EPErica PensiniAMAlejandro G. Marangoni

Key Points

  • The aim is to reassess the piezoelectric properties of water-rich amphiphile gels and hydrated ionogels under mechanical stress.
  • Investigated electrical responses during mechanical deformation
  • Conducted cyclic voltammetry to study hysteretic behavior
  • Analyzed the characteristics of self-assembled amphiphile gels and hydrated ionogels
  • Amphiphile gels exhibited electrical responses when deformed
  • Cyclic voltammetry showed hysteretic behavior indicative of piezoelectric characteristics
  • Findings challenge traditional interpretations of electromechanical responses

Abstract

Water-rich, self-assembled amphiphile gels have recently been reported to exhibit electrical responses under mechanical deformation and hysteretic cyclic voltammetry behavior, leading to their interpretation as piezoelectric or ferroelectric soft materials....
