• ; encapsulation; fabrication strategy; transient electronics; Introduction In recent years, a growing global concern has emerged regarding the unintended consequences of material longevity on sustainability initiatives, particularly in light of the escalating crisis of plastic waste accumulation in landfills and

• electronic devices has created fertile ground for the convergence of flexible electronics with lifetime-controllable material systems [13]. This confluence has given rise to the emerging field of transient electronics, that is, devices engineered to function over a defined time window before undergoing

• conditions. For example, for transient electronics it has become a major challenge to understand and control the factors of materials transformation in aqueous systems [1][2]. Under ambient conditions, nanostructured and highly dispersed metal oxides are instantaneously coated with thin water films. These
