Recent advances in flexible and stretchable electronic devices via electrospinning

Due to a variety of outstanding properties, such as large surface area, high length-to-diameter ratio, flexible surface functionality, tunable surface morphologies and superior mechanical performance, electrospun ultrathin fibers are suitable for flexible and stretchable devices, which have aroused much attention nowadays. In this review, we aim to summarize recent developments in the fabrication of flexible/stretchable electronic devices via electrospinning, including strain and pressure sensors, supercapacitors, organic field-effect transistors, and transparent electrodes, which are the key components of flexible/stretchable devices. Moreover, in order to further improve the performance of these devices, some challenges facing electrospun fibers (e.g. production on large scale, precise deposition and flexibility improvement of electrospun inorganic fibers) and subsequent integration for flexible/stretchable electronic devices have also been discussed.
