Anti-swelling dual-network zwitterionic hydrogels with excellent mechanical properties for flexible supercapacitors and sensors
A dual-network hydrogel is prepared easily <i>via</i> the polymerization of zwitterions in a polyvinyl alcohol, phytic acid and Li<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> solution. The sulphonic acid groups of phytic acid provide transport channels for ions, and Li<sup>+</sup> causes the dual chains to cross-link. The hydrogel has high mechanical performance and ionic conductivity, and can be used as a flexible supercapacitor electrolyte and sensor.
