Abstract

The fabrication and characterization of all-printed, inexpensive, stretchable electrochemical devices is described. These devices are based on specially engineered inks that can withstand severe tensile strain, as high as 100%, without any significant effect on their electrochemical properties. Such stretchable electrochemical devices should be attractive for diverse sensing and energy applications.

Keywords: electrochemical devices; screen printing; stretchable electronics.
