研究目的
To fabricate a highly conductive, mechanically stable, flexible, and stretchable electrode for wearable electronics using a feasible laser direct writing (LDW) process.
研究成果
The LDW process is efficient for fabricating skin-compatible metal electrodes with excellent conductivity, transparency, and mechanical-electrical stability. The micro-spring structured electrodes show great potential for wearable electronics, with applications demonstrated in electric-thermal physical therapy devices.
研究不足
The study does not address the long-term durability of the electrodes under continuous use or the potential for large-scale production challenges.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs a laser direct writing (LDW) process to fabricate micro-spring structured metal electrodes. The process involves printing reverse templates on Si substrates and electro-deposition to deposit metal ions (Ni, Ag) on the exposed conductive substrate surface.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Conductive silicon substrates are used as the base for the LDW process. The metal electrodes are transferred to flexible polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrates.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A 1064 nm IR laser (JPT Electronics), SEM (HITACHI SU8010), AFM (Dimension Icon, Bruker), optical microscope (CMM-55E), four-probe tester (ST2263), UV-2550 spectrophotometer (Shimadzu), and infrared camera (VarioCAM, InfraTec).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The LDW process involves curing a polymer on a conductive silicon substrate, removing uncured parts with DI water, electro-depositing metal ions, and transferring the metal structures to flexible substrates.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The performance of the metal electrodes is evaluated based on sheet resistance, transmittance, and mechanical-electrical stability under stretching and bending.
