Abstract
In this study, we synthesized and employed an ionic gel-functionalized silica stationary phase for high-performance liquid chromatography. The successful fabrication of the stationary phase was confirmed through attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), zeta-potential measurements, and elemental analysis (EA). Comparative performance evaluation against a commercial column demonstrated the prepared column's effectiveness in the mixed mode of reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC), hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC), and ion chromatography (IC). Moreover, the stationary phase exhibited exceptional retention repeatability in per aqueous liquid chromatography, showcasing its potential as an environmentally friendly analytical method. Mechanistic investigations unveiled multiple solute-stationary phase interactions, including π-π interactions, hydrogen bonding, and ion exchange. Finally, we applied the developed stationary phase for the precise detection of preservatives in carbonated beverages and jelly, achieving high levels of accuracy and recovery rates.

Abstract
Low-hysteresis merits can help polymeric gel materials survive from consecutive loading cycles and promote life span in many burgeoning areas. However, it is a big challenge to design low-hysteresis and tough polymeric gel materials, especially for ionogels. This can be attributed to the fact that higher viscosities of ionic liquids (ILs) would increase chain friction of polymeric gels and eventually dissipate large amounts of energy under deformation. Herein, a chemical design of ionogels is proposed to achieve low-hysteresis characteristics in both mechanical and electric aspects via hierarchical aggregates formed by supramolecular self-assembly of quadruple H-bonds in a soft IL-rich polymeric matrix. These self-assembled nanoaggregates not only can greatly reinforce the polymeric matrix and enhance resilience, but also exhibit low-energy-dissipating features under stress conditions, simultaneously benefiting for low-hysteresis properties. These aggregates can also promote toughness and subsequent anti-fatigue properties in response to external cyclic mechanical stimuli. More importantly, these ionogels are presented as a model system to elucidate the underlying mechanism of the low hysteresis and fatigue resistance. Based on these findings, it is further demonstrated that the supramolecular low-hysteresis strategy is universal.

Abstract
Energy and environmental issues have increasingly garnered significant attention for sustainable development. Flexible and shape-stable phase change materials display great potential in regulation of environmental temperature for energy saving and human comfort. Here, inspired by the water absorption behavior of salt-tolerant animals and plants in salinity environment and the Hofmeister theory, highly stable phase change salogels (PCSGs) are fabricated through in situ polymerization of hydrophilic monomers in molten salt hydrates, which can serve multiple functions including thermal management patches, smart windows, and ice blocking coatings. The gelation principles of the polymer in high ion concentration solution are explored through the density functional theory simulation and verified the feasibility of four types of salt hydrates. The high concentration chaotropic ions strongly interacted with polymer chains and promoted the gelation at low polymer concentrations which derive highly-stable and ultra-moisturizing PCSGs with high latent heat (> 200 J g-1). The synergistic adhesion and transparency switching abilities accompanied with phase transition enable their smart thermal management. The study resolves the melting leakage and thermal cycling stability of salt hydrates, and open an avenue to fabricate flexible PCM of low cost, high latent heat, and long-term durability for energy-saving, ice-blocking, and thermal management.

Abstract
The flexible electronic sensor is a critical component of wearable devices, generally requiring high stretchability, excellent transmittance, conductivity, self-healing capability, and strong adhesion. However, designing ion-conducting elastomers meeting all these requirements simultaneously remains a challenge. In this study, a novel approach is presented to fabricate highly stretchable, transparent, and self-healing ion-conducting elastomers, which are synthesized via photo-polymerization of two polymerizable deep eutectic solvents (PDESs) monomers, i.e., methacrylic acid (MAA)/choline chloride (ChCl) and itaconic acid (IA)/ChCl. The as-prepared ion-conducting elastomers possess outstanding properties, including high transparency, conductivity, and the capability to adhere to various substrates. The elastomers also demonstrate ultra-stretchability (up to 3900%) owing to a combination of covalent cross-linking and noncovalent cross-linking. In addition, the elastomers can recover up to 3250% strain and over 94.5% of their original conductivity after self-healing at room temperature for 5 min, indicating remarkable mechanical and conductive self-healing abilities. When utilized as strain sensors to monitor real-time motion of human fingers, wrist, elbow, and knee joints, the elastomers exhibit stable and strong repetitive electrical signals, demonstrating excellent sensing performance for large-scale movements of the human body. It is anticipated that these ion-conducting elastomers will find promising applications in flexible and wearable electronics.

