Background
With the rapid development of 5G and the Internet of things, the world of everything interconnection is coming, and more sensors gradually enter the lives of people. In the aspect of monitoring objects by actual sensors, gas detection, especially oxygen detection, becomes more important, because people cannot leave oxygen, which is closely related to the health of people, and when the oxygen concentration in the environment is too high or too low, the oxygen sensor can cause harm to human bodies, so that the oxygen sensor plays an important role in monitoring whether the oxygen concentration around the environment where the human bodies are located is normal or not in real time, and a higher-quality living environment is provided for people. In addition, the oxygen sensor in the wearable electronic device, the electronic skin, and other devices needs to be attached to an object with an irregular surface topography for use, and may be deformed such as bent and stretched during use, so that the oxygen sensor is also required to have good flexibility and stretchability. In addition, in a daily application, since the sensor moves along with a human body or a robot, the sensor is likely to be detached or damaged. Therefore, it also needs a certain self-adhesion and self-healing property so that it can be better applied to practical situations.
Conventional flexible gas sensors are typically made by integrating a non-flexible sensing element, such as MoS, on a flexible substrate, such as Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), polybutylene adipate/terephthalate (Ecoflex), and Polyimide (PI) 2 、CeO 2 And the self stretchability of the sensor is limited by the flexible substrate, and meanwhile, the separation of the sensitive element and the substrate may occur, so that the stability of the device is reduced, and the biocompatibility and the self-adhesion of the flexible substrate materials are generally poor, so that the flexible substrate materials are not suitable for being directly attached to human skin, and even if the flexible substrate materials can be attached to the human skin, the self-adhesion is not high enough. For example, chinese patent CN110183688 discloses a method for preparing a flexible strain sensor based on nanocellulose-carbon nanotube-polyacrylamide conductive hydrogel, which can be used to prepare a flexible oxygen sensor without a substrate, but has low sensitivity and poor self-adhesion and biocompatibility because the gel cannot adsorb oxygen in the environment.

example 3
The difference between the embodiment and the embodiment 1 is that the mass ratio of acrylamide, N' -methylene-bis-acrylamide, photoinitiator, chitosan and acetic acid is replaced by 2000:2:70:500:70.
comparative examples 1 to 3
Comparative example 1 was prepared substantially in the same manner as in example 1 except that step S3 was not performed.
Comparative example 2 is prepared substantially in the same manner as in example 1, except that chitosan powder, acetic acid, and step S2 are not added.
Comparative example 3 was prepared in substantially the same manner as in example 1, except that chitosan was replaced with sodium alginate.
Performance testing
1. Flexibility and stretchability of gels
The double network organogel prepared in example 1 was subjected to bending, twisting, and stretching experiments, and the gel was bent to 180 ° (results are shown in fig. 4 a) and twisted to 720 ° (results are shown in fig. 4 b) by hand, and after the external force was removed, the gel was rapidly restored to its original shape. The results show that the gel stretches up to 1400% of its original length (as shown in FIG. 4c, d), indicating that the double-network organogel has excellent flexibility and stretchability. The double-network organogels prepared in examples 2 to 3 were subjected to the bending, twisting and stretching experiments, and the results show that the double-network organogels also have excellent flexibility and stretchability.
2. Self-adhesive properties
The double-network organic gel prepared in example 1 is adhered to different substrates including metal, plastic and glass, and still can bear the weight of 80g, 40g and 100g respectively (as shown in fig. 5 a), and the adhesion strength of the organic gel to the metal, the plastic and the glass can be calculated to be 20 kPa, 9.1 kPa and 10kPa respectively. This excellent adhesion is in addition to-CONH on polyacrylamide 2 In addition to this, the large amount of-NH groups on the chitosan chains 2 . When chitosan was not present (comparative example 2) or replaced by another polymer network (comparative example 3), the adhesion properties decreased. Comparative example 2 gel to goldThe adhesive strength of the metal, plastic and glass is 1.5, 3.5 and 2.2kPa respectively, and the adhesive strength of the gel prepared in the comparative example 3 to the metal, plastic and glass is 0.7, 0.6 and 1.4kPa respectively, which is far lower than that of the polyacrylamide-chitosan double-network organic gel prepared in the example 1 (as shown in figure 5 b). The polyacrylamide-chitosan double-network organogel has larger peel strength to various substrates (as shown in figure 5 c) through 180-degree peeling experiments, and the peel strength of the double-network organogel on glass and aluminum sheets is similar and is about 35N/m. This indicates that the double network organogel has good self-adhesive properties.
3. Self-repairing property
The LED bulb and the double-network organogel prepared in example 1 were combined to form a closed loop, and a 3V power supply was applied to the closed loop, which indicated that the double-network organogel had good conductivity (as shown in fig. 6 a). The double network organogel was cut with scissors, the closed current loop was opened and the LED bulb was immediately extinguished (as shown in fig. 6 b). And then the double-network organic gel cut into two sections is butted, the self-repairing of the double-network organic gel is realized, the conductivity of the double-network organic gel is restored again, and the LED bulb is lighted (as shown in figure 6 c). The electrical device tests the resistance of the fractured double-network organogel after being butted and re-separated, so that the resistance of the butted double-network organogel can be quickly restored to the original resistance value (as shown in fig. 6 d). These all indicate that the electrical properties thereof have good self-repairing properties. The butted and repaired double-network organogel is heated for 10min at 100 ℃ in a sealed state, and the double-network organogel can realize more than 250% of stretching (as shown in figure 6e, f), so that the good mechanical property of the double-network organogel is shown, and the good self-repairing property of the double-network organogel is also shown.
