Abstract
As flexible electronics devices for energy storage, mechanical energy collection and self-powered sensing, stretchable flexible supercapacitor and triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) have attracted extensive attention. However, it is difficult to satisfy the requirements of high safety and resistance to extreme conditions. Dual roles of mechanical and electrical enhancement of inorganic salt are put forward, and a carrageenan (CG) enhanced poly (N-hydroxyethyl acrylamide)/CG/lithium chloride/glycerol (PCLG) conductive gel is prepared by designing hydrogen bonding self-crosslinking and chain entanglement. A high concentration and rapid deposition strategy is proposed to prepare a PCLG gel-based stretchable flexible all-in-one supercapacitor for energy storage, and a single electrode PCLG gel-based TENG is designed for mechanical energy collection, self-powered strain and tactile sensing. The supercapacitor has high capacitance, excellent cycling stability. The TENG possesses efficient energy harvesting with high and stable output voltage and power density, and sensitive and stable self-powered strain and tactile sensing without external power supply. Even under extreme conditions such as low temperatures, self-healing after damage, prolonged placement, deformation, post-deformation, multiple continuous work, pinprick and burning, the supercapacitor and TENG still have excellent properties. Therefore, we provide novel ideas to design flexible supercapacitor and TENG used under extreme conditions for future wearable electronics.

Abstract
Flexible supercapacitors are an important portable energy storage but suffer from low capacitance, inability to stretch, etc. Therefore, flexible supercapacitors must achieve higher capacitance, energy density, and mechanical robustness to expand the applications. Herein, a hydrogel electrode with excellent mechanical strength was created by simulating the collagen fiber network and proteoglycan in cartilage using silk nanofiber (SNF) network and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The Young's modulus and breaking strength of the hydrogel electrode increased by 205 % and 91 % compared with PVA hydrogel owing to the enhanced effect of the bionic structure, respectively, which are 1.22 MPa and 1.3 MPa. The fracture energy and fatigue threshold reached 1813.5 J/m2 and 1585.2 J/m2, respectively. The SNF network effectively connected carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and polypyrrole (PPy) in series, affording a capacitance of 13.62 F/cm2 and energy density of 1.2098 mWh/cm2. This capacitance is the highest among currently reported PVA hydrogel capacitors, which can maintain >95.2 % after 3000 charge-discharge cycles. This capacitance Notably, the cartilage-like structure endowed the supercapacitor with high resilience; thus, the capacitance remained >92.1 % under 150 % deformation and >93.35 % after repeated stretching (3000 times), which was far superior to that of other PVA-based supercapacitors. Overall, this effective bionic strategy can endow supercapacitors with ultrahigh capacitance and effectively ensure the mechanical reliability of flexible supercapacitors, which will help expand the applications of supercapacitors.

Abstract
All-solid-state Ti3C2Tx neutral symmetric fiber supercapacitors (PVA EGHG Ti3C2Tx FSCs) with high energy density and wide temperature range are constructed by using polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-ethylene glycol hydrogel (EGHG)-sodium perchlorate (NaClO4) as electrolyte and separator, and Ti3C2Tx fiber as electrodes. Ti3C2Tx fiber is prepared using 130 mg mL-1 Ti3C2Tx nanosheet ink as an assembly unit in a coagulation bath of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and distilled water with 5 wt% CaCl2 by a wet spinning method. The prepared Ti3C2Tx fiber exhibits a specific capacity of 385 F cm-3 and a capacitance retention of 94 % after 10,000 cycles in 1 M NaClO4 electrolyte. The assembled PVA EGHG Ti3C2Tx FSCs deliver a specific capacitance of 41 F cm-3, a volumetric energy density of 5 mWh cm-3, and a capacitance retention of 92 % after 500 times continuous bending. Furthermore, it shows good flexibility and excellent capacitance over a wide temperature range of -40 to 40 °C and maintains its electrochemical performance under varying degrees of bending. This study provides a viable strategy for designing and assembling all-solid-state neutral symmetric fiber supercapacitors with high energy density and wide temperature range.

