Conductive hydrogels are attracting tremendous interest in the field of flexible and wearable soft strain sensors because of their great potential in electronic skins, and personalized healthcare monitoring. However, conventional conductive hydrogels using pure water as the dispersion medium will inevitably freeze at subzero temperatures, resulting in the diminishment of their conductivity and mechanical properties; meanwhile, even at room temperature, such hydrogels suffer from the inevitable loss of water due to evaporation, which leads to a poor shelf‐life. Herein, an antifreezing, self‐healing, and conductive MXene nanocomposite organohydrogel (MNOH) is developed by immersing MXene nanocomposite hydrogel (MNH) in ethylene glycol (EG) solution to replace a portion of the water molecules. The MNH is prepared from the incorporation of the conductive MXene nanosheet networks into hydrogel polymer networks. The as‐prepared MNOH exhibits an outstanding antifreezing property (?40 °C), long‐lasting moisture retention (8 d), excellent self‐healing capability, and superior mechanical properties. Furthermore, this MNOH can be assembled as a wearable strain sensor to detect human biologic activities with a relatively broad strain range (up to 350% strain) and a high gauge factor of 44.85 under extremely low temperatures. This work paves the way for potential applications in electronic skins, human?machine interactions, and personalized healthcare monitoring.  相似文献

Due to their intrinsic flexibility, tunable conductivity, multiple stimulus-response, and self-healing ability, ionic conductive hydrogels have drawn significant attention in flexible/wearable electronics. However, challenges remain because traditional hydrogels inevitably faced the problems of losing flexibility and conductivity because of the inner water loss when exposed to the ambient environment. Besides, the water inside the hydrogel will freeze at the water icing temperatures, making the device hard and fragile. As a promising alternative, organogels have attracted wide attention because they can, to some extent, overcome the above drawbacks. Herein, a kind of organogel ionic conductor (MOIC) by a self-polymerization reaction is involved, which is super stretchable, anti-drying, and anti-freezing. Meanwhile, it can still maintain high mechanical stability after alternately loading/unloading at the strain of 600% for 600 s (1800 cycles). Using this MOIC, high-performance triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is constructed (MOIC-TENG) to harvest small mechanical energy even the MOIC electrode underwent an extremely low temperature. In addition, multifunctional flexible/wearable sensors (strain sensor, piezoresistive sensor, and tactile sensor) are realized to monitor human motions in real time, and recognize different materials by triboelectric effect. This study demonstrates a promising candidate material for flexible/wearable electronics such as electronic skin, flexible sensors, and human-machine interfaces.  相似文献

Hydrogel electrolytes have high room-temperature conductivity and can be widely used in energy storage device. However, hydrogels suffer from the inevitable freezing of water at subzero temperatures, resulting in the diminishment of their conductivity and mechanical properties. How to achieve high conductivity without sacrificing hydrogels’ flexibility at subzero temperature is an important challenge. To address this challenge, a new type of zwitterionic polymer hydrogel (polySH) electrolytes is fabricated. The anionic and cationic counterions on the polymer chains facilitate the dissociation of LiCl. The antifreezing electrolyte can be stretched to a strain of 325% and compressed to 75% at −40 °C and possesses an outstanding conductivity of 12.6 mS cm−1 at −40 °C. A direct hopping migration mechanism of hydrated lithium-ion through the channel of zwitterion groups is proposed. The polySH electrolyte-based-supercapacitor (SC) exhibits a high specific capacitance of 178 mF cm−2 at 60 °C and 134 mF cm−2 at −30 °C with a retention of 81% and 71% of the initial capacitance after 10 000 cycles, respectively. The overall merits of the electrolyte will open up a new avenue for advanced ionic conductors and energy storage device in practical applications.  相似文献

Conductive hydrogels as flexible electronic devices, not only have unique attractions but also meet the basic need of mechanical flexibility and intelligent sensing. How to endow anisotropy and a wide application temperature range for traditional homogeneous conductive hydrogels and flexible sensors is still a challenge. Herein, a directional freezing method is used to prepare anisotropic MXene conductive hydrogels that are inspired by ordered structures of muscles. Due to the anisotropy of MXene conductive hydrogels, the mechanical properties and electrical conductivity are enhanced in specific directions. The hydrogels have a wide temperature resistance range of −36 to 25 °C through solvent substitution. Thus, the muscle-inspired MXene conductive hydrogels with anisotropy and low-temperature resistance can be used as wearable flexible sensors. The sensing signals are further displayed on the mobile phone as images through wireless technology, and images will change with the collected signals to achieve motion detection. Multiple flexible sensors are also assembled into a 3D sensor array for detecting the magnitude and spatial distribution of forces or strains. The MXene conductive hydrogels with ordered orientation and anisotropy are promising for flexible sensors, which have broad application prospects in human–machine interface compatibility and medical monitoring.  相似文献