Abstract
We report for the first time a reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerisation-induced self-assembly (RAFT-PISA) formulation in ionic liquid (IL) that yields worm gels. A series of poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-b-poly(benzyl methacrylate) (PHEMA-b-PBzMA) block copolymer nanoparticles were synthesised via RAFT dispersion polymerisation of benzyl methacrylate in the hydrophilic IL 1-ethyl-3-methyl imidazolium dicyanamide, [EMIM][DCA]. This RAFT-PISA formulation can be controlled to afford spherical, worm-like and vesicular nano-objects, with free-standing gels being obtained over a broad range of PBzMA core-forming degrees of polymerisation (DPs). High monomer conversions (≥96%) were obtained within 2 hours for all PISA syntheses as determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy, and good control over molar mass was confirmed by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Nanoparticle morphologies were identified using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and further detailed characterisation was conducted to monitor rheological, electrochemical and thermal characteristics of the nanoparticle dispersions to assess their potential in future electronic applications. Most importantly, this new PISA formulation in IL facilitates the in situ formation of worm ionogel electrolyte materials at copolymer concentrations >4% w/w via efficient and convenient synthesis routes without the need for organic co-solvents or post-polymerisation processing/purification. Moreover, we demonstrate that the worm ionogels developed in this work exhibit comparable electrochemical properties and thermal stability to that of the IL alone, showcasing their potential as gel electrolytes.

Abstract
The photocuring technology based on thiol-ene click reaction can be easily applied for copolymerizing or crosslinking the acrylate monomers for ionogels. However, there is still a problem: when the acrylate monomers contain the popular spiropyran as the stimuli-responsive group, it should be concerned about the participation of the active CC bond from the ring-opened spiropyran during a thiol-ene reaction, which may in turn affect the stimuli-responsiveness of the spiropyran. Up to now, the structure and properties of spiropyran-containing ionogels in this case have still not been well investigated. Therefore, in this work we carefully study a new spiropyran-containing polyurethane ionogel by crosslinking an acrylate-terminated, spiropyran-containing polyurethane prepolymer and a polythiol in ionic liquid through thiol-ene chemistry. It is found for the first time that, during constructing an ionogel, the coexistence of a reversible thiol-ene reaction between the CC bond from the ring-opened spiropyran and the thiol group can bring about a different reverse photochromic behavior. The proposed mechanism of the abnormal photochromism is analyzed. In addition, it is also observed that the thiol-ene chemistry can incorporate photomechanical and photoconductive properties into the new spiropyran-containing ionogel.

Abstract
Ionic liquids are promising media for self-assembling block copolymers in applications such as energy storage. A robust design of block copolymer formulations in ionic liquids requires fundamental knowledge of their self-organization at the nanoscale. To this end, here, we focus on modeling two-component systems comprising a Poly(ethylene oxide)-poly (propylene oxide)-Poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) block copolymer (Pluronic P105: EO37PO58EO37) and room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs): protic ethylammonium nitrate (EAN), aprotic ionic liquids (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (BMIMPF6), or 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIMBF4). Rich structural polymorphism was exhibited, including phases of micellar (sphere) cubic, hexagonal (cylinder), bicontinuous cubic, and lamellar (bilayer) lyotropic liquid crystalline (LLC) ordered structures in addition to solution regions. The characteristic scales of the structural lengths were obtained using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) data analysis. On the basis of phase behavior and structure, the effects of the ionic liquid solvent on block copolymer organization were assessed and contrasted to those of molecular solvents, such as water and formamide.

Abstract
Thermal management, including heating and cooling, plays an important role in human productive activities and daily life. Nevertheless, in the actual environment, almost all the ambient scenarios come with the challenge that the objects are located in a quite dynamic and variable environment, which includes fluctuations in aspects such as space, time, sunlight, season, and temperature. It is imperative to develop low-energy or even zero-energy thermal-management technologies with renewable and clean energy. In this review, we summarised the latest technological advances and the prospects in this burgeoning field. First, we present the fundamental principles of the daytime passive radiative cooling (PDRC) thermal management device. Next, In the domain of dual-mode systems, they are classified into various types based on the diverse mechanisms of transitioning between cooling and heating states, including electrical responsive, mechanical responsive, temperature responsive, and solution responsive. Furthermore, we conducted an in-depth analysis of the principles and design methodologies associated with these categories, followed by a comparative assessment of their performance in radiative cooling and solar heating applications. Finally, this review presents the challenges and opportunities of dynamic dual mode thermal management, while also identifying future directions.

