Ultrastretchable, Highly Transparent, Wearable Gold Nanowire Generators

下一代可穿戴电子产品应该是薄的，柔软的，甚至是透明的，能够实现传统刚性电子产品无法实现的应用。这种未来的电子产品将需要破坏性的软皮肤适形能源设备来供电。本计画旨在发展一种双模态金奈米线逾渗策略，以设计出具有导电性、光学透明性及机械可拉伸性的金奈米线导体。它预计将产生纳米材料设计方面的新知识和制造皮肤状隐形可穿戴发电机的新技术。这将为提高澳大利亚在纳米技术和能源科学领域的地位提供重大利益，并带来潜在的经济收益。

Next-generation wearable electronics should be thin, soft and even transparent, enabling applications impossible to achieve with traditional rigid electronics. Such future electronics will require disruptive soft skin-conformal energy devices to power. This project aims to develop a bi-modal gold nanowire percolation strategy to design ultrathin conductors that are electrically conductive, optically transparent and mechanically stretchable. It expects to generate new knowledge in nanomaterials design and new technologies to fabricate skin-like invisible wearable generators. This should provide significant benefits in advancing Australian standing in the fields of nanotechnology and energy science, and bringing potential economic gains.
