摘要
Flexible electronics are deployed in complex and dynamic environments, posing stringent requirements for the electrical stability of electrodes under mechanical deformation. However, a trade-off often exists among conductivity, stretchability, and long-term stability in current stretchable electrodes. Herein, we propose a metal-transition layer-elastic polymer interlocked structure. By integrating highly conductive and stable gold (Au) with compliant polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), we fabricated Au/PDMS composite electrodes exhibiting a low sheet resistance of 10.2 Ω/sq, excellent stretchability, and robust cyclic durability. Specifically, the electrode maintained a normalized resistance of only 6.3 under 100% tensile strain and remained functional after 10,000 stretching cycles. This work provides a promising pathway for the practical application of flexible electronic devices.
