Ionic liquid gels have potential applications in separation, sensing, electronic devices, artificial muscles, solar cells, etc. due to their good stability, electrical conductivity and flame retardancy. The introduction of self-healing ability into ionic liquid gels, which allows the gels to heal their structure and function after damage, can undoubtedly improve the service life and functional reliability of ionic liquid gels. But so far, research on self-healing ionic liquid gels has rarely been reported. Present project intends to fabricate self-healing ionic liquid gels by introducing supramolecular interactions into the ionic liquid gels, which is achieved through the optimized design of the network structure and internal interaction. The effects of the network structure and the type of supramolecular interaction and ionic liquid of the self-healing ionic liquid gels on the mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, stability and healing ability of the gels will be systematically studied. Through the synergistic optimization of gel structure and supramolecular interaction of the gels, self-healing ionic liquid gels with ideal mechanical properties, electrical conductivity and healing ability will be fabricated. Furthermore, application potentials of self-healing ionic liquid gels in the fields of sensing, separation, corrosion prevention, drag reduction, electronic devices and so forth will be explored.
