All-solid-state ionic conductive elastomers (ASSICEs) are emerging as a promising alternative to hydrogels and ionogels in flexible electronics. Nevertheless, the synthesis of ASSICEs with concomitant mechanical robustness, superior ionic conductivity, and cost-effective recyclability poses a formidable challenge, primarily attributed to the inherent contradiction between mechanical strength and ionic conductivity. Herein, we present a collaborative design of high-entropy topological network and multivalent ion-dipole interaction for ASSICEs, and successfully mitigate the contradiction between mechanical robustness and ionic conductivity. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of this design, the coordination, de-coordination, and intrachain transfer of Li are effectively boomed. The resultant ASSICEs display exceptional mechanical robustness (breaking strength: 7.45 MPa, fracture elongation: 2621%, toughness: 107.19 MJ m) and impressive ionic conductivity (1.15 × 10 S m at 25 °C). Furthermore, these ASSICEs exhibit excellent environmental stability (fracture elongation exceeding 1400% at 50 °C or -60 °C) and recyclability. Significantly, the application of these ASSICEs in a strain sensor highlights their potential in various fields, including human-interface communication, aerospace vacuum measurement, and medical balloon monitoring.
全固态离子导电弹性体(ASSICEs)正在成为柔性电子领域中有望替代水凝胶和离子凝胶的材料。然而,合成兼具机械强度、优异离子导电性和经济高效可回收性的ASSICEs面临着巨大挑战,这主要归因于机械强度和离子导电性之间的内在矛盾。在此,我们提出了一种用于ASSICEs的高熵拓扑网络和多价离子 - 偶极相互作用的协同设计,并成功缓解了机械强度和离子导电性之间的矛盾。受益于这种设计的协同效应,锂的配位、去配位和链内转移得到有效促进。所得的ASSICEs表现出出色的机械强度(断裂强度:7.45 MPa,断裂伸长率:2621%,韧性:107.19 MJ m)和令人印象深刻的离子导电性(25°C时为1.15×10 S m)。此外,这些ASSICEs表现出优异的环境稳定性(在50°C或 -60°C时断裂伸长率超过1400%)和可回收性。值得注意的是,这些ASSICEs在应变传感器中的应用凸显了它们在包括人机界面通信、航空航天真空测量和医用气球监测等各个领域的潜力。
