Zwitterionic Ionogels Resolving the Trade‑Off Between Mechanical Strength and Autonomous Self‑Healing for Iontronics (IMAGE)
Caption
- Zwitterionic side-chain engineered tough ionogel (ZESTI) resolves the trade-off between mechanical toughness and autonomous self-healing through zwitterionic side-chain engineering.
- Synergistic dynamic ion–dipole and dipole–dipole interactions enable robust mechanical reinforcement, efficient ion transport, and room-temperature self-healing.
- ZESTI-based iontronic devices exhibit reliable sensing performance and functional recovery after mechanical damage.
