الملخصHypothesis Development of highly efficient low-molecular weight gelators (LMWGs) for safe energy storage materials is of great demand. Energy storage materials as fuel gels are often achieved by construction of hybrid organic frameworks capable of multiple noncovalent interactions in self-assembly, which allow tuning required properties at the molecular level by altering individual building blocks of the LMWG. However, LMWGs have limited rechargeable capability due to their chemical instability. Experiments We designed, synthesized and characterized a novel, bio-inspired chiral gemini amphiphile derivative 1 containing N-hexadecyl aliphatic tails from quaternized nicotinamide-based segment and bromide anion showing supergelation ability in water, alcohols, aprotic polar and aromatic solvents, with critical gel concentrations as low as 0.1 and 0.035 wt% in isopropanol and water, respectively. Findings Nanostructural architecture of the network depended on the solvent used and showed variations in size and shape of 1D nanofibers. Supergelation is attributed to a unique asymmetric NH⋯OC, H⋯Br− hydrogen bonding pattern between H-2 hydrogens from nicotinamide-based segment, amide functional groups from chiral trans-cyclohexane-1,2-diamide-based segment and bromide ions, supporting the intermolecular amide–amide interactions appearing across one strand of the self-assembly. Gels formed from 1 exhibit high stiffness, self-healing, moldable and colorable properties. In addition, isopropanol gels of 1 are attractive as reusable, shape-persistent non-toxic fuels maintaining the chemical structure with gelation efficiency for at least five consecutive burning cycles.
