摘要

Wearable technology has rapidly advanced in recent years, with transparent electrodes playing a crucial role due to their optoelectronic properties, stretchability, and cost-effectiveness. This study employs the blade-coating method to prepare hydrogel electrodes and examines the impact of sodium alginate addition on the resulting hydrogel’s mechanical, optical, and electrical properties. Experimental results indicate that the double-network hydrogel electrode with an additional 2 mM exhibits the lowest resistivity (123.13 Ω cm) and the best cyclic stability. This research provides significant theoretical and experimental foundations for the extensive application of hydrogels and the development of wearable light-emitting devices, demonstrating broad application prospects.
