However, conventional rigid sensors suffer from mechanical incompatibility with soft plant tissues and invasive attachment, limiting long-term in situ monitoring. Here, a flexible triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) sensor based on a conductive ionic hydrogel (PAM-Li-Zn TENG) was developed and integrated with a Bluetooth module for wireless plant monitoring. The hydrogel composed of PVA, AM, LiCl, and zinc chloride provided excellent flexibility, ionic conductivity, and water retention. The optimized hydrogel containing 3 wt % glycerol exhibited a tensile strength of approximately 124 kPa and an elongation at break of nearly 582%. With PDMS encapsulation, the sensor achieved structural stability and reliable operation. Combined with machine learning algorithms, the PAM-Li-Zn TENG enabled intelligent identification of plant growth states and abiotic stress monitoring, generating an open-circuit voltage of 312 V and a short-circuit current of 31 \u03bcA under 50 N force at 1.6 Hz.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acs.biomac.6c01415","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,26]],"date-time":"2026-09-26T18:01:46Z","timestamp":1790445706000},"page":"6826-6839","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Intelligent Monitoring System for Plant Growth Based on the PAM-Li-Zn Ionic Hydrogel"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Long","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Changchun University of Technology , , ,","place":["Changchun, P.