Abstract
Flexible supercapacitors have attracted more and more attention because of their promising applications in wearable electronics, however, it is still important to harmonize their mechanical and electrochemical properties for practical applications. In the present work, a seamless transition between polyaniline (PANI) electrode and NH4VO3_FeSO4 dual redox-mediated gel polymer electrolyte (GPE) is presented through in situ formation of gradient interface structure. Multiple physical interactions make the GPE excellent mechanical and self-healing properties. Meanwhile, double role functions of Fe2+ ions greatly relieve the traditional contradiction between mechanical and electrochemical properties of GPE. Moreover, benefiting from the structure and reversible redox reactions of VO3- and Fe2+, the integrated supercapacitor delivers an exceptional specific capacitance of 441.8 mF/cm2, a high energy density of 63.1 μWh/cm2, remarkable cyclic stability. Simultaneously, the gradient structure from PANI electrode to GPE greatly improves the electrode/electrolyte interface compatibility and ion transport, which endows the supercapacitor with stable electrochemical performance. Furthermore, the supercapacitor well-maintains the specific capacitance even at -20 °C with over 89.19 % retention after 6 cutting/healing cycles. The gradient interface structure design will promote the development of high-performance supercapacitor.

Abstract
With the rapid development of flexible energy storage and wearable strain sensing, conductive hydrogels are attracting attention as electrolyte materials for flexible strain sensors and flexible supercapacitors due to their excellent flexibility and wetting properties. In this work, antifreezing hydrogels with high stretchability, adhesion, and conductivity are designed and prepared by introducing phosphoric acid solutions into polyacrylamide and chitosan systems. The multifunctional hydrogel samples prepared by this method can be used as both quasi-solid electrolytes and wearable strain sensors. The hydrogel-based supercapacitor shows a charge/discharge efficiency of 99.67% and a capacitance retention of 98.85% after 10 000 cycles charge/discharge tests at -30 °C. The tiny characteristic heartbeat wave forms are detected by the hydrogel as a flexible strain sensor. It is foreseeable that PCP multifunctional hydrogel can be a promising flexible material for a new generation of flexible sensors and flexible energy storage devices in a certain range of temperatures.

Abstract
Artificial skin composites have attracted great interest in functional composite materials. The aim of this study was to prepare and characterize a smart artificial skin composite comprising a bionic microvascular with both self-nourishing and self-healing functions. A poly(vinyl alcohol)–glycerol–gelatin double network organic hydrogel was used as the artificial skin matrix. The hydrogel had high mechanical strength because of the strong hydrogen bond formed between the PVA and glycerol (GL). The gelatin (GEL) increased the toughness and elasticity of the hydrogel to ensure the strength of the artificial skin and fit of the interface with the body. The bionic polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) microvascular had excellent thermal stability and mechanical property in artificial skin. Results indicated that self-nourishing was successfully realized by liquid release through the pore structures of the bionic microvascular. The bionic microvascular healed microcracks in the artificial skin when damage occurred, based on a self-healing test.

Abstract
Conductive hydrogels (CHs) are ideal electrolyte materials for the preparation of flexible supercapacitors (FSCs) due to their excellent electrochemical properties, mechanical properties, and deformation restorability. However, most of the reported CHs are prepared by the chemical crosslinking of synthetic polymers and thus usually display the disadvantages of poor self-healing abilities and nonadaptability at environmental temperatures, which greatly limits their application. To overcome these problems, in the present work, we constructed a sodium alginate-borax/gelatin double-network conductive hydrogel (CH) by a dynamic crosslinking between sodium alginate (SA) and borax via borate bonds and hydrogen bonding between amino acids in gelatin and SA chains. The CH displays an excellent elongation of 305.7% and fast self-healing behavior in 60 s. Furthermore, a phase-change material (PCM), Na2SO4·10H2O, was introduced into the CH, which, combined with the nucleation effect of borax, improved the ionic conductivity and temperature adaptability of the CH. The flexible supercapacitor (FSC) assembled with the obtained CH as the electrolyte exhibits a high specific capacitance of 185.3 F·g-1 at a current density of 0.25 A·g-1 and good stability with 84% capacitance retention after 10 000 cycles and excellent temperature tolerance with a resistance variation of 2.11 Ω in the temperature range of -20-60 °C. This green CH shows great application potential as an electrolyte for FSCs, and the preparation method can be potentially expanded to the fabrication of self-repairing FSCs with good temperature adaptabilities.

