Abstract
Spin-crossover (SCO) ferroelectrics with dual-function switches have attracted great attention for significant magnetoelectric application prospects. However, the multiferroic crystals with SCO features have rarely been reported. Herein, a molecular multiferroic Fe(II) crystalline complex [FeII(C8-F-pbh)2] (1-F, C8-F-pbh = (1Z,N'E)-3-F-4-(octyloxy)-N'-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)-benzo-hydrazonate) showing the coexistence of ferroelectricity, ferroelasticity, and SCO behavior is presented for the first time. By H/F substitution, the low phase transition temperature (270 K) of the non-fluorinated parent compound is significantly increased to 318 K in 1-F, which exhibits a spatial symmetry breaking 222F2 type ferroelectric phase transition with clear room-temperature ferroelectricity. Besides, 1-F also displays a spin transition between high- and low-spin states, accompanied by the d-orbital breaking within the t2g 4eg 2 and t2g 6eg° configuration change of octahedrally coordinated FeII center. Moreover, the 222F2 type ferroelectric phase transition is also a ferroelastic one, verified by the ferroelectric domains reversal and the evolution of ferroelastic domains. To the knowledge, 1-F is the first multiferroic SCO molecular crystal. This unprecedented finding sheds light on the exploration of molecular multistability materials for future smart devices.

Abstract
Amidst the global trend of advancing renewable energies toward carbon neutrality, energy storage becomes increasingly critical due to the intermittency of renewables. As an alternative to lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), aqueous batteries have received growing attention for large-scale energy storage due to their economical and safe features. Despite the fruitful achievements at the material level, the reliability and lifetime of aqueous batteries are still far from satisfactory. Alike LIBs, integrating smartness is essential for more reliable and long-life aqueous batteries via operando monitoring and automatic response to extreme abuses. In this review, recent advances in sensing techniques and multifunctional battery-sensor systems together with self-healing methods in aqueous batteries is summarized. The significant role of artificial intelligence in designing and optimizing aqueous batteries with high efficiency is also highlighted. Ultimately, it is extrapolated toward the future and present the humble perspective for building smarter aqueous batteries.

Abstract
Recently, polymers capable of repeatedly self-healing physical damage and restoring mechanical properties have attracted extensive attention. Among the various supramolecular chemistry, hydrogen-bonding (H-bonding) featuring reversibility, directionality and high per-volume concentration has become one of the most attractive directions for the development of self-healing polymers (SHPs). Herein, we review the recent advances in the design of high-performance SHPs based on different H-bonding types, for example, H-bonding motifs and excessive H-bonding. In particular, the effects of the structural design of SHPs on their mechanical performance and healing efficiency are discussed in detail. Moreover, we also summarize how to employ H-bonding-based SHPs for the preparation of self-healable electronic devices, focusing on promising topics, including energy harvesting devices, energy storage devices, and flexible sensing devices. Finally, the current challenges and possible strategies for the development of H-bonding-based SHPs and their smart electronic applications are highlighted.

The unique one-dimensional shape of fiber devices endows them advantages to work as human-interfaced electronics due to the small size, lightweight, flexibility, and feasibility for integration into large-scale textile systems. In this review, we first present a discussion of the basics of fiber materials and the design principles of fiber devices, followed by a comprehensive analysis on recently developed fiber devices. Finally, we provide the current challenges facing this field and give an outlook on future research directions. With novel fiber devices and new applications continuing to be discovered after two decades of research, we envision that new fiber devices could have an important impact on our life in the near future.

Abstract
The inner constituents of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are easy to deform during charging and discharging processes, and the accumulation of these deformations would result in physical fractures, poor safety performances, and short lifespan of LIBs. Recent studies indicate that the introduction of self-healing (SH) materials into electrodes or electrolytes can bring about great enhancements in their mechanical strength, thus optimizing the cycle stability of the batteries. Due to the self-healing property of these special functional materials, the fractures/cracks generated during repeated cycles could be spontaneously cured. This review systematically summarizes the mechanisms of self-healing strategies and introduces the applications of SH materials in LIBs, especially from the aspects of electrodes and electrolytes. Finally, the challenges and the opportunities of the future research as well as the potential of applications are presented to promote the research of this field.

