Abstract
Ionic gels can be potentially used in wearable devices owing to their high humidity resistance and non-volatility. However, the applicability of existing ionic gel pressure sensors is limited by their low sensitivity. Therefore, it is very important to develop an ionic gel pressure sensor with high sensitivity and a wide pressure detection range without sacrificing mechanical stretchability and self-healing ability. Herein, we report an effective strategy for developing pressure sensors based on ionic gel composites consisting of high-molecular-weight polymers, ionic liquids, and Au nanoparticles. The resulting capacitive pressure sensors exhibit high pressure sensitivity, fast response, and excellent self-healing properties. The sensors composed of highly hydrophobic polymers and ionic liquids can be used to track underwater movements, demonstrating broad application prospects in human motion state monitoring and underwater mechanical operations.
