By introducing α‐methacrylic acid (MAA) monomer and N , N ′‐methylene diacrylamide crosslinking agent, a new type of eutectic solvent gel is prepared by ultraviolet light‐initiated polymerization. The influence of MAA content on the mechanical properties of the gel is systematically studied. When the MAA content is 25 wt%, the comprehensive performance of the gel is the best, the fracture strain reaches 404%, the compressive strength is 1.38 MPa, and the elastic modulus (122 kPa) matched that of human skin. Differential scanning calorimetry confirmes that it still have no crystallization peak from room temperature to −80 °C and have excellent frost resistance. The maximum shear adhesion strength to nine substrates such as metals and plastics reached 343.4 kPa. The sensing test showes that the gel have a significant sensitivity (gauge factor = 1.64–4.06) within the strain range of 0%–320%, and could stably monitor human joint movements. This work provides a new strategy for developing high‐performance flexible wearable sensors suitable for extreme environments.","PeriodicalId":23934,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie","volume":"651 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147332871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a novel proton exchange membrane is developed by incorporating a protic ionic liquid (IL) into NH 2 ‐MIL‐53(Al) materials of institute Lavoisier (MIL)and embedding the resulting composite within a sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) matrix. The porous architecture of the MOF facilitates the formation of an extensive hydrogen‐bonding network between the IL cations and water molecules, which is critical for efficient proton transport. Furthermore, the synergistic interaction between the NH 2 groups of NH 2 ‐MIL‐53(Al) and the SO 3 H groups of SPEEK enables dual‐proton‐conduction pathways, resulting in a remarkable proton conductivity of 0.42 S cm −1 for the IL@NH 2 ‐MIL‐53(Al)/SPEEK‐7 composite. Additionally, the IL@NH 2 ‐MIL‐53(Al)/SPEEK‐7 membrane demonstrates exceptional stability in proton conduction under tested conditions.

We attribute this to the presence of underbonded oxide ions, either in bulk structures or at surfaces, which are the initial source of oxygen redox during charging. Underbonded oxide ions experience departures from local electroneutrality; examples include Li4Mn5O12 spinel and Li‐rich layered rock salt structures but not stoichiometric LiCoO2 or Li2MnO3. Underbonded oxide ions ionise more readily than fully‐stabilised lattice oxide ions since, using an ionic bonding description, they are associated with a deficiency of positive charge in the coordination sphere of surrounding cations. Pauling’s electrostatic bond strength criterion gives a simple guide to structures or compositions that show departures from local electroneutrality and provides the starting point for a new way to consider oxygen redox. Li4Mn5O12 behaves as an anode due to Mn redox below 3V and as a cathode due to reversible oxygen redox above ~3.8 V. Underbonded oxygens are also identified in other structures, including high capacity Li‐rich layered rock salt structures.","PeriodicalId":23934,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