Abstract
Herein, we design a dynamic redox system of using high contents of lignosulfonate (LS) and Al3+ to prepare poly acrylic acid (PAA) (LS-g-PAA-Al) hydrogels. The presence of high LS and Al3+ contents, in combination with the effective Al3+ complexes formed, renders the resultant hydrogel with some unique attributes, including excellent ionic conductivity (as high as 7.38 S·m-1) and antibacterial activity; furthermore, a very fast gelation (in 1 min) was obtained. As a flexible strain sensor, the LS-g-PAA-Al hydrogel with high conductivity demonstrates superior sensitivity in human movement detection. In addition, the rich anionic hydrophilic groups, such as sulfonic groups, phenolic hydroxyl groups, in the hydrogels impart the resultant hydrogels with excellent adsorption capacity for cationic dyes: when using Rhodamine B (RB) as a model cationic dye, the adsorption capacity of the resultant hydrogel reaches 334.64 mg·g-1; as a moist-induced power generator, it generates maximum 150.5 mV open circuit voltage with moist air flow. When the hydrogel electrolyte is assembled into a supercapacitor assembly, it shows high specific capacitance of 245.4 F·g-1, with the maximum energy density of 21.8 Wh·kg-1, power density of 2.37 kW·kg-1, and capacitance retention of 95.1% after 5000 consecutive charge-discharge cycles.

Abstract
Preparation of natural polymer-based highly conductive hydrogels with tunable mechanical properties for applications in flexible electronics is still challenging. Herein, we report a facile method to prepare lignin-based Fe3+-rich, high-conductivity hydrogels via the following two-step process: (1) lignin hydrogels are prepared by cross-linking sulfonated lignin with poly(ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether (PEGDGE) and (2) Fe3+ ions are impregnated into the lignin hydrogel by simply soaking in FeCl3. Benefiting from Fe3+ ion complexation with catechol groups and other functional groups in lignin, the resultant hydrogels exhibit unique properties, such as high conductivity (as high as 6.69 S·m-1) and excellent mechanical and hydrophobic properties. As a strain sensor, the as-prepared lignin hydrogel shows high sensitivity when detecting various human motions. With the flow of moist air, the Fe3+-rich lignin hydrogel generates an output voltage of 162.8 mV. The assembled supercapacitor of the hydrogel electrolyte demonstrates a high specific capacitance of 301.8 F·g-1, with a maximum energy density of 26.73 Wh·kg-1, a power density of 2.38 kW·kg-1, and a capacitance retention of 94.1% after 10 000 consecutive charge-discharge cycles. These results support the conclusion that lignin-based Fe3+-rich, high-conductivity hydrogels have promising applications in different fields, including sensors and supercapacitors, rendering a new platform for the value-added utilization of lignin.

Transformation of Oil Palm Waste-Derived Cellulose into Solid Polymer Electrolytes: Investigating the Crucial Role of Plasticizers. Polymers (Basel) 2021; 13:polym13213685. [PMID: 34771242 PMCID: PMC8588062 DOI: 10.3390/polym13213685] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2021] [Revised: 10/17/2021] [Accepted: 10/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
This study explores the possibility of transforming lignocellulose-rich agricultural waste materials into value-added products. Cellulose was extracted from an empty fruit bunch of oil palm and further modified into carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), a water-soluble cellulose derivative. The CMC was then employed as the polymeric content in fabrication of solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) films incorporated with lithium iodide. To enhance the ionic conductivity of the solid polymer electrolytes, the compositions were optimized with different amounts of glycerol as a plasticizing agent. The chemical and physical effects of plasticizer content on the film composition were studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. FTIR and XRD analysis confirmed the interaction plasticizer with the polymer matrix and the amorphous nature of fabricated SPEs. The highest ionic conductivity of 6.26 × 10-2 S/cm was obtained with the addition of 25 wt % of glycerol. By fabricating solid polymer electrolytes from oil palm waste-derived cellulose, the sustainability of the materials can be retained while reducing the dependence on fossil fuel-derived materials in electrochemical devices.