The development of stretchable/soft electronics requires power sources that can match their stretchability. In this study, a highly stretchable, transparent, and environmentally stable triboelectric nanogenerator with ionic conductor electrodes (iTENG) is reported. The ion‐conducting elastomer (ICE) electrode, together with a dielectric elastomer electrification layer, allows the ICE‐iTENG to achieve a stretchability of 1036% and transmittance of 91.5%. Most importantly, the ICE is liquid solvent‐free and thermally stable up to 335 °C, avoiding the dehydration‐induced performance degradation of commonly used hydrogels. The ICE‐iTENG shows no decrease in electrical output even after storing at 100 °C for 15 h. Biomechanical motion energies are demonstrated to be harvested by the ICE‐iTENG for powering wearable electronics intermittently without extra power sources. An ICE‐iTENG‐based pressure sensor is also developed with sensitivity up to 2.87 kPa?1. The stretchable ICE‐iTENG overcomes the strain‐induced performance degradation using percolated electrical conductors and liquid evaporation‐induced degradation using ion‐conducting hydrogels/ionogels, suggesting great promising applications in soft/stretchable electronics under a relatively wider temperature range.  相似文献

To date, ionic conducting hydrogel attracts tremendous attention as an alternative to the conventional rigid metallic conductors in fabricating flexible devices, owing to their intrinsic characteristics. However, simultaneous realization of high stiffness, toughness, ionic conductivity, and freezing tolerance through a simple approach is still a challenge. Here, a novel highly stretchable (up to 660%), strong (up to 2.1 MPa), tough (5.25 MJ m?3), and transparent (up to 90%) ionic conductive (3.2 S m?1) organohydrogel is facilely fabricated, through sol–gel transition of polyvinyl alcohol and cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) in dimethyl sulfoxide‐water solvent system. The ionic conductive organohydrogel presents superior freezing tolerance, remaining flexible and conductive (1.1 S m?1) even at ?70 °C, as compared to the other reported anti‐freezing ionic conductive (organo)hydrogel. Notably, this material design demonstrates synergistic effect of CNFs in boosting both mechanical properties and ionic conductivity, tackling a long‐standing dilemma among strength, toughness, and ionic conductivity for the ionic conducting hydrogel. In addition, the organohydrogel displays high sensitivity toward both tensile and compressive deformation and based on which multi‐functional sensors are assembled to detect human body movement with high sensitivity, stability, and durability. This novel organohydrogel is envisioned to function as a versatile platform for multi‐functional sensors in the future.  相似文献

Application of degradable organic electronics based on biomaterials, such as polylactic‐co‐glycolic acid and polylactide (PLA), is severely limited by their low thermal stability. Here, a highly thermally stable organic transistor is demonstrated by applying a three‐arm stereocomplex PLA (tascPLA) as dielectric and substrate materials. The resulting flexible transistors are stable up to 200 °C, while devices based on traditional PLA are damaged at 100 °C. Furthermore, charge‐ trapping effect induced by polar groups of the dielectric is also utilized to significantly enhance the temperature sensitivity of the electronic devices. Skin‐like temperature sensor array is successfully demonstrated based on such transistors, which also exhibited good biocompatibility in cytotoxicity measurement. By presenting combined advantages of transparency, flexibility, thermal stability, temperature sensitivity, degradability, and biocompatibility, these organic transistors thus possess a broad applicability such as environment friendly electronics, implantable medical devices, and artificial skin.  相似文献

Conductive hydrogels are a promising class of materials to design bioelectronics for new technological interfaces with human body, which are required to work for a long‐term or under extreme environment. Traditional hydrogels are limited in short‐term usage under room temperature, as it is difficult to retain water under cold or hot environment. Inspired by the antifreezing/antiheating behaviors from nature, and based on mussel chemistry, an adhesive and conductive hydrogel is developed with long‐lasting moisture lock‐in capability and extreme temperature tolerance, which is formed in a binary‐solvent system composed of water and glycerol. Polydopamine (PDA)‐decorated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are incorporated into the hydrogel, which assign conductivity to the hydrogel and serve as nanoreinforcements to enhance the mechanical properties of the hydrogel. The catechol groups on PDA and viscous glycerol endow the hydrogel with high tissue adhesiveness. Particularly, the hydrogel is thermal tolerant to maintain all the properties under extreme wide tempreature spectrum (?20 or 60 °C) or stored for a long term. In summary, this mussel‐inspired hydrogel is a promising material for self‐adhesive bioelectronics to detect biosignals in cold or hot environments, and also as a dressing to protect skin from injuries related to frostbites or burns.  相似文献

