          The current research mainly focused on the reaction-driven biomimetic sensing capabilities of polyaniline-based materials. We exploring the simultaneous change of properties of conducting polymers driven by oxidation/reduction reactions (such as conductivity, volume, colour, stored ion or stored charge change in a reversible and controlled way during the same reversible electrochemical reaction) for developing self-sensing motors - sensing supercapacitor, sensing actuators, etc. The research comprised of facile and large-scale fabrication of polyaniline/hydrogel hybrid films as an electrode material for supercapacitors having the capability to sense working physical and chemical ambient (such as electrical, chemical and thermal conditions). This research provides a valuable idea for designing electrochemical devices capable to sense working and surrounding conditions during functioning.