4. Gas-sensitive characteristics
The organogel prepared in example 1 was exposed sequentially to pure N 2 And a specific concentration of O 2 Connecting electrodes at both ends of the organogel to an electrical test device in a gas atmosphere, and monitoring the relative current change (Δ I/I) through the organogel 0 % and. DELTA.I is the change in current, I 0 Is initially in pure N 2 Current under atmosphere) The gas sensitive characteristics of the sensor were evaluated. The ventilator is at "O" in FIG. 7 for each test cycle 2 When the valve is opened, the O begins to be introduced 2 Gas up to "O 2 Off, end, O 2 When closed, nitrogen was started.
As shown in figure 7a, b, the organogel was exposed to 1% O repeatedly for cycles as an oxygen sensor 2 The dynamic response curve of the gas and the response magnitude of the cycle test. When the organogel is exposed to O 2 The current increases immediately when the gas is in motion, at which time O 2 Gas and H 2 The O molecules participate in the electrochemical reaction at the cathode to generate faradic current, causing an increase in the current flowing through the organogel. In the three-cycle test, the organogel pair 1%O 2 The response of (a) is substantially constant, indicating good repeatability.
As shown in FIG. 7c, organogel as oxygen sensor pair 1%O 2 The response time and the recovery time of the catalyst are respectively 39.9s and 63.7s, which are shorter than those based on ZnO and SnO 2 The oxygen sensor made of the traditional metal oxide material shows that the oxygen sensor has higher response speed and recovery speed.
As shown in FIG. 7d, organogels as oxygen sensors for different concentrations of O 2 Have different responses, and the smaller the concentration the smaller the response.
As shown in FIG. 7e, organogel as oxygen sensor pair O 2 The gas concentration response presents positive correlation, the detection range is from 0 percent to 100 percent, and the gas concentration response has the characteristic of detection in the full concentration range. And the gas sensor has good linearity under the concentration of 0-20%. The sensitivity of the gas sensor is 0.2%/ppm at a concentration of 0% to 20%, the theoretical detection limit is as low as 5.7ppm, and the sensitivity is very high.
As shown in FIG. 7f, the performance of each aspect of the oxygen sensor prepared from the polyacrylamide-chitosan double-network organogel is far better than that of most of the oxygen sensors based on metal oxide semiconductors reported at present.
As shown in FIGS. 8a, b, the polyacrylamide-chitosan double network organogel prepared in example 1 was prepared relative to comparative example 1The polyacrylamide-chitosan double-network hydrogel, the polyacrylamide single-network hydrogel prepared in the comparative example 2 and the polyacrylamide-calcium alginate prepared in the comparative example 3 have higher response and sensitivity when being used as gas sensors. Under the same conditions, the polyacrylamide-chitosan double-network hydrogel pair 1%O prepared in comparative example 1 2 The response was 1968%, much higher than 564% for comparative example 2 and 498% for comparative example 3, suggesting that the introduction of chitosan as a second polymer network into the gel brought a large amount of-NH to the gel 2 and-OH, the response sensitivity of the sensor is greatly improved; also for 1%O 2 Example 1 prepared bis-network organogel pair 1%O relative to comparative example 1 2 The response of the sensor is improved from 1968% to 3200% by 1.6 times, and the result shows that after the sensor is soaked in propylene glycol, the double-network hydrogel is successfully modified into double-network organogel, and the propylene glycol is introduced into the gel, so that a large amount of-OH is increased, and the sensitivity of the sensor is further improved.
5. Influence of different states of the gel on gas sensitivity
As shown in FIG. 9a, the organic hydrogel still responded to oxygen when the tensile strain was 86%, and the magnitude of the response increased from 2065% to 5139% for the same concentration of oxygen; as shown in FIGS. 9b, c, d, the sensor is sensitive to 1% concentration of O under 180 deg. bending conditions 2 3136%, in the post-self-repaired state, the sensor is sensitive to O at a concentration of 1% 2 The response of (c) was 3240%, which is substantially consistent with the response in the original state, i.e., unbent compared to 3200% without fracture. This indicates that the organogel-based gas sensor can still function properly in a bent state or after it has broken and healed naturally again; even in the tensile deformation state, the device can still work as usual through the calibration of an external device. The characteristics make it very suitable for the flexible electronic device field, help to expand its application range.
The oxygen sensor comprises electrodes for participating in an electrochemical reaction and for measuring a parameter reflecting the rate of the electrochemical reaction, the parameter being selected from the group consisting of the current flowing through the gel at a bias voltage, the currentA metal with good conductivity, such as silver, is highly selected. The oxygen sensor may further include detection means electrically connected to the two electrodes, respectively, for measuring a current flowing through the oxygen sensor through the electrodes. When in an oxygen atmosphere, oxygen can participate in electrochemical reactions at the electrodes of the sensor, thereby generating a faraday current. The higher the concentration of the oxygen is, the more the oxygen participating in the electrochemical reaction in the same time is, and the larger the generated Faraday current is; conversely, the lower the oxygen concentration, the lower the faraday current generated. By observing the change in current flowing through the sensor, the change in oxygen concentration in the environment can be known. The schematic diagram of the oxygen sensor prepared by the double-network organic hydrogel is shown in figure 3, and when the gas O to be detected in the external environment 2 The molecules 11 get electrons 12 at the metal cathode 14 of the oxygen sensor, and undergo a reduction reaction in the presence of water molecules 13: o is 2 +2H 2 O+4e - →4OH - . The metal anode is a silver electrode, and the silver is oxidized at the metal anode 15: ag-e - →Ag + ,Ag + +Cl - ≈ AgCl. The oxygen sensor detects a change in concentration of oxygen in the environment by detecting a change in the rate of electrochemical reactions occurring at the gel-electrode-external environment three-phase interface.

Other variations and modifications will be apparent to persons skilled in the art in light of the above description. And are neither required nor exhaustive of all embodiments.