High conductivity, large mechanical strength, and elongation are important parameters for soft electronic applications. However, it is difficult to find a material with balanced electronic and mechanical performance. Here, a simple method is developed to introduce ion‐rich pores into strong hydrogel matrix and fabricate a novel ionic conductive hydrogel with a high level of electronic and mechanical properties. The proposed ionic conductive hydrogel is achieved by physically cross‐linking the tough biocompatible polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) gel as the matrix and embedding hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) biopolymer fibers inside matrix followed by salt solution soaking. The wrinkle and dense structure induced by salting in PVA matrix provides large stress (1.3 MPa) and strain (975%). The well‐distributed porous structure as well as ion migration–facilitated ion‐rich environment generated by embedded HPC fibers dramatically enhances ionic conductivity (up to 3.4 S m?1, at f = 1 MHz). The conductive hybrid hydrogel can work as an artificial nerve in a 3D printed robotic hand, allowing passing of stable and tunable electrical signals and full recovery under robotic hand finger movements. This natural rubber‐like ionic conductive hydrogel has a promising application in artificial flexible electronics.  相似文献

The advent of special types of transparent electrodes, known as “ultrathin metal electrodes,” opens a new avenue for flexible and printable electronics based on their excellent optical transparency in the visible range while maintaining their intrinsic high electrical conductivity and mechanical flexibility. In this new electrode architecture, introducing metal nucleation inducers (MNIs) on flexible plastic substrates is a key concept to form high‐quality ultrathin metal films (thickness ≈ 10 nm) with smooth and continuous morphology. Herein, this paper explores the role of “polymeric” MNIs in fabricating ultrathin metal films by employing various polymers with different surface energies and functional groups. Moreover, a scalable approach is demonstrated using the ionic self‐assembly on typical plastic substrates, yielding large‐area electrodes (21 × 29.7 cm2) with high optical transmittance (>95%), low sheet resistance (<10 Ω sq?1), and extreme mechanical flexibility. The results demonstrate that this new class of flexible and transparent electrodes enables the fabrication of efficient polymer light‐emitting diodes.  相似文献

Hydrogels are widely used in flexible aqueous batteries due to their liquid‐like ion transportation abilities and solid‐like mechanical properties. Their potential applications in flexible and wearable electronics introduce a fundamental challenge: how to lower the freezing point of hydrogels to preserve these merits without sacrificing hydrogels' basic advantages in low cost and high safety. Moreover, zinc as an ideal anode in aqueous batteries suffers from low reversibility because of the formation of insulative byproducts, which is mainly caused by hydrogen evolution via extensive hydration of zinc ions. This, in principle, requires the suppression of hydration, which induces an undesirable increase in the freezing point of hydrogels. Here, it is demonstrated that cooperatively hydrated cations, zinc and lithium ions in hydrogels, are very effective in addressing the above challenges. This simple but unique hydrogel not only enables a 98% capacity retention upon cooling down to ?20 °C from room temperature but also allows a near 100% capacity retention with >99.5% Coulombic efficiency over 500 cycles at ?20 °C. In addition, the strengthened mechanical properties of the hydrogel under subzero temperatures result in excellent durability under various harsh deformations after the freezing process.  相似文献

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells usually suffer from severe power loss and even damage under subzero‐temperature working surroundings, which restricts their practical use in cold climates and in high‐altitude drones. One of the effective solutions to these issues is to develop new types of proton‐conductive materials at subzero temperature. This study presents a series of acylhydrazone‐based covalent organic gels (COGs). The COGs are stable in acidic media and show high proton conductivity over the temperature range of ?40 to 60 °C under anhydrous conditions. Compared with other reported organic conductive materials, both a state‐of‐the‐art conductivity of 3.8 × 10?4 S cm?1 at ?40 °C and superior long‐term stability are demonstrated. Moreover, the COGs possess remarkable self‐sustainability, good processability, and superior mechanical properties, and may be processed and molded into any desirable shapes for practical applications. These advantages make COGs hold great promises as solid‐state electrolytes under subzero‐temperature operating conditions.  相似文献