Abstract
Ion gels are an emerging class of polymer gels in which a three-dimensional polymer network swells with an ionic liquid. Ion gels have drawn considerable attention in various fields such as energy and biotechnology owing to their excellent properties including nonvolatility, nonflammability, high ionic conductivity, and high thermal and electrochemical stability. Since the first report on ion gels (published ∼30 years ago), diverse functional ion gels exhibiting impressive physicochemical properties have been reported. In this review, recent developments in functional ion gels that can modulate their physical properties in response to environmental conditions are outlined. Stimuli-responsive ion gels that can adaptively undergo phase transitions in response to thermal and light stimuli are initially discussed, followed by an evaluation of diverse self-healing ion gels that can spontaneously mend mechanical damage through judiciously designed ion-gel networks.

Abstract
Phosphorous is an essential element for the life of organisms, and phosphorus-based compounds have many uses in industry, such as flame retardancy reagents, ingredients in fertilizers, pyrotechnics, etc. Ionic liquids are salts with melting points lower than the boiling point of water. The term "polymerized ionic liquids" (PILs) refers to a class of polyelectrolytes that contain an ionic liquid (IL) species in each monomer repeating unit and are connected by a polymeric backbone to form macromolecular structures. PILs provide a new class of polymeric materials by combining some of the distinctive qualities of ILs in the polymer chain. Ionic liquids have been identified as attractive prospects for a variety of applications due to the high stability (thermal, chemical, and electrochemical) and high mobility of their ions, but their practical applicability is constrained because they lack the benefits of both liquids and solids, suffering from both leakage issues and excessive viscosity. PILs are garnering for developing non-volatile and non-flammable solid electrolytes. In this paper, we provide a brief review of phosphonium-based PILs, including their synthesis route, properties, advantages and drawbacks, and the comparison between nitrogen-based and phosphonium-based PILs. As phosphonium PILs can be used as polymer electrolytes in lithium-ion battery (LIB) applications, the conductivity and the thermo-mechanical properties are the most important features for this polymer electrolyte system. The chemical structure of phosphonium-based PILs that was reported in previous literature has been reviewed and summarized in this article. Generally, the phosphonium PILs that have more flexible backbones exhibit better conductivity values compared to the PILs that consist of a rigid backbone. At the end of this section, future directions for research regarding PILs are discussed, including the use of recyclable phosphorus from waste.

Abstract
Ionic liquid (IL)-based gels (ionogels) have received considerable attention due to their unique advantages in ionic conductivity and their biphasic liquid-solid phase property. In ionogels, the negligibly volatile ionic liquid is retained in the interconnected 3D pore structure. On the basis of these physical features as well as the chemical properties of well-chosen ILs, there is emerging interest in the anti-bacterial and biocompatibility aspects. In this review, the recent achievements of ionogels for biomedical applications are summarized and discussed. Following a brief introduction of the various types of ILs and their key physicochemical and biological properties, the design strategies and fabrication methods of ionogels are presented by means of different confining networks. These sophisticated ionogels with diverse functions, aimed at biomedical applications, are further classified into several active domains, including wearable strain sensors, therapeutic delivery systems, wound healing and biochemical detections. Finally, the challenges and possible strategies for the design of future ionogels by integrating materials science with a biological interface are proposed.

Abstract
Ionogels are gels containing ions, often an ionic liquid (IL), and a gelling agent. They are promising candidates for applications including batteries, photovoltaics or fuel cells due to their chemical stability and high ionic conductivity. In this work we report on a thermo-irreversible ionic gel prepared from a mixture of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium ([BMIM]) dicyanamide ([DCA]), water and gelatin, which combines the advantages of an ionic liquid with the low cost of gelatin. We use (i) dielectric spectroscopy to monitor the ion transport, (ii) dynamic light scattering techniques to access the reorientational motions of the ions, as well as fluctuations of the gel matrix, and (iii) rheology to determine the shear response from above room temperature down to the glass transition. In this way, we are able to connect the microscopic ion dynamics with the meso- and macroscopic behavior of the gelatin matrix. We show, by comparing our results to those for a IL-water mixture from a previous study, that although some weak additional slow relaxation modes are present in the gel, the overall ion dynamics is hardly changed by the presence of gelatin. The macroscopic mechanical response, as probed by rheology, is however dominated by the gel matrix. This behaviour can be highly useful e.g. in battery gel electrolytes which prevent electrolyte leakage and combine mechanical rigidity and flexibility.

