Here, we demonstrate visible self-assembly of millimeter-scaled hydrogels with flexible Lego-like connectivity for high-capacity encoding by storing the assembly information of both orthogonally stimulus-responsive components and interfacial supramolecular binding. Three categories of hydrogels with response to temperature, redox conditions, and UV light, are used as the intelligent building components. Meanwhile, reversible electrostatic interactions are applied as the interfacial supramolecular connectivity, which undergoes on-demand assembly/disassembly to create diverse structures similar to Lego playing. Mechanistic study is obtained by quantify the connectivity via in-situ measurements of interfacial binding forces between components. The flexible supramolecular connectivity of responsive components has provided abundant assembly possibility with good control, leading to a high encoding capacity of over 800 billion codes for a simple 5 × 5 assembly.

To this end, a functional hydrogel of oxidized sodium alginate (OSA) crosslinked poly(acrylic acid-<em>co</em>-acrylamide) (P(AA-<em>co</em>-AM)) in the presence of BaTiO₃ (BTO) nanoparticles was initially prepared and then immersed in FeCl₃ solution to form OSA/P(AA-<em>co</em>-AM)/Fe³⁺-BTO (O/P/Fe-BTO) hydrogels. Due to the multiple interaction (such as dynamic Schiff base cross-linking bond, metal coordination and hydrogen bonding), along with the synergistic contributions of each component, the as-prepared O/P/Fe-BTO hydrogels displayed outstanding mechanical property (tensile stress of 2.14 MPa, tensile strain of 876 %, toughness of 9.96 MJ/m³), good conductivity (0.14 S/m) and excellent antibacterial activity. Subsequently, a kind of PTENG was constructed by employing the O/P/Fe-BTO hydrogels as electrode materials. Leveraging both triboelectric and piezoelectric effects, the PTENG demonstrated excellent electrical output performance (open-circuit voltage of 222 V and short-circuit current of 5.35 μA). As a practical demonstration, the application of PTENG in self-powered strain and tactile sensors was demonstrated, manifesting their promising potential in self-powered sensing system.

Using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we have studied the back-extraction behaviours and Am/Eu separation capabilities of three ethylenediamine N-heterocyclic carboxylate ligands including N, N, N’-tris (2-pyridylmethyl)-N’-(ethylacetate) ethylenediamine (HL^3py), N, N, N’-tris (2-pyrazinylmethyl)-N’-(ethylacetate) ethylenediamine (HL^3pz), and N, N, N’-tris (2-triazinylmethy)-N’-(ethylacetate) ethylenediamine (HL^3tz).
