Özet

Supramolecular polymer gels show promise for use in batteries, supercapacitors, and multifunctional sensors. However, their poor stiffness and ionic conductivity hinder their large-scale utilization. Herein, a cellulose-based supramolecular bio-polymer gel (SBPG) with high ionic conductivity and exceptional stiffness is reported. These properties are translated into proof-of-concept iontronic pressure sensors with an ultra-high sensitivity of 1 475 000 kPa−1. The technological potential is demonstrated via fabrication of a prototype smart glove using only eight pressure sensors based on this novel gel. Smart glove sensors with 90% classification accuracy for object recognition are demonstrated using a tactile feedback algorithm.
