pH value is one of the most important characteristics in many scientific fields. Since the 1980s, the concept of cheap, reliable and compact pH monitoring has evolved. In many chemical productions, accurate and real-time pH detection is needed. Biochemical and biomedical fields also have great demand for pH monitoring of the microenvironment. In this context, hydrogel pH sensor comes into being, which is a new pH monitoring technology combining responsive hydrogel with sensor. Due to its characteristics of miniaturization and intelligence, it can be applied to many fields such as chemical engineering, biomedicine and environmental detection. This paper reviewed the research progress of hydrogel pH sensing technology in recent years, which was mainly divided into optical, mechanical and electromagnetic principles. And several types of hydrogel pH sensors were described. In addition, the main performance parameters, advantages and disadvantages of various types of hydrogel pH sensors were compared. And the applicable pH range, sensitivity and response time of different types of hydrogel pH sensors were emphatically analyzed. Finally, the challenges and future development of hydrogel pH sensing technology were discussed and prospected.
