Freestanding Organic Charge-Transfer Conformal Electronics

Wearable conformal electronics are essential components for next-generation humanlike sensing devices that can accurately respond to external stimuli in nonplanar and dynamic surfaces. However, to explore this potential, it is indispensable to achieve the desired level of deformability and charge-transport mobility in strain-accommodating soft semiconductors. Here, we show pseudo-two-dimensional freestanding conjugated polymer heterojunction nanosheets integrated into substrate-free conformal electronics owing to their exceptional crystalline controlled charge transport and high level of mechanical strength. These freestanding and mechanical robust polymer nanosheets can be adapted into a variety of artificial structured surfaces such as fibers, squares, circles, etc., which produce large-area stretchable conformal charge-transfer sensors for real-time static and dynamic monitoring