Abstract
Polymeric ionogels are polymer networks swollen with ionic liquids (i.e., salts with low melting points). Ionogels are interesting due to their unique features such as nonvolatility, high thermal and electrochemical stability, excellent ionic conductivity, and nonflammability. These properties enable applications such as unconventional electronics, energy storage devices (i.e., batteries and supercapacitors), sensors and actuators. However, the poor mechanical performance of ionogels (e.g., fracture strength < 1 MPa, modulus < 0.1 MPa, and toughness < 1000 J m-2) have limited their use, thus motivating the need for tough ionogels. This Perspective summarizes recent advances toward tough ionogels by highlighting synthetic methods and toughening mechanisms. Opportunities and promising applications of tough ionogels are also discussed.

Abstract
Printed carbon nanotube thin-film transistors (CNT-TFTs) are candidates for flexible electronics with printability on a wide range of substrates. Among the layers comprising a CNT-TFT, the gate dielectric has proven most difficult to additively print owing to challenges in film uniformity, thickness, and post-processing requirements. Printed ionic dielectrics show promise for addressing these issues and yielding devices that operate at low voltages thanks to their high-capacitance electric double layers. However, the printing of ionic dielectrics in their various compositions is not well understood, nor is the impact of certain stresses on these materials. In this work, we studied three compositionally distinct ionic dielectrics in fully printed CNT-TFTs: the polar-fluorinated polymer elastomer PVDF-HFP; an ion gel consisting of triblock polymer PS-PMMA-PS and ionic liquid EMIM-TFSI; and crystalline nanocellulose (CNC) with a salt concentration of 0.05%. Although ion gel has been thoroughly studied, e-PVDF-HFP and CNC printing are relatively new and this study provides insights into their ink formulation, print processing, and performance as gate dielectrics. Using a consistent aerosol jet printing approach, each ionic dielectric was printed into similar CNT-TFTs, allowing for direct comparison through extensive characterization, including mechanical and electrical stress tests. The ionic dielectrics were found to have distinct operational dependencies based on their compositional and ionic attributes. Overall, the results reveal a number of trade-offs that must be managed when selecting a printable ionic dielectric, with CNC showing the strongest performance for low-voltage operation but the ion gel and elastomer exhibiting better stability under bias and mechanical stresses.

Abstract
A new class of ion gels, termed ultrahigh molecular weight (UHMW) gels, formed by physical entanglement of ultrahigh molecular weight polymers in ionic liquids, are synthesised using facile one step radical polymerisation with significantly low initiator conditions, and exhibit superior mechanical characteristics such as stretchability, recyclability, and room temperature self-healing ability. In this study, UHMW gels are synthesised using various combinations of monomer and IL structures, and the effect of their chemical structures on the physicochemical properties of UHMW gels are thoroughly investigated. UHMW polymers are prepared in situ for all combinations of ILs and monomers used in this study, indicating the wide applicability of this fabrication strategy. The structure-property relationships between chemical structures and mechanical properties of UHMW gels are investigated in detail. Furthermore, the differences in self-healing efficiency of UHMW gels depending on the chemical structure is discussed in terms of individual polymer conformation and polymer-polymer interaction based on molecular dynamics simulations.

Abstract
Ionogel-based flexible sensors are widely applied in wearable biomedical devices and soft robots. However, the abandoned ionic sensors are rapidly turning into e-waste. Here, we harness the porosity and the coordination of metal sites of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to develop physically crosslinked ionogels, which are composed of polymer chains that coordinate with the MOF metal sites. The covalent crosslinking of the host material transformed into reversible bond interactions that significantly enhance the mechanical properties of the MOF-ionogels. The obtained ionogels can endure an 11 000% stretch and exhibit Young's modulus and toughness of 58 MPa and 25 MJ m-3, respectively. In addition, the fracture energy is as high as 125 kJ m-2, outperforming most reported ionogels. Furthermore, the UiO-66-ionogels are fully recyclable and both the mechanical and electrical properties can be restored. The results of this work provide a new vision for the development of future "green" sensors.

