The lack of mobile ionic channels and unstable MoS2 conductive networks severely limit both photoelectric conversion efficiency and long-term working stability under dynamic deformation. To break through these dual bottlenecks, herein we develop an ion-coordination strategy to construct a synergistic electron\u2013cation dual transport system, where Li+ forms reversible coordination bonds with oxygen-containing groups on the hydrogel matrix to simultaneously build two interconnected charge transport pathways. The cation migration channels offer free-moving Li+ to neutralize photogenerated holes and weaken Coulomb confinement for suppressed carrier recombination, while the coordination anchors MoS2 nanosheets firmly on polymer skeletons to maintain intact electronic percolation networks under stretching. We identify 4 mg mL\u20131 as the critical threshold concentration to form continuous long-range cation transport channels within the hydrogel network. Benefiting from the dual-channel synergistic effect, the optimized ion-modified hydrogel delivers a 364% elevated photocurrent density of 4.523 \u03bcA cm\u20132 at 0.6 V bias with 120 mW cm\u20132 illumination compared with unmodified pristine PVA-MoS2. Moreover, the dual-channel hydrogel maintains fully reversible and steady photoresponse under 200% tensile strain over 5000 s continuous illumination cycles. This facile coordination-mediated dual-channel engineering provides a universal strategy to synchronously optimize photoresponse and deformation tolerance, shedding new light on high-performance, long-lifetime stretchable wearable photodetectors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/acs.jpclett.6c02196","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,20]],"date-time":"2026-08-20T16:06:39Z","timestamp":1787241999000},"page":"10155-10164","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["High Performance\nStretchable PVA-MoS2 Hydrogel\nPhotodetectors with Electron\u2013Cation Dual Charge Transport"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Jianghao","family":"Gan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Xiangtan University , , ,","place":["Hunan, P.