Abstract
Materials able to regenerate after damage have been the object of investigation since the ancient times. For instance, self-healing concretes, able to resist earthquakes, aging, weather, and seawater have been known since the times of ancient Rome and are still the object of research. During the last decade, there has been an increasing interest in self-healing electronic materials, for applications in electronic skin (E-skin) for health monitoring, wearable and stretchable sensors, actuators, transistors, energy harvesting, and storage devices. Self-healing materials based on conducting polymers are particularly attractive due to their tunable high conductivity, good stability, intrinsic flexibility, excellent processability and biocompatibility. Here recent developments are reviewed in the field of self-healing electronic materials based on conducting polymers, such as poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (PEDOT), polypyrrole (PPy), and polyaniline (PANI). The different types of healing, the strategies adopted to optimize electrical and mechanical properties, and the various possible healing mechanisms are introduced. Finally, the main challenges and perspectives in the field are discussed.

Abstract
The advancement of wearable electronics, particularly self-powered wearable electronic devices, necessitates the development of efficient energy conversion technologies with flexible mechanical properties. Recently, ionic thermoelectric (TE) materials have attracted great attention because of their enormous thermopower, which can operate capacitors or supercapacitors by harvesting low-grade heat. This study presents self-healable, stretchable, and flexible ionic TE composites comprising an ionic liquid (IL), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate (EMIM:OTf); a polymer matrix, poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP); and a fluoro-surfactant (FS). The self-healability of the IL-based composites originates from dynamic ion-dipole interactions between the IL, the PVDF-HFP, and the FS. The composites demonstrate excellent ionic TE properties with an ionic Seebeck coefficient (Si ) of ≈38.3 mV K-1 and an ionic figure of merit of ZTi = 2.34 at 90% relative humidity, which are higher than the values reported for other IL-based TE materials. The IL-based ionic TE composites developed in this study can maintain excellent ionic TE properties under harsh conditions, including severe strain (75%) and multiple cutting-healing cycles.

Abstract
Self-healing is the capability of materials to repair themselves after the damage has occurred, usually through the interaction between molecules or chains. Physical and chemical processes are applied for the preparation of self-healing systems. There are different approaches for these systems, such as heterogeneous systems, shape memory effects, hydrogen bonding or covalent–bond interaction, diffusion, and flow dynamics. Self-healing mechanisms can occur in particular through heat and light exposure or through reconnection without a direct effect. The applications of these systems display an increasing trend in both the R&D and industry sectors. Moreover, self-healing systems and their energy storage applications are currently gaining great importance. This review aims to provide general information on recent developments in self-healing materials and their battery applications given the critical importance of self-healing systems for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). In the first part of the review, an introduction about self-healing mechanisms and design strategies for self-healing materials is given. Then, selected important healing materials in the literature for the anodes of LIBs are mentioned in the second part. The results and future perspectives are stated in the conclusion section.

Abstract
Multifunctional aqueous rechargeable batteries (MARBs) are regarded as safe, cost-effective, and scalable electrochemical energy storage devices, which offer additional functionalities that conventional batteries cannot achieve, which ideally leads to unprecedented applications. Although MARBs are among the most exciting and rapidly growing topics in scientific research and industrial development nowadays, a systematic summary of the evolution and advances in the field of MARBs is still not available. Therefore, the review presented comprehensively and systematically summarizes the design principles and the recent advances of MARBs by categories of smart ARBs and integrated systems, together with an analysis of their device design and configuration, electrochemical performance, and diverse smart functions. The two most promising strategies to construct novel MARBs may be A) the introduction of functional materials into ARB components, and B) integration of ARBs with other functional devices. The ongoing challenges and future perspectives in this research and development field are outlined to foster the future development of MARBs. Finally, the most important upcoming research directions in this rapidly developing field are highlighted that may be most promising to lead to the commercialization of MARBs and to a further broadening of their range of applications.

