Based on the demand for flexible human–machine interaction devices, it is urgent to develop high performance stretchable ionic conductive materials. However, most gel-based ionic conductive materials are composed of crosslinked polymer networks that contain liquids, and suffer from limitations of solvent volatilization and leakage, and the cross-linking restricts the movement and diffusion of polymer chains, making it difficult for them to achieve adhesion. Here, we introduce flexible and adhesive liquid-free ionic conductive elastomers (ICE) with salt using a non-crosslinked polymer strategy. The ICE show a transparency of 89.5%, Tg of 51.2 1C, negligible weight loss at 200 1C, a tensile fracture strain of 289.5%, and an initial modulus of 45.7 kPa, and is adhesive to various solid surfaces with an interfacial toughness of 11.4 to 41.4 J m2. Moreover, the ICE exhibit stable electrical conductivity under ambient conditions. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) were assembled on an electrical shell surface with the adhesive ICE as an electrostatic induction layer and were displayed for use as human–machine interactive keyboards. This approach opens a route to making adhesive and stable polymer ionic conductors for human–machine interaction.
