This study successfully integrates chitosan and triboelectric nanogenerator, developing a multifunctional electronic skin with sweat permeability, controllable biodegradability, high transparency, and self-powered sensing ability. Furthermore, a facile fabrication strategy is proposed to construct stretchable, transparent, and shape-adaptable gold nanofiber electrodes. The electronic skin exhibits high pressure sensitivity and fast response time, as well as controllable degradation in various solutions.
The simultaneous achievement of multiple functional attributes, such as flexibility, stretchability, transparency, comfortability, biodegradability, and self-powered ability into electronic skins (e-skins) is vital to their long-term practical applications. Due to the internal contradiction between functional material combination and simple structural design, this kind of multifunctional e-skin has rarely been fabricated or even reported. To this end, chitosan (CS), a natural material with remarkable biocompatibility, biodegradability, and electron-donating ability, is integrated with a single-mode triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) to develop a multifunctional e-skin, which includes sweat permeability, controllable biodegradability, high transparency, and self-powered sensing ability. In addition, a facile, efficient, and large-scale fabrication strategy is proposed to construct stretchable, ultrathin, transparent, and shape-adaptable gold nanofibers (Au NFs) electrodes. Furthermore, the e-skin can achieve a voltage response pressure sensitivity of 0.012 kPa(-1) in the pressure range of 0-70 kPa and a fast response time of 70 ms. Finally, it shows controllable and excellent degradability in various solutions. It is believed that the proposed e-skin based on the design and integration of CS and Au NFs will provide a paradigm shift for the next-generation self-powered transient electronics.
