ABSTRACT
In this study, we propose a nonâ¯-â¯toxic and low-cost fabrication of cellulose-based eutectogel through the ZnCl2/H2O/H3PO4 deep eutectic solvent (DES) to dissolve cellulose followed by free-radical polymerization of acrylamide. Particularly, the introduction of cellulose enhances the mechanical properties of eutectogels while eliminating the environmental concerns of the traditional nanocellulose fabrication process. Owing to the dynamic transfer of ions in the eutectogel network, the prepared eutectogels exhibit adjustable conductivity (0.9-â¯1.37â¯Sm-1, 15⯰C) and stretching sensitivity (Gauge factorâ¯=â¯5.4). The resulting DESâ¯-â¯cellulose-based eutectogels (DCEs) exhibited ultra stretchability (4086â¯%), high toughness (261.3â¯MJ/m3), excellent ionic conductivity (1.64â¯Sm-1, 20⯰C), high transparency (>85â¯%), outstanding antifreezing performance (<-80⯰C), and other comprehensive characteristics. The DCEs had been proven to have multiple sensitivities to external stimuli, like temperature, strain, and pressure. As a result, the DCEs can be assembled into multifunctional sensors. Moreover, this work also demonstrated the satisfactory performance of DCEs in flexible electroluminescent devices. The low cost and high efficiency made the preparation method of this experiment an efficient strategy for developing high-performance cellulose-based eutectogels, which would greatly promote the application of such materials in areas such as artificial skin for soft robots and other wearable devices.