Abstract
Current interest toward ionic liquids (ILs) stems from some of their novel characteristics, like low vapor pressure, thermal stability, and nonflammability, integrated through high ionic conductivity and broad range of electrochemical strength. Nowadays, ionic liquids represent a new category of chemical-based compounds for developing superior and multifunctional substances with potential in several fields. ILs can be used in solvents such as salt electrolyte and additional materials. By adding functional physiochemical characteristics, a variety of IL-based electrolytes can also be used for energy storage purposes. It is hoped that the present review will supply guidance for future research focused on IL-based polymer nanocomposites electrolytes for sensors, high performance, biomedicine, and environmental applications. Additionally, a comprehensive overview about the polymer-based composites' ILs components, including a classification of the types of polymer matrix available is provided in this review. More focus is placed upon ILs-based polymeric nanocomposites used in multiple applications such as electrochemical biosensors, energy-related materials, biomedicine, actuators, environmental, and the aviation and aerospace industries. At last, existing challenges and prospects in this field are discussed and concluding remarks are provided.

Abstract

With the rapid development of optoelectronic fields,
electrochromic
(EC) materials and devices have received remarkable attention and
have shown attractive potential for use in emerging wearable and portable
electronics, electronic papers/billboards, see-through displays, and
other new-generation displays, due to the advantages of low power
consumption, easy viewing, flexibility, stretchability, etc. Despite
continuous progress in related fields, determining how to make electrochromics
truly meet the requirements of mature displays (e.g., ideal overall
performance) has been a long-term problem. Therefore, the commercialization
of relevant high-quality products is still in its infancy. In this
review, we will focus on the progress in emerging EC materials and
devices for potential displays, including two mainstream EC display
prototypes (segmented displays and pixel displays) and their commercial
applications. Among these topics, the related materials/devices, EC
performance, construction approaches, and processing techniques are
comprehensively disscussed and reviewed. We also outline the current
barriers with possible solutions and discuss the future of this field.

Abstract
Constructing crosslinked polymer networks via reversible interactions is a promising approach to recover the mechanical strength of damaged gels. In addition, by designing effective reversible crosslinks, the mechanical strength of the gel can be enhanced through energy dissipation based on the destruction of the crosslinks by an applied force. In this study, we introduced zeolitic imidazole framework-8 nanoparticles (ZIF-8 NPs), which acted as multifunctional crosslinkers, to provide multipoint coordination bonding with a poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide)-based polymer network in a gel containing an ionic liquid. The mechanical strength of the gel increased with an increase in the content of ZIF-8 NPs up to 6 wt%. It was confirmed that the energy loaded onto the gel was dissipated through the desorption of the polymer network from the surface of the ZIF-8 NPs. Owing to the reversible destruction and reconstruction of the coordinative crosslinking between the polymer network and ZIF-8 NPs, the mechanical strength of the damaged gel was almost fully recovered through annealing.

Abstract
Ionogels are compelling materials for technological devices due to their excellent ionic conductivity, thermal and electrochemical stability, and non-volatility. However, most existing ionogels suffer from low strength and toughness. Here, we report a simple one-step method to achieve ultra-tough and stretchable ionogels by randomly copolymerizing two common monomers with distinct solubility of the corresponding polymers in an ionic liquid. Copolymerization of acrylamide and acrylic acid in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate results in a macroscopically homogeneous covalent network with in situ phase separation: a polymer-rich phase with hydrogen bonds that dissipate energy and toughen the ionogel; and an elastic solvent-rich phase that enables for large strain. These ionogels have high fracture strength (12.6 MPa), fracture energy (~24 kJ m-2) and Young's modulus (46.5 MPa), while being highly stretchable (~600% strain) and having self-healing and shape-memory properties. This concept can be applied to other monomers and ionic liquids, offering a promising way to tune ionogel microstructure and properties in situ during one-step polymerization.

