length from hundreds of nanometers to several micrometers [ 7 ]. NWs are considered to be promising materials because of their wide applications, such as in energy [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ], environmental [ 12 ], health [ 13 ], sensor [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ] and optoelectronics [ 17 , 18 , 19 ].…”

This study aims to determine the effect of fast cooling (quenching) on thermal properties, mechanical strength, morphology and size of the AgNWs. The synthesis of AgNWs was carried out at three different quenching-medium temperatures as follows: at 27 °C (ambient temperature), 0 °C (on ice), and −80 °C (in dry ice) using the polyol method at 130 °C. Furthermore, the AgNWs were sonified for 45 min to determine their mechanical strength. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed that the quenched AgNWs had decreased significantly; at 27 °C, the AgNWs experienced a change in length from (40 ± 10) to (21 ± 6) µm, at 0 °C from (37 ± 8) to (24 ± 8) µm, and at −80 °C from (34 ± 9) to (29 ± 1) µm. The opposite occurred for their diameter with an increased quenching temperature: at 27 °C from (200 ± 10) to (210 ± 10) nm, at 0 °C from (224 ± 4) to (239 ± 8) nm, and at −80 °C from (253 ± 6) to (270 ± 10) nm. The lower the temperature of the quenching medium, the shorter the length and the higher the mechanical strength of AgNWs. The UV-Vis spectra of the AgNWs showed peak absorbances at 350 and 411 to 425 nm. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that AgNWs quenched at −80 °C have better thermal stability as their mass loss was only 2.88%, while at the quenching temperatures of 27 °C and 0 °C the mass loss was of 8.73% and 4.17%, respectively. The resulting AgNWs will then be applied to manufacture transparent conductive electrodes (TCEs) for optoelectronic applications.
