The next-generation multifunctional soft electronic devices require the development of energy devices possessing comparable functions. In this work, an ultra-stretchable and healable hydrogel-based triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is prepared for mechanical energy harvesting and self-powered sensing. An ionic conductive hydrogel was developed with graphene oxide and Laponite. as the physical cross-linking points, exhibiting high stretchability (∼1356%) and healable capability. When using the hydrogel as the electrode, the TENG can operate normally at 900% tensile strain, while the electrical output of the TENG can fully recover to the initial value after healing the damage. This hydrogel-based TENG is demonstrated to power wearable electronics, and is used as a self-powered sensor for human motion monitoring and pressure sensing. Our work shows opportunities for multifunctional power sources and potential applications in wearable electronics.

Hydrogels are promising materials for wearable electronics, artificial skins and biomedical engineering, but their limited stretchability, self-recovery and crack resistance restrict their performance in demanding applications. Despite efforts to enhance these properties using micelle cross-links, nanofillers and dynamic interactions, it remains a challenge to fabricate hydrogels that combine high stretchability, self-healing and strong adhesion. Herein, we report a novel hydrogel synthesized the copolymerization of acrylamide (AM), maleic acid (MA) and acrylonitrile (AN), designed to address these limitations.

An ultra-stretchable, quickly self-healable, adhesive hydrogel with efficient anti-oxidant and anti-bacterial activities makes it potential wound dressing material, particularly in healing skin wounds. However, it is highly challenging to prepare such hydrogels with a facile and efficient material design. Given this, we opine the synthesis of medicinal plant Bergenia stracheyi extract-loaded hybrid hydrogels of biocompatible and biodegradable polymers like Gelatin, Hydroxypropyl cellulose, and Polyethylene glycol with acrylic acid via in situ free radical polymerization reaction.

The construction of ultra-stretchable and smart supercapacitors with a large deformation-tolerance range and highly efficient self-healability is fully desired for next-generation wearable electronics. Herein, a sandwich-structured self-wrinkling hydrogel film (SSHF) is fabricated by freezing-constrained polymerization-driven self-wrinkling. Polypyrrole layers are first polymerized on a frozen pre-stretching hydrogel surface and subsequently self-wrinkled upon releasing the pre-strain.

Hydrogels have emerged as a landmark soft material for a wide range of applications such as in biomedical devices, soft robotics, artificial electronic skins, and the Internet of Things (IoT). To date, engineering hydrogels that simultaneously possess high stretchability (>3000%) and strong on-skin adhesion (>30 kPa) has not been an easy task. Generally, good stretchability is mainly dominated by the bulk interactions of hydrogels, whereas robust adhesion relies on the interfacial interactions of hydrogels with their surroundings.
