Stretchable ionogels have recently emerged as promising soft and safe ionic conductive materials for use in wearable and stretchable electrochemical devices. However, the complex preparation process and insufficient thermomechanical stability greatly limit the precise rapid fabrication and application of stretchable ionogels. Here, we report an in situ 3D printing method for fabricating high-performance single network chemical ionogels as advanced strain sensors. The ionogels consist of a special cross-linking network constructed by poly(ionic liquid) and hyperbranched polymer (macro-cross-linkers) that exhibits high stretchability (>1000%), superior room-temperature ionic conductivity (up to 5.8 mS/cm), and excellent thermomechanical stability (-75 to 250 °C). The strain sensors based on ionogels have a low response time (200 ms), high sensitivity with temperature independence, long-term durability (2000 cycles), and excellent temperature tolerance (-60 to 250 °C) and can be used as human motion sensors. This work provides a new strategy to design highly stretchable and superior stable electronic devices.
可拉伸离子凝胶最近已成为用于可穿戴和可拉伸电化学装置的有前景的柔软且安全的离子导电材料。然而,复杂的制备过程和不足的热机械稳定性极大地限制了可拉伸离子凝胶的精确快速制造和应用。在此,我们报道了一种用于制造高性能单网络化学离子凝胶作为先进应变传感器的原位3D打印方法。这些离子凝胶由聚(离子液体)和超支化聚合物(宏观交联剂)构建的特殊交联网络组成,该网络具有高拉伸性(>1000%)、优异的室温离子电导率(高达5.8 mS/cm)和出色的热机械稳定性(-75至250°C)。基于离子凝胶的应变传感器具有低响应时间(200毫秒)、与温度无关的高灵敏度、长期耐久性(2000次循环)以及优异的温度耐受性(-60至250°C),并且可以用作人体运动传感器。这项工作为设计高度可拉伸且稳定性优异的电子器件提供了一种新策略。
