Fabrication of stretchable chemical sensors becomes increasingly attractive for emerging wearable applications in environmental monitoring and health care. Here, for the first time, chemically derived ionic conductive polyacrylamide/carrageenan double-network (DN) hydrogels are exploited to fabricate ultrastretchable and transparent NO2 and NH3 sensors with high sensitivity (78.5 ppm(-1)) and low theoretical limit of detection (1.2 ppb) in NO2 detection. The hydrogels can withstand various rigorous mechanical deformations, including up to 1200% strain, large-range flexion, and twist. The drastic mechanical deformations do not degrade the gas-sensing performance. A facile solvent replacement strategy is devised to partially replace water with glycerol (Gly) molecules in the solvent of hydrogel, generating the water-Gly binary hydrogel with 1.68 times boosted sensitivity to NO2 and significantly enhanced stability. The DN-Gly NO2 sensor can maintain its sensitivity for as long as 9 months. The high sensitivity is attributed to the abundant oxygenated functional groups in the well-designed polymer chains and solvent. A gas-blocking mechanism is proposed to understand the positive resistance shift of the gas sensors. This work sheds light on utilizing ionic conductive hydrogels as novel channel materials to design highly deformable and sensitive gas sensors.
