Abstract

Thermoelectric (TE) hydrogels, mimicking human skin, possessing temperature and strain sensing capabilities, are well-suited for human-machine interaction interfaces and wearable devices. In this study, a TE hydrogel with high toughness and temperature responsiveness was created using the Hofmeister effect and TE current effect, achieved through the cross-linking of PVA/PAA/carboxymethyl cellulose triple networks. The Hofmeister effect, facilitated by Na and SO ions coordination, notably increased the hydrogel's tensile strength (800 kPa). Introduction of Fe/Fe as redox pairs conferred a high Seebeck coefficient (2.3 mV K), thereby enhancing temperature responsiveness. Using this dual-responsive sensor, successful demonstration of a feedback mechanism combining deep learning with a robotic hand was accomplished (with a recognition accuracy of 95.30%), alongside temperature warnings at various levels. It is expected to replace manual work through the control of the manipulator in some high-temperature and high-risk scenarios, thereby improving the safety factor, underscoring the vast potential of TE hydrogel sensors in motion monitoring and human-machine interaction applications.