Solid state lithium metal batteries are the most promising next‐generation power sources owing to their high energy density and safety. Solid polymer electrolytes (SPE) have gained wide attention due to the excellent flexibility, manufacturability, lightweight, and low‐cost processing. However, fatal drawbacks of the SPE such as the insufficient ionic conductivity and Li+ transference number at room temperature restrict their practical application. Here vertically aligned 2D sheets are demonstrated as an advanced filler for SPE with enhanced ionic conductivity, Li+ transference number, mechanical modulus, and electrochemical stability, using vermiculite nanosheets as an example. The vertically aligned vermiculite sheets (VAVS), prepared by the temperature gradient freezing, provide aligned, continuous, run‐through polymer‐filler interfaces after infiltrating with polyethylene oxide (PEO)‐based SPE. As a result, ionic conductivity as high as 1.89 × 10?4 S cm?1 at 25 °C is achieved with Li+ transference number close to 0.5. Along with their enhanced mechanical strength, Li|Li symmetric cells using VAVS–CSPE are stable over 1300 h with a low overpotential. LiFePO4 in all‐solid‐state lithium metal batteries with VAVS–CSPE could deliver a specific capacity of 167 mAh g?1 at 0.1 C at 35 °C and 82% capacity retention after 200 cycles at 0.5 C.  相似文献

Stretchable radio‐frequency electronics are gaining popularity as a result of the increased functionality they gain through their flexible nature, impossible within the confines of rigid and planar substrates. One approach to fabricating stretchable antennas is to embed stretchable or flowable conductive materials, such as conductive polymers, conductive polymer composites, and liquid metal alloys as stretchable conduction lines. However, these conductive materials face many challenges, such as low electrical conductivity under mechanical deformation and delamination from substrates. In the present study, a silicone‐based electrically conductive adhesive (silo‐ECA) is developed that have a conductivity of 1.51 × 104 S cm?1 and can maintain conductivity above 1.11 × 103 S cm?1, even at a large stain of 240%. By using the stretchable silo‐ECAs as a conductor pattern and pure silicone elastomers as a base substrate, stretchable antennas can be fabricated by stencil printing or soft‐lithography. The resulting antenna's resonant frequency is tunable over a wide range by mechanical modulation. This fabrication method is low‐cost, can support large‐scale production, has high reliability over a wide temperature range, and eliminates the concerns of leaking or delamination between conductor and substrate experienced in previously reported micro‐fluidic antennas.  相似文献

Flexible electronics are drawing tremendous interest for various applications in wearable healthcare biomonitoring, on‐demand therapy, and human–machine interactions. However, conventional plastic substrates with uncomfortableness, mechanical mismatches, and impermeability have limited the application of flexible on‐skin electronic devices for healthcare biomonitoring and on‐demand therapy. Herein, flexible breathable electronic devices with the capabilities of real‐time temperature sensing and timely on‐demand anti‐infection therapy at wound sites are presented. These devices are assembled from a crosslinked electrospun moxifloxacin hydrochloride (MOX)‐loaded thermoresponsive polymer nanomesh film with a conductive pattern. The conductive polymer nanomesh film demonstrates excellent flexibility, reliable breathability, and robust environmental stability. Furthermore, the assembled temperature sensor displays a linear relationship between the electrical resistance and temperature, potentially enabling real‐time biomonitoring of tissue temperature at the wound site. Smart artificial electronic skins (E‐skins) are assembled from the thermoresponsive polymer nanomesh film for spatial touching sensing mapping of temperature changes. Furthermore, the flexible temperature sensor is coupled with a wireless transmitter for real‐time wireless temperature monitoring. Notably, the thermoresponsive polymer nanomesh film can also be assembled as a highly efficient flexible heater to trigger the on‐demand release of antibiotics loaded in the fibers to eliminate bacterial colonization in the wound site once infection has occurred.  相似文献

Inherently tissue-like feature and multifunctional property of hydrogels make themself excellent materials for flexible electronics. However, conventional hydrogels with insufficient mechanical strength and poor fatigue resistance are damaged or lose service stability when subjected to alternating stress. Herein, self-reinforced hydrogels are fabricated from elaborately designed ionic conductive hydrogels after repetitive sweat soak-dehydration (SSD) treatment. The tensile strength of self-reinforced hydrogels is improved to 930 from 480 kPa and exhibits insensitivity to crack propagation in any direction after 6 SSD treatment cycles. In addition, the self-reinforced hydrogels show excellent skin friendliness compared with commercial wearable materials in a skin-compatibility mouse model. Bringing together those advantages, various skin-contactable flexible electronics are fabricated utilizing the self-reinforced hydrogels and an emergency alarming system for acute myocardial infarction caused cardiogenic shock is also integrated that is expected to help potential patients in accidents.  相似文献

