A Li+-integrated metallohydrogel-based mixed conductive electrochemical semiconductor

A metallohydrogel (STG)-based mixed conductive electrochemical semiconductor has been obtained via LiOH-deprotonation of a pre-gelator (H4STL) followed by treatment with Cd(OAc)2. The gelation mechanism of STG, its mixed ionic-electronic conductive nature and application towards an electrochemical semiconductor were well explored by using various techniques including EIS studies.
