Mechanically exfoliated graphene mounted on a SiO2/Si substrate was subjected to HF/H(2)O etching or irradiation by energetic protons. In both cases gas released from the SiO2 and accumulated at graphene/SiO2 interface resulting in formation of "bubbles" sheet. Formation these demonstrates robust nature single layer membranes, which are capable containing mesoscopic volumes gas. addition, effective mass transport has been observed.
Stretchable organic light-emitting diodes are ubiquitous in the rapidly developing wearable display technology. However, low efficiency and poor mechanical stability inhibit their commercial applications owing to restrictions generated by strain. Here, we demonstrate exceptional performance of a transparent (molybdenum-trioxide/gold/molybdenum-trioxide) electrode for buckled, twistable, geometrically stretchable under 2-dimensional random area strain with invariant color coordinates. The...
Abstract Intrinsically stretchable organic light‐emitting diodes (ISOLEDs) are becoming essential components of wearable electronics. However, the efficiencies ISOLEDs have been highly inferior compared with their rigid counterparts, which is due to lack ideal electrode materials that can overcome poor charge injection at 1D metallic nanowire/organic interfaces. Herein, efficient use graphene‐based 2D‐contact electrodes (TCSEs) incorporate a graphene layer on top embedded nanowires...
