研究背景
可拉伸电子器件突破了刚性无机电子材料的机械限制,打破了半导体、人工智能和临床医学等各行各业的技术障碍。可拉伸传感器,包括 LED 阵列、晶体二极管或医疗贴片在各个领域都表现出卓越的灵活性和应用潜力。尽管取得了重大进展,但可拉伸电子器件的固有可拉伸元件仍存在一些局限性,如稳定性差、在施加机械应变时电气性能下降等,这些都阻碍了器件实现高性能、高可靠性和高集成度静电扬声器需要传统的金属材料,如电容器和弹簧,因为它们的发声过程依赖于静电迫使振膜振动,导致面积大、质量重。因此,它们无法适用于可穿戴设备。目前,可拉伸声学设备仍未问世因此研究工作主要集中在提高设备的性能和稳定性上由于石墨烯具有超强的断裂强度(42N m-1)和杨氏模量(1 TPa)、出色的导热性以及极佳的声学特性,它是一种理想的声学材料;因此,目前正在开发许多基于石墨烯的声学设备。此外,有关可拉伸声学设备的研究也在进行之中。

研究成果
热声器件作为柔性超薄声源具有巨大潜力。然而,基于热声机制的可拉伸声源仍然难以实现因为在合理范围内实现稳定的阻力具有挑战性。清华大学任天令&田禾教授团队在编织物上制造了基于石墨烯墨水的可拉伸热声器件。在优化石墨烯油墨浓度后,该器件在非拉伸状态下运行 4000 次时,电阻变化了 8.94%。经过多次弯曲、折、挤压和水洗后,该装置的声压级(SPL)变化不超过10%。此外,在特定范围内,声压级随应变的增加而增加,显示出一种类似负微分电阻(NDR)效应的现象。这项研究为电子皮肤和可穿戴电子设备使用可拉伸热声器件提供了启示。相关研究以“Stretchable Ink Printed Graphene Device with Weft-Knitted Fabric Substrate Based on Thermal-Acoustic Effect”为题发表在ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces期刊上。

总结与展望
总之,作者通过使用二维材料打印机在预拉伸织物基底上直接打印石墨烯/去离子水混合墨水提出了 SGTAD。该制备技术简单实用,有望应用于图案绘制和自动化批量生产。实验结果表明,SGTAD 经过多次拉伸、戳穿、折、水洗和弯曲后仍能输出稳定的声音,不同频段的平均性能衰减率分别为 8.94%、9.2%、9.4%、9.8%和 6%。在可拉伸性、性能稳定性、抗破坏性、易制备性、可弯曲性和声音性能这六个关键方面,拟议的设备都优于以前的设备。这表明拟议的设备在可穿戴电子设备领域大有可为。此外,还首次观察到声压级随应变而增加。现有的石墨烯织物器件 NDR 模型被扩展到声学领域。模拟结果与实验结果完全吻合。这项工作将激励声学设备的开发,预计这些设备将用于检测人类活动中的微小变化。
