Hydrogel electrolytes hold great potential in flexible zinc ion supercapacitors(ZICs)due to their high con-ductivity,good safety,and flexibility.However,freezing of electrolytes at low temperature(subzero)leads to drastic reduction in ionic conductivity and mechanical properties that deteriorates the perfor-mance of flexible ZICs.Besides,the mechanical fracture during arbitrary deformations significantly prunes out the lifespan of the flexible device.Herein,a Zn2+and Li+co-doped,polypyrrole-dopamine dec-orated Sb2S3 incorporated,and polyvinyl alcohol/poly(N-(2-hydroxyethyl)acrylamide)double-network hydrogel electrolyte is constructed with favorable mechanical reliability,anti-freezing,and self-healing ability.In addition,it delivers ultra-high ionic conductivity of 8.6 and 3.7 S m-1 at 20 and-30 ℃,respec-tively,and displays excellent mechanical properties to withstand tensile stress of 1.85 MPa with tensile elongation of 760%,together with fracture energy of 5.14 MJ m-3.Notably,the fractured hydrogel elec-trolyte can recover itself after only 90 s of infrared illumination,while regaining 83%of its tensile strain and almost 100%of its ionic conductivity during-30-60 ℃.Moreover,ZICs coupled with this hydrogel electrolyte not only show a wide voltage window(up to 2 V),but also provide high energy density of 230 Wh kg-1 at power density of 500 W kg-1 with a capacity retention of 86.7%after 20,000 cycles under 20 ℃.Furthermore,the ZICs are able to retain excellent capacity even under various mechanical defor-mation at-30 ℃.This contribution will open up new insights into design of advanced wearable flexible electronics with environmental adaptability and long-life span.
