Objectives
1. To synthesize a series of OMIECs and OMIECs-hydrogels under controlled condition to explore the dependency of ionic, electronic, and ion-electron coupling on material structures and processing conditions. 2. To investigate the mechanical and fatigue properties of the OMIECs, revealing the effect of strain on ion/electron properties. 3. To investigate electrodes’ metrics' dependency on OMIECs properties. To explore the ability to control their stretchability and performance through experimental and wearable feedback.
