Strain‐Insensitive Pre‐Stretch‐Stabilized Polymer/Gold Hybrid Electrodes for Electrochemiluminescent Devices

Abstract The quest for stretchable properties is at the forefront of research dedicated to on‐skin light–emitting devices. Inspired by the natural wonders of bioluminescence, electrochemiluminescent devices (ECLDs) are distinguished by straightforward design and reduced operating voltage, marking a departure from traditional current‐driven electroluminescent devices (ACELDs). The primary challenge of fully‐stretchable ECLDs lies in crafting electrodes that simultaneously satisfy the demands for conductivity, transparency, stretchability, oxidation resistance, and interface stability. This research introduces a groundbreaking wrinkled polymer‐gold composite electrode. It extends to 50% stretchability, offers outstanding conductivity at 10 Ω sq −1 , achieves transparency above 60%, and withstands over 10 000 stretching cycles. Employing this material, alongside stretchable electrospinning fiber luminescent layers, enabled the creation of fully‐stretchable ECLDs. These devices not only shine brightly at 30 Cd m −2 but also retain more than 90% of luminosity when stretched up to 50%. Furthermore, this work has engineered stretchable devices featuring singular patterns and multi‐dot arrays. They exhibit consistent luminescent output under bending, twisting, and stretching when applied to skin. These findings not only highlight the potential of polymer‐gold composite electrodes in overcoming challenges faced by stretchable electronic devices but also provide new ideas for wearable technology that seamlessly integrates with human body.
