Abstract
Modified graphene can self-gel at the liquid-solid interface in a face-to-face manner to form an oriented conductive hydrogel film. This unusual gelation behavior enables a new generation of electroconductive hydrogels combining exceptional mechanical strength, high electrical conductivity, mechanical flexibility, and anisotropic responsive properties.
