Piezoelectric?Augmented Thermoelectric Ionogels for Self?Powered Multimodal Medical Sensors (Adv. Mater. 6/2025)

Multimodal Sensing IonogelsIn article number 2414663, Chen Xu, Shengqiang Bai, Ziqi Liang, and coworkers demonstrat the multimodal sensing capabilities of a paradigm ionogel, [EMIM][TFSI]/PVDF–HFP. Under applied temperature and pressure fields, the iongel exhibits piezoelectric (PE) augmented ionic thermoelectric (iTE) properties, where ion transport is modulated by a PE?induced internal field. Such dual?stimuli sensitivity, coupled with iTE?based humidity responsiveness, holds great potential for clinical applications. It can effectively monitor vital signs such as blood pressure, cardiac function, and blood loss from wounds.
