Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a hybrid (Au/Ag) metal grid electrode embedded in CSMPI (BMG/CSMPI) using a self-cracking template and solution-coating.
  • Integration of BMG/CSMPI into white polymer light-emitting diodes (WPLEDs).
  • Characterization of the BMG/CSMPI hybrid for transparency, conductivity, flexibility, and shape-memory behavior.

Main Results:

  • Achieved ultrasmooth surface, superior mechanical flexibility, durability, strong adhesion, and excellent chemical stability in BMG/CSMPI.
  • Demonstrated active and deformable WPLEDs based on BMG/CSMPI with shape memory effect.
  • Successfully converted 2D devices into 3D devices with variable stiffness, capable of shape recovery upon heating.

Conclusions:

  • The novel BMG/CSMPI hybrid electrode is suitable for flexible electronic devices.
  • The shape memory effect enables the transformation of 2D devices into 3D configurations with active shape recovery.
  • This work advances the development of ultrathin, flexible 3D optoelectronic devices for future applications.
