離子凝膠與共聚凝膠的新興市場機會：科技與市場（2026-2046 年）

概括

憑藉離子凝膠的卓越性能，新的研究成果不斷湧現，一個龐大的市場正在形成。眾多公司也紛紛進入這一領域。本報告內容全面且具有商業導向，揭示了包括材料和裝置製造商、投資者以及終端用戶在內的眾多市場相關人員的商機。本報告不僅涵蓋離子凝膠，還涉及共熔凝膠。與離子凝膠類似，共熔凝膠也是離子導電且揮發性較低的凝膠材料，但其特徵是使用低共熔深共熔溶劑（DES）而非離子液體作為支撐基質。預計這將帶來新的優勢，例如提高生物分解性和降低成本。

報告的第一作者、Zhar Research執行長Peter Harrop博士表示：「我們的研究表明，離子凝膠具有非常廣泛的優勢。尤其值得一提的是，它們是新型離子電子軟性電子設備的基礎技術，這些設備在醫療領域備受關注。離子凝膠所展現的巨型離子席貝克效應有望顯著推動熱電能量回收技術的發展。此外，具有巨磁阻抗特性的離子凝結塞貝克效應有望顯著推動熱電能源回收技術的發展。此外，具有巨磁阻抗特性的離子凝結塞貝克效應有望顯著推動熱電能量回收技術的發展。此外，具有巨電阻特性的離子凝結膠有望應用於下一代人機面積（ 二氧化碳捕集 ） 。

目前預期應用中約有40%與水凝膠已應用或正在考慮引入的領域相關。然而，它們凝膠因其不易乾燥、不易凍結且能承受許多應用所需的工作電壓等特性，正在蠶食水凝膠的市場佔有率。此外，許多新型離子凝膠和超導電凝膠的應用範圍已遠遠超出這些傳統用途，進入了能夠同時發揮多種優異性能的先進技術領域。

Summary

Ionogel virtuosity is creating large markets powered by a flood of new research advances and companies are entering the field. The new 380-page, “Ionogel and eutectogel emerging opportunities: technology, markets 2026-2046” report reveals your opportunities from material or device supplier, investor, through to user. It is comprehensive, and commercially-oriented. It includes eutectogels, another family of ionic-conductive, non-volatile gels but with deep eutectic solvents instead of ionic liquids in their supporting matrix. This expands the capability in aspects such as biodegradability, and cost reduction.

Primary author Dr Peter Harrop, CEO of Zhar Research says, “We find that ionogels bring a formidable range of benefits, including being the basis of the new iontronics flexible electronics exciting the medical community. Ionogel giant ionic Seebeck effect will boost thermoelectric energy harvesting. Ionogels offering giant magnetoimpedance are proposed for next human-machine interfaces. Ionogel is a formidable contender for the leak-free, higher-performance electrolytes for batteries. Add new, self-powered sensors, artificial muscles, drug delivery, soft robotics, better, wider X-ray scintillator film, smart textiles and windows, neuromorphic computing, water purification, carbon capture and much more.”

About 40% of the applications are where hydrogels are used or proposed, with ionogels taking share because they do not dry out or freeze and only they meet the typically-required voltages of operation. However, most of the emerging ionogel and eutectogel applications go way beyond, typically exploiting multiple benefits. Uniquely, the report clarifies often obscure science and initiatives into roadmaps, market forecasts, SWOT appraisals, infograms, pie charts, identified gaps in the market and comparison tables, with a glossary of terms.

The Executive Summary and Conclusions (50 pages) is sufficient for those with limited time. It explains how ionogels are a class of electrically-conductive, soft materials comprising a three-dimensional network matrix (organic or inorganic) that immobilizes ionic liquids (ILs). They have drawn considerable attention due to a suite of exceptional and tunable physicochemical properties, such as nonvolatility, excellent thermal and electrochemical stability, adjustable mechanical strength and high ionic conductivity. Frequently, we can add to that self-healing, non-flammable, self-adhesive, stretchable, transparent, recyclable and tunable in physical and chemical properties to a huge variety of applications. There is even more capability than that emerging. See all the SWOT appraisals, roadmaps and forecasts after understanding the basics in pie charts, SWOT appraisals and comparison tables here. 35 key conclusions are presented.