Abstract
Aqueous sulfuric acid solution is a versatile liquid electrolyte for electrochemical applications and gelation of it has the advantages of easy shaping and reduced leaking. Herein, aqueous sulfuric acid solutions with concentrations of 1-4 mol L-1 are fabricated into gel membranes by in situ polymerization of acrylamide as a monomer and divilynbenzene as a crosslinker for fuel cell applications. The gel membrane with an acid concentration of 3.5 mol L-1 exhibited the maximum proton conductivity of 184 mS cm-1 at 30 °C. Tensile fracture strength of the gel membrane reached 53 kPa with a tensile strain of 14. Thermogravimetric analysis reveals that the gel membranes are thermally stable at temperatures up to 231 °C. The gel membranes are successfully assembled into fuel cells and a peak power density of 74 mW cm-2 is achieved. The fuel cell maintains steady operation over 200 h. In situ gelation of aqueous sulfuric acid solution offers an efficient strategy to prepare gel electrolytes for electrochemical devices.

Abstract
While the fascinating field of soft machines has grown rapidly over the last two decades, the materials they are constructed from have remained largely unchanged during this time. Parallel activities have led to significant advances in the field of dynamic polymer networks, leading to the design of three-dimensionally cross-linked polymeric materials that are able to adapt and transform through stimuli-induced bond exchange. Recent work has begun to merge these two fields of research by incorporating the stimuli-responsive properties of dynamic polymer networks into soft machine components. These include dielectric elastomers, stretchable electrodes, nanogenerators, and energy storage devices. In this Minireview, we outline recent progress made in this emerging research area and discuss future directions for the field.

Abstract
Self-healing and flexibility are significant for many emerging applications of secondary batteries, which have attracted broad attention. Herein, a self-healing flexible quasi-solid Zn-ion battery composing of flexible all-in-one cathode (VS2 nanosheets growing on carbon cloth) and anode (electrochemically deposited Zn nanowires), and a self-healing hydrogel electrolyte, is presented. The free-standing all-in-one electrodes enable a high capacity and robust structure during flexible transformation of the battery, and the hydrogel electrolyte possesses a good self-healing performance. The presented battery remains as a high retention potential even after healing from being cut into six pieces. When bending at 60°, 90°, and 180°, the battery capacities remain 124, 125, and 114 mAh g-1, respectively, cycling at a current density of 50 mA g-1. Moreover, after cutting and healing twice, the battery still delivers a stable capacity, indicating a potential use of self-healing and wearable electronics.

Abstract
The wide applications of lithium metal batteries have encountered a severe conductivity issue when operating in cold weather. Here we report a freeze-resistant lithium metal battery, which displays outstanding rate performance, negligible polarization deterioration, and a good capacity retention of 94.25% after 700-cycles of use at -30 °C, the lowest temperature ever reported for gel electrolyte-based lithium metal batteries. Remarkably, the lithium metal batteries are even workable at temperatures down to -60 °C. The key point of the innovative design is the utilization of a newly created anti-freezing ionogel as an electrolyte, which is produced by gelation of an electrochemically inert ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoro-borate ([BMIM]BF4), via dynamic condensation of a specially designed benzaldehyde-terminated polyethylene glycol (PEG-CHOs) with the tetra-hydrazide derivative of p-tert-butyl-calix[4]arene (CTH). The as-prepared ionogel electrolyte demonstrates a high ionic conductivity (0.43 mS cm-1), a broad stability window (2.4-4.3 V vs. Li+/Li), and high flexibility at -30 °C. The outstanding property of the ionogel electrolyte is ascribed to its unique gel network structure as it enables enrichment of Li+ and enhances its efficient transportation. Further tests demonstrate that the ionogel electrolyte could be also used for the assembly of flexible lithium metal batteries.

