Extremely Deformable, Transparent, and High-Performance Gas Sensor Based on Ionic Conductive Hydrogel
Abstract
Fabrication of stretchable chemical sensors becomes increasingly attractive for emerging wearable applications in environmental monitoring and health care. Here, for the first time, chemically derived ionic conductive polyacrylamide/carrageenan double-network (DN) hydrogels are exploited to fabricate ultrastretchable and transparent NO 2 and NH 3 sensors with high sensitivity (78.5 ppm –1 ) and low theoretical limit of detection (1.2 ppb) in NO 2 detection. The hydrogels can withstand various rigorous mechanical deformations, including up to 1200% strain, large-range flexion, and twist. The drastic mechanical deformations do not degrade the gas-sensing performance. A facile solvent replacement strategy is devised to partially replace water with glycerol (Gly) molecules in the solvent of hydrogel, generating the water–Gly binary hydrogel with 1.68 times boosted sensitivity to NO 2 and significantly enhanced stability. The DN-Gly NO 2 sensor can maintain its sensitivity for as long as 9 months. The high sensitivity is attributed to the abundant oxygenated functional groups in the well-designed polymer chains and solvent. A gas-blocking mechanism is proposed to understand the positive resistance shift of the gas sensors. This work sheds light on utilizing ionic conductive hydrogels as novel channel materials to design highly deformable and sensitive gas sensors.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