Abstract
In the past two decades, ionic liquids (ILs) have blossomed as versatile task-specific materials with a unique combination of properties, which can be beneficial for a plethora of different applications. The additional need of incorporating ILs into solid devices led to the development of a new class of ionic soft-solid materials, named here iongels. Nowadays, iongels cover a wide range of materials mostly composed of an IL component immobilized within different matrices such as polymers, inorganic networks, biopolymers or inorganic nanoparticles. This review aims at presenting an integrated perspective on the recent progress and advances in this emerging type of material. We provide an analysis of the main families of iongels and highlight the emerging types of these ionic soft materials offering additional properties, such as thermoresponsiveness, self-healing, mixed ionic/electronic properties, and (photo)luminescence, among others. Next, recent trends in additive manufacturing (3D printing) of iongels are presented. Finally, their new applications in the areas of energy, gas separation and (bio)electronics are detailed and discussed in terms of performance, underpinning it to the structural features and processing of iongel materials.

Abstract
This is the first report on low-frequency spectra of ionic liquid (IL)/polymer mixtures using femtosecond Raman-induced Kerr effect spectroscopy. We studied mixtures of 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([MOIm][BF4]) and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) with Mn = 400 (PEG400) at various concentrations. To elucidate the unique features of the IL/polymer mixture system, mixtures of PEG400 with a molecular liquid, 1-octhylimidazole (OIm), which is a neutral analog of the cation, were also studied. In addition, mixtures of [MOIm][BF4] with ethylene glycol (EG) and poly(ethylene glycol) with Mn = 4000 (PEG4000) were also investigated. The first moments of broad low-frequency spectra, mainly due to intermolecular vibrations for the [MOIm][BF4]/PEG400 and OIm/PEG400, increased slightly with increasing concentration of PEG400, indicating that microscopic intermolecular interactions, in general, are slightly enhanced. We also compared the [MOIm][BF4] mixtures with EG, PEG400, and PEG4000 at concentrations of 5 and 10 wt % PEG or EG. The low-frequency spectra of samples with the same concentrations were quite similar, but a comparison of the normalized spectra showed that the spectral intensity in the low-frequency region below ∼50 cm-1 of the [MOIm][BF4] mixtures with PEG400 and PEG4000 is somewhat lower than that of the [MOIm][BF4] mixtures with EG. Although the effect of the polymer is small compared to other polymer solution systems, this feature is attributed to a suppression of translational motion in the mixtures of [MOIm][BF4] with PEG compared to the mixtures of [MOIm][BF4] with EG due to the greater mass of PEG than EG. Density, surface tension, viscosity, and electrical conductivity were also estimated. From Walden plots, it was found that the [MOIm][BF4]/PEG4000 system showed more ideal electrical conductive behavior than the [MOIm][BF4]/PEG400 and [MOIm][BF4]/EG systems.

Abstract
Flexible conducting films in the forms of bendability or stretchability are developed as a key component to enable soft electronics. With the requirements of miniaturization and portability of modern electronics, conducting film that can endure in-plane shrinkage is urgently needed but still remains challenging. Here, a new type of conducting film achieving reversible in-plane folding-unfolding function with large deformation by infusing conductive liquids into hierarchically structured polymer films consisting of both nanostructured polymer nanofibers and microstructured frames is reported. Nanostructured polymer nanofibers that can be completely wetted by the conductive liquids provide capillary forces to gain reversible in-plane folding-unfolding property, while the microstructured frames greatly enhance the extent during folding-unfolding process. Conductivity of the produced films can be significantly improved by rationally tuning the composition of infused conductive liquids, which always keeps high values during the folding-unfolding deformation. It is believed that this work may serve as the basis for robust fabrication of flexible conducting films with reversible in-plane folding-unfolding function, and can also put one-step forward of modern soft electronics.

Abstract
With the ever-growing demands for flexible smart interactive electronics, it remains highly desirable yet challenging to design and fabricate interactive ionic skin with multiple signal synergistic outputs. Herein, high-performance photonic ionogels (PIGs) with excellent stability and synergy sensitivity are designed by locking a non-volatile and non-hygroscopic ionic liquid (IL), that is, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([EMIm][TFSI]), into photonic elastomers based on polymer networks of poly(ethylene glycol) phenyl ether acrylate (PEGPEA). Through manipulating the degree of crosslinking, PIGs exhibit high sensitivity that can output distinct and intuitive color change in visual with the mechanochromic sensitivity of ≈1.76 nm per percent strain and clear electrical signal with the gauge factor of 1, in response to a tiny stretch of millimeter scale. Thanks to the stable photonic elastomers and IL employed, the PIGs developed in this study exhibit good performance under harsh and complex environmental conditions, including high/low temperature (from -35 °C to 100 °C), dry/wet air, and high vacuum. This study provides a novel strategy for developing integrated, stable, and multifunctional photonic ionogels for ionic skin sensors and flexible interactive devices with synergistically optical and electrical output.

