Sustainable liquid metal-induced conductive nacre

Nacre has inspired research to fabricate tough bulk composites for practical applications using inorganic nanomaterials as building blocks.However,with the considerable pressure to reduce global carbon emis-sions,preparing nacre-inspired composites remains a significant challenge using more economical and environmentally friendly building blocks.Here we demonstrate tough and conductive nacre by assem-bling aragonite platelets exfoliated from natural nacre,with liquid metal and sodium alginate used as the"mortar".The formation of Ga-O-C coordination bonding between the gallium ions and sodium algi-nate molecules reduces the voids and improves compactness.The resultant conductive nacre exhibits much higher mechanical properties than natural nacre.It also shows excellent impact resistance attrib-uted to the synergistic strengthening and toughening fracture mechanisms induced by liquid metal and sodium alginate.Furthermore,our conductive nacre exhibits exceptional self-monitoring sensitivity for maintaining structural integrity.The proposed strategy provides a novel avenue for turning natural nacre into a valuable green composite.