The Introduction (38 pages) gives definitions and context, presenting 25 ionogel market sectors as examples and where hydrogels compete. Applications of ionogels by seven types of composition are compared in a table and eight properties of ionogels attracting attention are shown in an infogram. Specifics such as wearable ionogels - flexible and fabric – and ionogel smart windows are described to bring the subject alive, followed by more examples analysed fully in later chapters. The design and manufacturing issues for ionogels are introduces and then there is a SWOT appraisal of ionogels.

The following chapters give the detail, fortified by a large number of 2026 and 2025 research papers and company activities being analysed. Chapter 3. Ionogel options by matrix material (24 pages) explains why the matrix, rather than the trapped ionic liquid, controls most of the desired properties and why certain materials are particularly popular in major advances recently. Chapter 4. Optimising specific ionogel and eutectogel attributes: major advances in 2025 and 2026 (28 pages) addresses optimisation, where required, of adhesion: surgical and other, antibacterial, biocompatible, fluorescent, self-healing, strengthening, terahertz manipulation and transparency capability.

By now you have a grasp of how to make the best ionogel and eutectogel materials but who does it and how will they make the required formats such as complex 3D and 2D shapes, fibers and fabrics? Chapter 5. Evolving ionogel device manufacturers, supply chain, formats, fabrication technologies (32 pages) answers these questions, identifies the best and the future trends. It ends with composite forms including magnetic ionogels.

Chapter 6. Ionogels and eutectogels in iontronics, flexible electronics and human interfaces (52 pages) introduces ionogel-enabled iontronics, an emerging interdisciplinary field that uses ions instead of electrons as the primary signal carriers to bridge the gap between solid-state electronics and biological systems. It provides sensing, computing, and actuation. The advances in ionogel sensing, including e-skin, are both large and potentially impactful so that gets a major part of this chapter. Also see electragel ionogels, a transparent, and highly adhesive ionogel passively absorbing and screening static charges and potentially for energy harvesting. Ionogel membranes are a strong trend. See membranes for gas separation, energy storage and conversion with SWOT, human interfaces and many optical devices, all with analysis of remarkable advances in 2025 and 2026.

Chapter 7. Ionogels in batteries and supercapacitors (47 pages) presents five SWOT appraisals as it examines batteries, supercapacitors and variants needing ionogels. It finds that battery-supercapacitor hybrids and batteries have the largest value market potential for using ionogels as semi-solid-state electrolytes but there is competition. Even sodium-ion batteries partly replacing lithium may use ionogels and major advances in 2025 and 2026 are explained.

Chapter 8. Ionogels and eutectogels for energy harvesting and cooling (28 pages) finds that the giant ionic Seebeck effect they provide will have considerable success as stronger, wider-area thermoelectric harvesting. See the strong research pipeline including in 2026. It finds a gap in the market for the reverse – ionogel thermoelectric cooling. It cautions about piezoelectric and triboelectric ionogel harvesting options but fully explains them.

Chapter 9. Medical ionogels: 2026 advances and trends (52 pages) advises that this sector will be one of the most important in years to come, with a superb research pipeline and company initiatives already. Of course, earlier chapters have inevitably touched on medical and other healthcare opportunities but here the focus is a SWOT appraisal and explanation of the remarkable versatility of medical ionogels. That is followed by explanation of medical bioelectronics and iontronics advancing rapidly through 2026 and then the detail. That includes texture, strength and environmental resilience advances, ionogel electrodes for triboelectric and bioelectronic interfaces and antibacterial agents. A large section then covers ionogels as drug delivery systems because these show exceptional advances and potential. Further sections present wound healing ionogel dressings and treatments, tissue engineering, smart skin, synthetic vision, visual time indicators – all very promising and with important 2026 advances in support. The chapter ends with stretchable neuromorphic electronics for future human-integrated intelligence advancing in 2026.

Chapter 10. Ionogels for carbon capture, removing heavy metals and synthetic dyes (12 pages) finds that these opportunities are more uncertain and less broadly based than medical but they are worth watching. Capturing carbon for the whole planet is probably a bridge too far but carbon capture and even conversion at origin, using ionogels, is in prospect, with strong new research. Then there is water treatment, including removal of heavy metals but that has a weaker ionogel research pipeline. Hydrogel competition is appraised.