Abstract
A critical challenge for next-generation lithium-based batteries lies in development of electrolytes that enable thermal safety along with the use of high-energy-density electrodes. We describe molecular ionic composite electrolytes based on an aligned liquid crystalline polymer combined with ionic liquids and concentrated Li salt. This high strength (200 MPa) and non-flammable solid electrolyte possesses outstanding Li+ conductivity (1 mS cm-1 at 25 °C) and electrochemical stability (5.6 V versus Li|Li+) while suppressing dendrite growth and exhibiting low interfacial resistance (32 Ω cm2) and overpotentials (≤120 mV at 1 mA cm-2) during Li symmetric cell cycling. A heterogeneous salt doping process modifies a locally ordered polymer-ion assembly to incorporate an inter-grain network filled with defective LiFSI and LiBF4 nanocrystals, strongly enhancing Li+ conduction. This modular material fabrication platform shows promise for safe and high-energy-density energy storage and conversion applications, incorporating the fast transport of ceramic-like conductors with the superior flexibility of polymer electrolytes.

Unusual Lower Critical Solution Temperature Phase Behavior of Poly(benzyl methacrylate) in a Pyrrolidinium-Based Ionic Liquid. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26164850. [PMID: 34443438 PMCID: PMC8399651 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26164850] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2021] [Revised: 08/04/2021] [Accepted: 08/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Polymer/ionic liquid systems are being increasingly explored, yet those exhibiting lower critical solution temperature (LCST) phase behavior remain poorly understood. Poly(benzyl methacrylate) in certain ionic liquids constitute unusual LCST systems, in that the second virial coefficient (A2) in dilute solutions has recently been shown to be positive, indicative of good solvent behavior, even above phase separation temperatures, where A2 < 0 is expected. In this work, we describe the LCST phase behavior of poly(benzyl methacrylate) in 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide for three different molecular weights (32, 63, and 76 kg/mol) in concentrated solutions (5–40% by weight). Turbidimetry measurements reveal a strong concentration dependence to the phase boundaries, yet the molecular weight is shown to have no influence. The critical compositions of these systems are not accessed, and must therefore lie above 40 wt% polymer, far from the values (ca. 10%) anticipated by Flory-Huggins theory. The proximity of the experimental cloud point to the coexistence curve (binodal) and the thermo-reversibility of the phase transitions, are also confirmed at various heating and cooling rates.

Abstract
The wide applications of lithium metal batteries have encountered a severe conductivity issue when operating in cold weather. Here we report a freeze-resistant lithium metal battery, which displays outstanding rate performance, negligible polarization deterioration, and a good capacity retention of 94.25% after 700-cycles of use at -30 °C, the lowest temperature ever reported for gel electrolyte-based lithium metal batteries. Remarkably, the lithium metal batteries are even workable at temperatures down to -60 °C. The key point of the innovative design is the utilization of a newly created anti-freezing ionogel as an electrolyte, which is produced by gelation of an electrochemically inert ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoro-borate ([BMIM]BF4), via dynamic condensation of a specially designed benzaldehyde-terminated polyethylene glycol (PEG-CHOs) with the tetra-hydrazide derivative of p-tert-butyl-calix[4]arene (CTH). The as-prepared ionogel electrolyte demonstrates a high ionic conductivity (0.43 mS cm-1), a broad stability window (2.4-4.3 V vs. Li+/Li), and high flexibility at -30 °C. The outstanding property of the ionogel electrolyte is ascribed to its unique gel network structure as it enables enrichment of Li+ and enhances its efficient transportation. Further tests demonstrate that the ionogel electrolyte could be also used for the assembly of flexible lithium metal batteries.

