A fully hydrophobic ionogel enables highly efficient wearable underwater sensors and communicators

Abstract

Underwater sensing has extraordinary significance in ocean exploration (e.g., marine resources development, marine biology research, and marine environment reconnaissance), but the great difference between the marine environment and the land environment seriously prevents current traditional sensors from being applied in underwater sensing. Herein, we reported a fully hydrophobic ionogel with long-term underwater adhesion and stability as a highly efficient wearable underwater sensor that displays an excellent sensing performance, including high sensitivity, rapid responsiveness and superior durability. Of greater significance, the ionogel sensor showed tremendous potential in underwater sensing applications for communication, posture monitoring and marine biological research.
