To fabricate an ion piezoelectric self-powered flexible strain sensor with good mechanical properties, and stable output through a simple preparation process, a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/p(acryloyloxyethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDMC)/cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) (PVA/PDMC/CNC) ionic hydrogel was synthesized from PVA, acryloyloxyethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (DMC) and CNC via segmented polymerization, cyclic freeze-thawing, as well as ion soaking, and characterized by FTIR, SEM, and XRD. The influence of CNC content (based on PVA mass, the same below) on the mechanical properties and output voltage of the hydrogels was evaluated, while series of output tests were conducted on the fabricated ion-piezoelectric flexible sensor to explore its ion-piezoelectric mechanism. The results showed that when the content of CNC being 2% and m(PVA)∶m(DMC)=1∶2, the prepared PVA/PDMC/CNC ionic hydrogel (2%-PVA/PDMC/CNC) exhibited a maximum tensile strength of 1.46 MPa, and an elongation at break of 475%. The piezoionic flexible sensor fabricated from 2%-PVA/PDMC/CNC could achieve an output voltage of 40 mV under pressure of 20 N and frequency of 0.5 Hz, and maintained stable output performance during 800 times of cyclic tests. Meanwhile, it could accurately detect and identify human motions such as gestures and joint bending, and precisely detect the motion frequency and intensity through analysis on the waveforms and peak height of the output voltage.