Abstract
Mechanically robust, thermoresponsive, ion-conducting nanocomposite films are prepared from poly(2-phenylethyl methacrylate)-grafted cellulose nanocrystals (MxG-CNC-g-PPMA). One-component nanocomposite films of the polymer-grafted nanoparticle (PGN) MxG-CNC-g-PPMA are imbibed with 30 wt % imidazolium-based ionic liquid to produce flexible ion-conducting films. These films with 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (MxG-CNC-g-PPMA/[H]) not only display remarkable improvements in toughness (>25 times) and tensile strength (>70 times) relative to the corresponding films consisting of the ionic liquid imbibed in the two-component CNC/PPMA nanocomposite but also show higher ionic conductivity than the corresponding neat PPMA with the same weight percent of ionic liquid. Notably, the one-component film containing 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (MxG-CNC-g-PPMA/[E]) exhibits temperature-responsive ionic conduction. The ionic conductivity decreases at around 60 °C as a consequence of the lower critical solution temperature phase transition of the grafted polymer in the ionic liquid, which leads to phase separation. Moreover, holding the MxG-CNC-g-PPMA/[E] film at room temperature for 24 h returns the film to its original homogenous state. These materials exhibit properties relevant to thermal cutoff safety devices (e.g., thermal fuse) where a reduction in conductivity above a critical temperature is needed.

Abstract
A robust hybrid ion gel is fabricated utilizing the combined strategies of double-network (DN), composite, and high-functionality cross-linkers. The charged poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) (PAMPS) constructs the DN skeleton, with graphene oxide (GO) and N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) being the cross-linkers for the first and second networks, respectively. The ionic liquid, either 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium dicyanamide ([EMIm][DCA]) or 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIm][BF4]), is locked in the network to offer the high conductivity. Compared to the DN PAMPS ion gel without nanoparticles and the hybrid DN ion gel with unconnected silica nanoparticles, the present ion gel exhibits a significantly higher tensile strength (3.2 ± 0.1 MPa) and an excellent compressive strength (26 ± 1 MPa). The [EMIm][DCA] ion gel has a high conductivity close to that of its neat ionic liquids. The conductivity of the gel is sensitive to deformation and temperature, which leads to potential applications in sensing body movements, pulse, and temperature change.

Abstract
Exploring a simple, on-demanding method of manipulating ionic conduction of ionic liquids with large amplitudes is a challenging task. Here, a reversible ion-conducting switch was obtained based on photoswitchable sol-gel transitions. The device was successfully applied in an electronic circuit to switch it on/off. The ion gel was prepared by directly mixing following individual components: azobenzene (Azo), poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm), and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([C2mim][NTf2]). The mixture is denoted as Azo/PNIPAm/[C2mim][NTf2]. The framework of this gel structure was particularly designed as an analogue to the physical mode of control theory: sensor/amplification/action. Light-induced isomerization of Azo acts as the light sensor to trigger the macroscopic sol-gel transition of PNIPAm assemblies. Such transition works as the amplification, which significantly affects the ionic movements, resulting in high-amplitude switching behavior. A photoswitchable ionic conductive device was demonstrated as action in this paper. Under UV irradiation, the sol-like state of Azo/PNIPAm/[C2mim][NTf2] provided a higher ion conduction (around 1 mS/cm) while being exposed to visible light, and a lower ion conduction (0.04 mS/cm) was observed in the gel state. This photoswitchable ion conductivity device was integrated to a well-designed logic gate to switch circuits on or off. This confirms the possible practical application of the sol-gel device, which outputs stable and detectable electrical signals. The research here demonstrates a simple but effective strategy to control the ionic movements, which can be applied in optoelectronic devices. The principle can be used to design different types of molecular optoelectronic switches.

Abstract
Ion gels, soft materials that contain ionic liquids (ILs), are promising gel electrolytes for use in electrochemical devices. Due to the recent surge in demand for flexible and wearable devices, highly durable ion gels have attracted significant amounts of attention. In this review, we address recent advances in the development of ion gels that can heal themselves when mechanically damaged. Light- and thermally induced healing of ion gels are discussed as stimuli-responsive healing strategies, after which self-healable ion gels based on supramolecular and dynamic covalent chemistry are addressed. Tough, highly stretchable, and self-healable ion gels have recently been fabricated through the judicious design of polymer nanostructures in ILs in which polymer chains and IL cations and anions interact. The applications of self-healable ion gels to electrochemical devices are also briefly discussed.
