Hydrogels hold great promise as electrolytes for emerging aqueous batteries, for which establishing a robust electrode-hydrogel interface is crucial for mitigating side reactions. Conventional hydrogel electrolytes fabricated by ex situ polymerization through either thermal stimulation or photo exposure cannot ensure complete interfacial contact with electrodes. Herein, we introduce an in situ electropolymerization approach for constructing hydrogel electrolytes.

- Layered double hydroxide (LDH) is favored for water splitting due to its adaptability and strong activity, but it typically struggles with stability on flexible carbon textiles.
- A new salt-template-assisted method enhances the growth of 2D amorphous ternary LDH, improving both catalysis and durability when applied to fibers.
- The resulting 2D NiFeCo-LDH/CF electrode demonstrates excellent performance in both oxygen and hydrogen reactions, maintaining stability through extensive bending, indicating promising commercial viability.
Conductive polymer (CP) fabric is considered as the ideal electrode for flexible energy storage due to its light weight, good flexibility and high energy storage properties. However, the conventional polymer-coated cellulose fiber synthesized by liquid-phase oxidation polymerization always forms disordered assembly of polymer particles on fiber, which endures poor mechanical stability. Here, we report a two-dimensional (2D) CP based fabric electrode realized by a salt-template assisted vapor-phase polymerization method, which achieves robust coating of 2D CP on various cellulose fibers.
