a Ionic conductivity of SBMA-EG-2 M-LiCl at different temperatures. Error bars show s.d., n = 3. b Comparison of performance of our EG gels and previously reported organohydrogels, organogels, deep eutectic gels, and ionogels. More information is seen in Supplementary Tables 8–11. c Ionic conductivity change of SBMA-EG-2 M-LiCl and AAm-H2O-2 M-LiCl after different times at 100 °C. Data are presented as mean values +/− SD, n = 3. d Ionic conductivity change of SBMA-EG-2 M-LiCl and AAm-H2O-2 M-LiCl after 1 day at −20 °C, 0 °C, 25 °C, 40 °C and 60 °C and after 3 h at 80 °C and 100 °C as a function of time. Data are presented as mean values +/− SD, n = 3. e Conductivity change of SBMA-EG-2 M-LiCl and AAm-H2O-2 M-LiCl after 1 day at 10% RH, 40% RH, and 70% RH and 25 °C as a function of time. Data are presented as mean values +/− SD, n = 3. f Display of SBMA-EG-2 M-LiCl lighting LED light at 100 °C. g Display of SBMA-EG-2 M-LiCl lighting LED light at −20 °C. Scale bars: 1 cm.
