PG - e2209980 LID - 10.1002/adma.202209980 [doi] AB - Flexible Zn-air batteries (FZABs) have significant potentials as efficient energy storage devices for wearable electronics because of their safeties and high energy-to-cost ratios. However, their application is limited by their short cycle lives, low discharge capacities per cycle, and high charge/discharge polarizations. Accordingly, herein, a poly(sodium acrylate)-polyvinyl alcohol (PANa-PVA)-ionic liquid (IL) hydrogel (PANa-PVA-IL) is prepared using a hygroscopic IL, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, as an additive for twin-chain PANa-PVA. PANa-PVA-IL exhibits a high conductivity of 306.9 mS cm(-1) and a water uptake of 2515 wt% at room temperature. Moreover, a low-cost bifunctional catalyst, namely, Co(9) S(8) nanoparticles anchored on N- and S-co-doped activated carbon black pearls 2000 (Co(9) S(8) -NSABP), is synthesized, which demonstrates a low O(2) reversibility potential gap of 0.629 V. FZABs based on PANa-PVA-IL and Co(9) S(8) -NSABP demonstrate high discharge capacities of 1.67 mAh cm(-2) per cycle and long cycle lives of 330 h. Large-scale flexible rechargeable Zn-air pouch cells exhibit total capacities of 1.03 Ah and energy densities of 246 Wh kg(cell) (-1) . This study provides new information about hydrogels with high ionic conductivities and water uptakes and should facilitate the application of FZABs in wearable electronics.
