Transparent thermoelectric CdO thin films exhibit critical flexibility and thermoelectric performance that require focused research to advance flexible transparent self-powered devices. Here, we demonstrate the superior flexibility of freestanding single-crystalline CdO membranes. These membranes achieve a notable room-temperature power factor of 1.48 μW·cm-1·K-2 and exhibit superior optical transmittance exceeding 94% in the 550-800 nm range. Crucially, freestanding CdO exhibits exceptional mechanical robustness, retaining >90% electrical conductivity after 1000 bending cycles (radius: 11.5 mm). Microstructure analyses confirm polycrystalline CdO films suffer from grain boundary cracking under bending due to stress concentration, but single-crystal CdO membranes-without grain boundaries to concentrate stress-exhibit better flexibility and resistance to cracking. Furthermore, curvature-induced strain boosts the power factor by 12.8%, providing a curvature-controlled strain engineering strategy to optimize flexible thermoelectric performance. This work establishes free-standing CdO as a highly efficient and flexible thermoelectric material and suggests a fundamental strategy for designing robust smart materials for transparent, self-powered flexible electronics.
