Lipoic acid (LA), which originates from animals and plants, is a small biomass molecule and has recently shown great application value in soft conductors. However, the severe depolymerization of LA places a significant limitation on its utilization. A strategy of using Li-bonds as both depolymerization quenchers and dynamic mediators to melt transform LA into high-performance ionoelastomers (IEs) is proposed. They feature dry networks while simultaneously combining transparency, stretchability, conductivity, self-healing ability, non-corrosive property, re-mouldability, strain-sensitivity, recyclability, and degradability. Most of the existing soft conductors’ drawbacks, such as the tedious synthesis, non-renewable polymer networks, limited functions, and single-use only, are successfully solved. In addition, the multi-functions allow IEs to be used as soft sensors in human–computer interactive games and wireless remote sports assistants. Notably, the recycled IE also provides an efficient conductive filler for transparent ionic papers, which can be used to design soft transparent triboelectric nanogenerators for energy harvesting and multidirectional motion sensing. This work creates a new direction for future research involving intelligent soft electronics.
