Self-healable, stretchable, and nonvolatile solid polymer electrolytes for sustainable energy storage and sensing applications

Highly transparent, self-healing and adhesive wearable ionogel as strain and temperature sensor

“…This indicated that dynamic interactions occurred in the gel system. 20,41 Furthermore, the attractive binding energy in the ionogel was predicted with density functional theory (DFT) calculations using Gaussian16 46 at the ωB97X-D 47 /6-31G(d) 48 level with the BSSE correction. As shown in Fig.…”

“…), which exist in the polymer networks, can endow I-skins with self-repairing ability. [38][39][40][41][42] Li et al reported a transparent self-healing ionogel with environmental tolerance, excellent mechanical strength, and good compressive resilience. 43 The network of the transparent ionogel was achieved by entanglements and intersections between poly(acrylic acid) chains by coordination bonds (carbonyl groups to Zn 2+ ions), and the ionogel had excellent self-healing efficiency but low adhesion.…”

Bio‐Based Solid Electrolytes Bearing Cyclic Carbonates for Solid‐State Lithium Metal Batteries

“…[10][11][12] For example, self-healing materials and coatings gained focus on preventing physical and chemical damage and achieving sustainability, lower environmental impact over the lifetime, and better acceptability. [13][14][15][16] As lithium-metal batteries are maturing with time, the clock ticks not only on the improvement of existing Li-ion cells but also beyond Li-ion batteries technologies, keeping in mind that the former poses issues like stability, limited Li reserves, and recycling. [17][18][19][20] Alternatives like sodium-, potassium-, or magnesium-based batteries, just to name a few, have been actively studied.…”

“…In addition to the design of new solid electrolytes, a large number of studies are also being dedicated to the understanding of the long cycling cells failure via interfacial studies and thus engineering interfaces for beneficial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) species either by surface treatments and computational predictions [10–12] . For example, self‐healing materials and coatings gained focus on preventing physical and chemical damage and achieving sustainability, lower environmental impact over the lifetime, and better acceptability [13–16] …”

From stretchable and healable to self-healing semiconducting polymers: design and their TFT devices

“…Thus far, striking progress has been achieved in various flexible electronic devices applications such as soft robots, 5 e-skin sensors, [6][7][8] flexible devices, [9][10][11][12] wearable electronics, 13 and energy-storage devices. 14,15 Such near-magnificence devices tend to fail in long-…”
