Abstract
underwater and low-temperature (-80 °C) adhesion, and unusual boiling water-resistance, as well as strong base-, strong acid- (even aqua regia), ultra-low-temperature- (liquid nitrogen, -196 °C), and high-temperature- (200 °C) resistance. All these outstanding properties strongly recommend the SP-DN eutectogels as a quasi-solid electrolyte for soft electrochromic devices, which exhibited exceptional flexibility and consistent electrochromic behaviours in harsh mechanical or temperature environments. The experimental and simulation results uncovered the assembly mechanism of the SP-DN eutectogels. Unlike polymer hydrogels, the obtained SP-DN eutectogels showed high molecular design freedom and structural versatility. The findings of this work offer a promising strategy for developing the next generation of mechanically robust and functionally integrated soft materials with high environmental adaptability.
