Supramolecular interface decoration on a polymer conductor for an intrinsically stretchable near-infrared photodiode

Stretchable photodiodes with near-infrared (NIR) response face the challenge of material deficiency. A supramolecular cathode with excellent optical, tensile and electrical properties was proposed. Together with a stretchable organic heterojunction, we developed an intrinsically stretchable NIR photodiode with high detectivity over 1011 Jones and that remained functional under 100% strain. A supramolecular cathode with high transparency and dynamic stability is developed by interface modification on a polymer conductor for intrinsically stretchable near-infrared photodiodes.

Automated summary

In this study, a solution to the challenge of material deficiency in stretchable photodiodes with near-infrared response was proposed. By using a supramolecular cathode with excellent properties and a stretchable organic heterojunction, an intrinsically stretchable NIR photodiode with high detectivity was developed, which remained functional under high strain.