In the field of flexible electronics, emerging applications require biocompatible and unobtrusive devices, which can withstand different modes of mechanical deformation and achieve low complexity in the fabrication process. Here, the fabrication of a mesa‐shaped elastomeric substrate, supporting thin‐film transistors (TFTs) and logic circuits (inverters), is reported. High‐relief structures are designed to minimize the strain experienced by the electronics, which are fabricated directly on the pillars' surface. In this design configuration, devices based on amorphous indium‐gallium‐zinc‐oxide can withstand different modes of deformation. Bending, stretching, and twisting experiments up to 6 mm radius, 20% uniaxial strain, and 180° global twisting, respectively, are performed to show stable electrical performance of the TFTs. Similarly, a fully integrated digital inverter is tested while stretched up to 20% elongation. As a proof of the versatility of mesa‐shaped geometry, a biocompatible and stretchable sensor for temperature mapping is also realized. Using pectin, which is a temperature‐sensitive material present in plant cells, the response of the sensor shows current modulation from 13 to 28 °C and functionality up to 15% strain. These results demonstrate the performance of highly flexible electronics for a broad variety of applications, including smart skin and health monitoring.  相似文献

Ionogels are promising materials for flexible electronics due to their continuous conductive phase, high thermal and chemical stability. However, a large amount of ionic liquid is required to get high conductivity, resulting in a sharp decline in the mechanical properties. Therefore, it is a great challenge to prepare ionogels with both high conductivity and mechanical properties, which is important for their practical applications. Herein, ionogels with high mechanical strength and stretchability, extraordinary ionic conductivity, excellent transparency, outstanding durability, and stability are fabricated with crosslinked polymer, ionic liquid, and lithium salt. The adoption of lithium salt can significantly improve both the mechanical strength and stretchability, which is a common dilemma in material science, and simultaneously, address the conflict between mechanical strength and ionic conductivity in ionogels. It is primarily corresponding to the microphase-separation effects induced by the lithium bonds formed between lithium ions and carbonyl groups on the polymer networks. Ionotronics including resistance-type sensors for strain and temperature sensing and triboelectric nanogenerators with stable output performance are fabricated. Moreover, ionogel-based microcircuit and sensing arrays with high resolution and accuracy are fabricated through digital light processing printing technology. The ionogels have great promise for various ionotronics in many fields.  相似文献

Stretchable conductive hydrogels with simultaneous high mechanical strength/modulus, and ultrahigh, stable electrical conductivity are ideal for applications in soft robots, artificial skin, and bioelectronics, but to date, they are still very challenging to fabricate. Herein, sandwich-structured hybrid hydrogels based on layers of aramid nanofibers (ANFs) reinforced polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels and a layer of silver nanowires (AgNWs)/PVA are fabricated by electrospinning combined with vacuum-assisted filtration. The hybrid ANF-PVA hydrogels exhibit excellent mechanical properties with the tensile modulus of 10.7–15.4 MPa, tensile strength of 3.3–5.5 MPa, and fracture energy up to 5.7 kJ m−2, primarily attributed to the strong hydrogen bonding interactions between PVA and ANFs and in-plane alignment of the fibrous structure. Rational design of heterogeneous structure endows the hydrogels with ultrahigh apparent electrical conductivity of 1.66 × 104 S m−1, among the highest electrical conductivities ever reported so far for conductive hydrogels. More importantly, this ultrahigh conductivity remains constant upon a broad range of applied strains from 0–90% and over 500 stretching cycles. Furthermore, the hydrogels exhibit excellent Joule heating and electromagnetic interference shielding performances due to the ultrahigh electrical conductivity. These mechanically strong, hybrid hydrogels with ultrahigh and strain-invariant electrical conductivity represent great promises for many important applications such as flexible electronics.  相似文献

The implementation of memristors that are wearable and transparent has attracted significant attention. However, the development of high‐performance memristors that simultaneously possess high flexibility and environmental stability has remained a tremendous challenge suffering from limited choice of materials with both good ion‐electron mobility and structural flexibility. Inspired by the unique poly‐ionic nature of ammonium polyphosphate (APP), a novel Au/APP/ITO memristor with favorable flexibility and stability is prepared. Synaptic behaviors can be stimulated by voltage pulses that are 20 ns in width, 0.1 V in amplitude, and repeatable under 104 pulse cycles, thereby outperforming several other benchmark memristors. Further, the device, prepared on conductive silicone, can sustain its synaptic performance even under 360° bending. Furthermore, the device can sustain its synaptic behaviors even after exposure to fire for 60 s and 5.6 kGy of ionic irradiation. Additionally, APP is determined to be nontoxic, biodegradable, and transparent when compared with all the organics and inorganics used in previous memristors. The results of this study will inspire the development of more inorganic polymers for their utilization in future environmentally stable and flexible electronics.  相似文献
