Flexible conductive fibers have attracted significant attention in the wearable electronics field because of light weight, small size, and easy shape morphing. To date, there are few reports on multifunctional flexible conductive fibers. Finding a facile and effective solution for large-scale production of flexible conductive fibers is still a challenge. In this work, a flexible core-sheath fiber with excellent electrical conductivity (24.71 Ω·m) and visible light sensing is fabricated, which contains a merocyanine diol (MC(OH)2)/CrCl3·6H2O/ethanol aqueous solution core layer and a silicon rubber outer layer. The synthesized MC(OH)2 is an intelligent molecular switch with a visible light response that can reversibly convert from open-form MC(OH)2 to closed-form spiropyran diol (SP(OH)2) after short visible light irradiation. In the reverse process, the transition from SP(OH)2 to MC(OH)2 can occur gradually in the dark. This can be used to sense visible light in addition to electrical conductivity. The reversible change in the electrical resistance of the MC(OH)2/CrCl3·6H2O/ethanol aqueous solution reaches 15.59%. This fiber shows excellent electrical conductivity, good flexibility, a sensitive visible light response, good photochromism, a simple structure, low cost, easy preparation, and suitability for industrial large-scale production, offering promise for applications in the fields of flexible and wearable electronics. |