Abstract
Lignin, an abundant natural polymer but presently under-utilized, has received much attention for its green/sustainable advantages. Herein, we report a facile method to fabricate lignosulfonate (LS) ionic hydrogels by simple crosslinking with poly (ethylene glycol) diglycidyl ether (PEGDGE). The as-obtained LS-PEGDGE hydrogels were comprehensively characterized by mechanical measurements, FT-IR, and SEM. The rich sulfonic and phenolic hydroxyl groups in LS hydrogels play key roles in imparting multifunctional smart properties, such as adhesiveness, conducting, sensing and dye adsorption, as well as superconductive behavior when increasing the moisture content. The hydrogels have a high adsorption capacity for cationic dyes, using methylene blue as a model, reaching 211 mg·g-1. As a moist-induced power generator, the maximum output voltage is 181 mV. The LS-PEGDGE hydrogel-based flexible strain sensors exhibit high sensitivity when detecting human movements. As the hydrogel electrolyte, the assembled supercapacitor shows high specific capacitance of 236.9 F·g-1, with the maximum energy density of 20.61 Wh·kg-1, power density of 2306.4 W·kg-1, and capacitance retention of 92.9% after 10,000 consecutive charge-discharge cycles. Therefore, this multifunctional LS hydrogels may have promising applications in various fields, providing a new platform for the value-added utilization of lignin from industrial waste.

Abstract
Aqueous sulfuric acid solution is a versatile liquid electrolyte for electrochemical applications and gelation of it has the advantages of easy shaping and reduced leaking. Herein, aqueous sulfuric acid solutions with concentrations of 1-4 mol L-1 are fabricated into gel membranes by in situ polymerization of acrylamide as a monomer and divilynbenzene as a crosslinker for fuel cell applications. The gel membrane with an acid concentration of 3.5 mol L-1 exhibited the maximum proton conductivity of 184 mS cm-1 at 30 °C. Tensile fracture strength of the gel membrane reached 53 kPa with a tensile strain of 14. Thermogravimetric analysis reveals that the gel membranes are thermally stable at temperatures up to 231 °C. The gel membranes are successfully assembled into fuel cells and a peak power density of 74 mW cm-2 is achieved. The fuel cell maintains steady operation over 200 h. In situ gelation of aqueous sulfuric acid solution offers an efficient strategy to prepare gel electrolytes for electrochemical devices.

Abstract
Maintaining enough flexibility and satisfied electrochemical performance simultaneously at subzero temperatures is still challengeable for flexible solid supercapacitors. In the present work, by adopting an organohydrogel electrolyte and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) films with microvoids serving as electrodes, a supercapacitor, which could be steadily operated down to -60 °C, has been obtained and has shown excellent low-temperature tolerance. The organohydrogel electrolyte consists of LiCl in glycerol/water solution containing polyvinyl alcohol, exhibiting excellent flexibility at -60 °C. Due to the introduction of micropores between rGO sheets, the porous membrane can be folded even in liquid nitrogen. Combining the rGO electrodes with the organohydrogel electrolyte, the maximum voltage of the present supercapacitor could be extended to 2.0 V, and a capacitance of 7.73 F·g-1 at -60 °C could be achieved. After 5000 charge/discharge cycles at -20 °C, the capacitance retention rate is 87.5%. The excellent flexibility and low-temperature resistance of the current supercapacitor pave a novel way for developing compression-resistant electronic samples compatible with a low-temperature environment.

Abstract
Facile preparation of organohydrogel electrolyte integrated with good anti-freezing property, toughness, transparency, conductivity and thermoplasticity is important and still remains challenging. Novel conductive and tough poly(vinyl alcohol)/sodium alginate/glycerol (PVA/SA/Gly) composite organohydrogel electrolytes were obtained by a simple method in this paper. PVA and SA was firstly dissolved in a mixed solution of distilled water and glycerol and the PVA/SA/Gly organohydrogel was obtained by the freezing-thawing process, then PVA/SA/Gly organohydrogel was immersed into the saturated NaCl aqueous solution. During the soaking process NaCl would enter into the PVA/SA/Gly organohydrogel to increase the gel strength and conductivity. The PVA/SA/Gly organohydrogel electrolytes performed the high toughness with the tensile strength and elongation at break of 1.43 MPa and 558%, respectively. Moreover, the PVA/SA/Gly organohydrogel electrolytes behaved high transparency, anti-freezing property, conductivity and thermoplasticity due to the incorporation of glycerol. This paper provides a new preparation method for the high-performance organohydrogel electrolyte.
