Anion–π Interaction‐Regulated Ion Generation and High Piezoionic Response in Ultrasoft Low‐Salinity Hydrogels

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The first hydrogel system employing anion–π interactions as a central design motif is developed. The cooperative aromatic–phosphate interaction motif provides dynamic cohesion and is proposed to regulate the separation and transport of water‐derived ionic species, achieving high piezoionic response in injectable, self‐healing, ultrasoft, low‐salinity ...
