Hydrogels are swollen polymer networks in water and are usually considered as a type of mechanically weak materials. In recent years, by using sacrificial bond principle, many strong and tough hydrogels were developed, widely extending their application to various fields. The sacrificial bonds break preferentially during deformation, dissipating a significant amount of energy and giving a high toughness of the hydrogels. Diverse sacrificial structures have been used to toughen hydrogels, with structure length ranging from nanometer scale to millimeter scale. Different sacrificial structures cause very different specific molecular mechanisms and properties of hydrogels. In this article, the molecular mechanisms of various tough hydrogels are summarized, and the synergistic effect by combining multiple energy dissipation mechanisms to achieve super‐tough hydrogels is highlighted.
