Hydrogels have been the subject of significant research in the field of friction due to their exceptional lubricating properties. In this study, the G-quadruplex hydrogel with high selectivity for K + ions was formed by introducing a mixture of G, 2-formylphenylboronic acid, and polyethylene glycol...
