As a kind of promising material for flexible wearable electronics, conductive hydrogels have attracted extensive interests of researchers for their inherent merits such as superior mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and permeability. Herein, we constructed a new type of highly stretchable, anti-freezing, self-healable, and conductive hydrogel based on chitosan/polyacrylic acid. The large amount of ions inside the network had five functions for the proposed hydrogel, including excellent mechanical behaviors, high conductivity, self-recovery, self-healing and anti-freezing capability. Consequently, the proposed hydrogel possessed tunable stretchability (1190-1550%), tensile strength (0.96-2.56 MPa), toughness (5.7-14.7 MJ/m3), superior self-healing property (self-healing efficiency up to 83.7%), high conductivity (4.58-5.76 S/m), and excellent anti-freezing capability. To our knowledge, the self-healable hydrogel with balanced tensile strength, toughness, conductivity, and lowtemperature tolerance can hardly be achieved till now. Furthermore, the conductive hydrogels exhibited high sensitivity (gauge factor up to 10.8) in a broad strain window (0-1000%) and could detect the conventional motion signals of human body such as bending of a knuckle, swallowing, and pressure signal at both room temperature and -20 degrees C. Moreover, the hydrogels could also be fabricated as flexible detectors to identify different temperatures, different kinds of solutions, and different concentrations of the solution.
