Though various stretchable conductors with high stability are being devised, fabricating stretchable stacked circuits with them leads to new challenges. The most critical problem is evoked by vertical interconnection access (<strong>VIA</strong>) structures, which inevitably become stress-concentrated areas when stretched. Consequently, stretchable circuits become much more unstable when manufactured as stacked circuits than single-layered circuits. Here, we demonstrate a monolithically stacked VIA-free stretchable liquid metal circuit that is mechanically one-body-merged and electrically stacked-circuit-designed. The circuit has no vertical structures, which endows extreme electromechanical stability with various features. It is realized by unique combinations of liquid metal conductor and selective surface treatment. The stacked circuit can be elongated over 1,100 % strain, demonstrating negligible difference in stretchability compared to a single-layered circuit. The circuit also possesses various distinctive characteristics of security, choosability, and extendability. As proof, we demonstrate an encryption element, a choosable circuit, an extendable circuit, and other functional circuits. We expect the proposed stacked circuit to give directions to stretchable stacked electronics with various functionalities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":387,"journal":{"name":"Materials Today","volume":"83 ","pages":"Pages 24-34"},"PeriodicalIF":21.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143601214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While extensive research has been conducted on LHCEs, the molecular-level mechanisms by which antisolvents function remain partially elusive. This study employs a combination of spectroscopic analysis and computational methods to investigate the impact of the antisolvent 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl ether (TTE) on the solvation structures within carbonate-based LHCEs. Our results suggest that the incorporation of TTE modifies the Li<sup>+</sup> solvation structure by decreasing the dimethyl carbonate (DMC) concentration and increasing the anion proportion in the solvation shell, thereby enhancing Li<sup>+</sup> transport. Furthermore, two-dimensional infrared (2D IR) spectroscopy discloses that elevated TTE content cause the decrease of the inhomogeneous components of LHCEs, and limited spectral diffusion relaxation dynamics are related to the refined aggregates in higher TTE addition. Most notably, 2D IR spectroscopy enables the detection of the ultrafast dynamics within the solvation structure. Specifically, at higher TTE concentrations, there is a swift energy transfer between Li<sup>+</sup>-DMC and free DMC. The picosecond-scale disparity in energy transfer times implies a possible link to the effectiveness of Li<sup>+</sup> transport.
