Ionogel has recently emerged as a promising ionotronic material due to its good ionic conductivity and flexibility. However, low stretchability and significant hysteresis under long-term loading limit their mechanical stability and repeatability. Developing ultralow hysteresis ionogels with high stretchability is of great significance. Here, a simple and effective strategy is developed to fabricate highly stretchable and ultralow-hysteresis noncovalent cross-linked ionogels based on phase separation by 3D printing of 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate (HPA) in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (BMIMBF4). Ingeniously, the sea-island structure of the physically cross-linked network constructed by the smaller nanodomains and larger nanodomain clusters significantly minimizes the energy dissipation, endowing these ionogels with remarkable stretchability (>1000%), ultra-low hysteresis (as low as 0.2%), excellent temperature tolerance (−33–317 °C), extraordinary ionic conductivity (up to 1.7 mS cm−1), and outstanding durability (5000 cycles). Moreover, due to the formation of nanophase separation and cross-linking structure, the as-prepared ionogels exhibit unique thermochromic and multiple photoluminescent properties, which can synergistically be applied for anti-counterfeiting and encrypting. Importantly, flexible thermo-mechano-multimodal visual ionotronic sensors for strain and temperature sensing with highly stable and reproducible electrical response over 20 000 cycles are fabricated, showing synergistically optical and electrical output performances.
