Effects of Cu²⁺/Zn²⁺ on the electrochemical performance of polyacrylamide hydrogels as advanced flexible electrode materials.

ABSTRACT: Previously, solid-state electrode materials have been utilized for the fabrication of energy storage devices; however, their application is impeded by their brittle nature and ion mobility problems. To address issues faced in such a modern era where energy saving and utility is of prior importance, a novel approach has been applied for the preparation of electrode materials based on polyacrylamide hydrogels embedded with reduced graphene oxide and transition metals, namely, Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺. The fabricated hydrogel exhibits high electrical properties and flexibility that make it a favorable candidate to be used in energy storage devices, where both elastic and electrical properties are desired. For the first time, a multi-cross-linked polyacrylamide hydrogel was construc
