We present a novel method for the in-situ preparation of poly(tetrahydrofuran) (PTHF) electrolyte using streamlined polymerization and accelerated gelation. Structural, compositional, and interfacial properties of the PTHF electrolyte as a function of time were analyzed using NMR, MS, and EIS spectra. This method provides rapid gelation and high purity, addressing common issues such as weak solidification and impurity formation encountered with boron trifluoride diethyl etherate initiators. The amorphous-dominant in-situ derived PTHF exhibited a bulk conductivity of 10^-4 S cm⁻¹ and a wide electrochemical window of up to 5.2 V at RT, owing to rich BF₃ coordination bonds that promote Li-polymer conduction and enhance polymer stability. The in-situ PTHF significantly improves interfacial contact, and the solid electrolyte interface film on the harvested Li was more robust than that of the ex-situ PTHF counterpart. Importantly, in-situ PTHF electrolytes treated with AC voltage were evaluated for their ability to improve interfacial compatibility (e.g., structural stability, uniform Li⁺ deposition, and dendrite suppression) and to facilitate continuous Li⁺ pathways through the alignment of PTHF chains, notably raising t_Li+ from 0.21 to 0.61 compared to before. Validation with a quasi-solid-state Li–O₂ battery using in-situ PTHF demonstrated a 75.7 % round-trip efficiency with 100 % capacity retention over 50 h, and delivered a specific discharge capacity of 3300 mAh g⁻¹, confirming its practical potential. Overall, this work presents a strategically designed PTHF-based electrolyte fabricated via in-situ assembly, offering new insights into advanced electrolyte design.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":315,"journal":{"name":"European Polymer Journal","volume":"234 ","pages":"Article 114016"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144106674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These polymer-based sensors including molecularly imprinted polymers, polymer nanoparticles, conjugated polymers, and hydrogels leverage optical phenomena such as fluorescence, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) to achieve precise glucose detection in medical, biological, and environmental contexts. These materials are capable of binding glucose molecules with high specificity, facilitated by their tailored functional groups and advanced design. Optical chemosensors provide several advantages over traditional electrochemical sensors, such as immunity to electromagnetic interference, label-free detection, and potential for remote sensing. Furthermore, they offer enhanced reproducibility and internal calibration, making them suitable for continuous and non-invasive glucose monitoring. Despite these advancements, challenges such as environmental stability, interference from biological molecules, and limitations in long-term performance are remained. Strategies to overcome these challenges include the development of multi-responsive polymers and hybrid materials that can adapt to varying conditions such as temperature, pH, and pressure. This review focuses on polymer-based optical sensors, including hydrogels, polymer nanoparticles, conjugated polymers, and molecularly imprinted polymers, which have demonstrated significant potential for glucose detection across a range of environments. The discussion emphasizes the current performance of these molecular probes and chemosensors, particularly in terms of their sensitivity and selectivity, in relation to practical application requirements.

Herein, we propose a new design strategy to prepare room temperature self-healable and recyclable polyurethanes (PUs), in which both dynamic metal–lysine coordination bonds and dual H-bonds were simultaneously embedded. At first, three metal–lysine coordination complexes, i.e. Zn(Lys)₂, Cu(Lys)₂ and Mg(Lys)₂, were synthesized and characterized, which were used as chain-extenders for the subsequent preparation of PUs. These complexes of Zn(Lys)₂, Cu(Lys)₂ and Mg(Lys)₂ exhibited a distinct behavior after incorporation into PUs. The mechanical and self-healing properties of these metal-lysine containing PUs (PU-M−x, M = Zn²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Mg²⁺, x represents molar percentage of M(Lys)₂ in chain extenders) can be easily tuned by simply adjusting the type and the amount of metal–lysine coordination complexes added. The PU films displayed excellent mechanical properties with the tensile strength at break varying from 17.2 to 43.0 MPa, the ultimate elongation above 657.0 % and toughness above 45.0 MJ m⁻³. Among these elastomers, both PU-Zn-20 and PU-Mg-10 shows outstanding self-healing efficiency over 92.0 % based on toughness at 25 °C for 24 h due to the the multiple dynamic interactions including dynamic metal–lysine coordination bonds and hydrogen bonds within their networks. In particular, PU-Zn-20 exhibits the best comprehensive properties, of which tensile strength, breaking strain, and toughness are as high as 25.4 MPa, 832.3 %, and 59.8 MJ m⁻³, respectively. Furthermore, these PUs could also be reprocessed with excellent recovered mechanical properties. We demonstrate that the self-healing elastomers have a potential application as a flexible substrate for the easy fabrication of healable electrodes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":315,"journal":{"name":"European Polymer Journal","volume":"234 ","pages":"Article 114015"},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143947677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
