Interfacial engineering for high'output, mechanically robust fully stretchable moisture'electric generators
22+ hour, 6+ min ago (840+ words) Fully stretchable hydrogel-based moisture-electric generators (FSHMEGs) are promising power sources for wearable and implantable electronics. Current FSHMEGs are constrained by low electrical output and mechanical fragility, mainly due to weak interfacial adhesiveness within multilayered archi- tectures. Here, we introduce an…...
