Regulating the electrochemical redox behavior of semiconducting polymers on soft and stretchable substrates and methods of use

Abstract

An intrinsically stretchable organic electrochemical transistor with overall performance benchmarkable to a rigid device. The high performance was realized by reducing the oxygen level (PO2) of the stretchable substrates, which facilitates the de-doping of the conducting polymer channel. The high-performance intrinsically stretchable OECT is usable not only as a new device paradigm to impact the field of soft bioelectronics and promote the use of tissue-like stretchable OECTs in areas such as epidermal biosensing, soft neuromorphic computing and soft human-machine interfaces, but also to reveal a new critical parameter to alter the performance of stretchable conducting polymer-based devices.
