Silver nanowires (AgNWs) have been considered as a promising candidate for transparent stretchable conductors (TSCs). However, the strong interface mismatch of stiff AgNWs and elastic substrates leads to stress concentration at their ultimately low stretchability poor durability TSCs. Here, address interfacial AgNWs-based TSCs we put forward universal tailoring strategy that introduces mercapto compound intermediate cross-linked layer. The strongly interacts with AgNWs, forming dense protective layer on surface improve corrosion resistance, reacts polymer substrate, buffer release concentrated stress. As result, optimized showed superior (160%), exceptional (230 000 cycles), competent optoelectrical performance (18.0 ohm·sq-1 transmittance 86.5%), prominent stability. This work provides clear guidance impetus development electronics.
