Abstract: | As one of the most rapidly expanding materials, hydrogels have gained increasing attention in a variety of fields due to their biocompatibility, degradability and hydrophilic properties, as well as their remarkable adhesion and stretchability to adapt to different surfaces. Hydrogels combined with carbon-based materials possess enhanced properties and new functionalities, in particular, conductive hydrogels have become a new area of research in the field of materials science. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview and up-to-date examination of recent developments in the synthesis, properties and applications of conductive hydrogels incorporating several typical carbon nanoparticles such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, carbon dots and carbon nanofibers. We summarize key techniques and mechanisms for synthesizing various composite hydrogels with exceptional properties, and represented applications such as wearable sensors, temperature sensors, supercapacitors and human-computer interaction reported recently. The mechanical, electrical and sensing properties of carbon nanoparticles conductive hydrogels are thoroughly analyzed to disclose the role of carbon nanoparticles in these hydrogels and key factors in the microstructure. Finally, future development of conductive hydrogels based on carbon nanoparticles is discussed including the challenges and possible solutions in terms of microstructure optimization, mechanical and other properties, and promising applications in wearable electronics and multifunctional materials. |
