Hybrid Hydrogel Electrolyte Based on Metal-Organic Supermolecular Self-Assembly and Polymer Chemical Cross-Linking for Rechargeable Aqueous Zn-MnO2 Batteries

Multifunctional metal-organic supramolecular hydrogels have achieved great progress nowadays. However, their applications in aqueous batteries for flexible energy storage devices remain limited due to their unsatisfactory mechanical properties. Here, we report a rapid formation of supramolecular hydrogel by adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) and manganese ions (Mn2+). Additionally, the AMP-Mn hydrogel is combined with chemical cross-linking poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) polymer networks to form an AMP-Mn/PVA hybrid hydrogel, which effectively solves the problems with regard to the mechanical properties and stability of metal-organic supramolecular hydrogels as well as self-healing of tough chemical cross-linking polymer networks. The AMP-Mn/PVA hybrid hydrogel served as the hydrogel electrolyte to fabricate flexible Zn-MnO2 batteries, which exhibit fast ion conductivity, excellent electrochemical stability, and robust mechanical strength, indicating feasible practical application prospects. This investigation provides a promising opportunity for the application of metal-organic supramolecular hydrogels in the field of energy storage.
