Abstract
Ionogels are crosslinked networks—typically polymeric networks—swollen with ionic liquids. The unique properties of ionogels, such as nonvolatility, ionic conductivity, nonflammability, and high thermal and electrochemical stability, make them promising for a variety of applications. Examples include sensors, adhesives, energy storage devices, and ionotronics. While many ionogels require complex syntheses and suffer from poor mechanical properties, simpler strategies are emerging to produce tough ionogels, thereby improving the durability, enabling 3D printing, and broadening the application space of ionogels. This perspective highlights promising applications and future opportunities of ionogels.
期刊介绍:
NPG Asia Materials is an open access, international journal that publishes peer-reviewed review and primary research articles in the field of materials sciences. The journal has a global outlook and reach, with a base in the Asia-Pacific region to reflect the significant and growing output of materials research from this area. The target audience for NPG Asia Materials is scientists and researchers involved in materials research, covering a wide range of disciplines including physical and chemical sciences, biotechnology, and nanotechnology. The journal particularly welcomes high-quality articles from rapidly advancing areas that bridge the gap between materials science and engineering, as well as the classical disciplines of physics, chemistry, and biology. NPG Asia Materials is abstracted/indexed in Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition Web of Knowledge, Google Scholar, Chemical Abstract Services, Scopus, Ulrichsweb (ProQuest), and Scirus.
