We propose a silver precursor with in situ reduction under an adhesive substrate with a silver precursor penetration effect. It shows a high durability under mechanical deformation resulting from the composite form of the Ag-penetrated electrode adhesive. This stretchable electrode in which the silver particles are tightly penetrated into the adhesive with a confining effect can be used for various purposes since it offers water-proof properties and a high mechanical stability up to 70% strain, radius of curvature 0.5 mm ( R/ R0< 1.5), and electrical resistance of 0.58 ± 0.063 kΩ □-1 by adhering to the multipurpose application.
