Liquid Metal‐Based Transient Circuits for Flexible and Recyclable Electronics
Abstract
Transient electronics, arising electronic devices with dissolvable or degradable features on demand, is still at an early stage of development due to the limited choices of materials and strategies. Herein, a facile fabrication method for transient circuits by the combination of room‐temperature liquid metals (RTLMs) as the electronic circuit and water‐soluble poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as the packaging material is reported. The as‐made transient circuits exhibit remarkable durability and stable electric performance upon bending and twisting, while possessing short transience times, owing to the excellent solubility of PVA substrates and the intrinsic flexibility of RTLM patterns. Moreover, the RTLM‐based transient circuit shows an extremely high recycling efficiency, up to 96% of the employed RTLM can be recovered. As such, the economic and environmental viability of transient electronics increases substantially. To validate this concept, the surface patterning of RTLMs with complicated shapes is demonstrated, and a transient antenna is subsequently applied for passive near‐field communication tag and a transient capacitive touch sensor. The application of the RTLM‐based transient circuit for sequentially turning off an array of light‐emitting‐diode lamps is also demonstrated. The present RTLM‐based PVA‐encapsulated circuits substantially expand the scope of transient electronics toward flexible and recyclable transient systems.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