Abstract
The demand for interfacing electronics in everyday life is rapidly accelerating, with an ever-growing number of applications in wearable electronics and electronic skins for robotics, prosthetics, and other purposes. Soft sensors that efficiently detect environmental or biological/physiological stimuli have been extensively studied due to their essential role in creating the necessary interfaces for these applications. Unfortunately, due to their natural softness, these sensors are highly sensitive to structural and mechanical damage. The integration of natural properties, such as self-healing, into these systems should improve their reliability, stability, and long-term performance. Recent studies on self-healing soft sensors for varying chemical and physical parameters are herein reviewed. In addition, contemporary studies on material design, device structure, and fabrication methods for sensing platforms are also discussed. Finally, the main challenges and future perspectives in this field are introduced, while focusing on the most promising examples and directions already reported.

Abstract
Self-healing materials integrated with excellent mechanical strength and simultaneously high healing efficiency would be of great use in many fields, however their fabrication has been proven extremely challenging. Here, inspired by biological cartilage, we present an ultrarobust self-healing material by incorporating high density noncovalent bonds at the interfaces between the dentritic tannic acid-modified tungsten disulfide nanosheets and polyurethane matrix to collectively produce a strong interfacial interaction. The resultant nanocomposite material with interwoven network shows excellent tensile strength (52.3 MPa), high toughness (282.7 MJ m‒3, which is 1.6 times higher than spider silk and 9.4 times higher than metallic aluminum), high stretchability (1020.8%) and excellent healing efficiency (80-100%), which overturns the previous understanding of traditional noncovalent bonding self-healing materials where high mechanical robustness and healing ability are mutually exclusive. Moreover, the interfacical supramolecular crosslinking structure enables the functional-healing ability of the resultant flexible smart actuation devices. This work opens an avenue toward the development of ultrarobust self-healing materials for various flexible functional devices.

Abstract
The flourishing development of multifunctional flexible electronics cannot leave the beneficial role of nature, which provides continuous inspiration in their material, structural, and functional designs. During the evolution of flexible electronics, some originated from nature, some were even beyond nature, and others were implantable or biodegradable eventually to nature. Therefore, the relationship between flexible electronics and nature is undoubtedly vital since harmony between nature and technology evolution would promote the sustainable development. Herein, materials selection and functionality design for flexible electronics that are mostly inspired from nature are first introduced with certain functionality even beyond nature. Then, frontier advances on flexible electronics including the main individual components (i.e., energy (the power source) and the sensor (the electric load)) are presented from nature, beyond nature, and to nature with the aim of enlightening the harmonious relationship between the modern electronics technology and nature. Finally, critical issues in next-generation flexible electronics are discussed to provide possible solutions and new insights in prospective exploration directions.

Abstract
Self-powered electronic skin (E-skin) can be endowed with high robustness by employing self-healing materials. However, most self-powered E-skin employs two heterogeneous materials with high modulus mismatch at the interface and poor fully self-healing ability, which reduces the robustness of the whole device. Here, a conductive polyurethane elastomer (PUE) with excellent mechanical toughness and self-healing ability is prepared. Based on the self-healing insulated/conductive PUE homogeneous structure and triboelectric-electrostatic induction effect, a highly robust and self-powered E-skin (HRSE-skin) is developed. The HRSE-skin possesses stable mechanosensation capability during the 50% stretching deformation due to a low modulus mismatch in the homogeneous structure. In addition, the stretchability and mechanosensation capability of the HRSE-skin can be restored after the fracture owing to the fully self-healing ability of the homogeneous structure. Therefore, the HRSE-skin has high robustness of the whole device including stable service behaviors and excellent restorability. The developed HRSE-skin demonstrates high robustness in the detection of the force and bending angle of the prosthetic joint. This work solves the low robustness of self-powered E-skin by the preparation of conductive self-healing PUE and the construction of the homogeneous structure, which is important for the practical applications of self-powered E-skin in prosthetic limbs and advanced robotics.

Abstract
Self-healing ability is an important survival feature in nature, with which living beings can spontaneously repair damage when wounded. Inspired by nature, people have designed and synthesized many self-healing materials by encapsulating healing agents or incorporating reversible covalent bonds or noncovalent interactions into a polymer matrix. Among the noncovalent interactions, the coordination bond is demonstrated to be effective for constructing highly efficient self-healing polymers. Moreover, with the presence of functional metal ions or ligands and dynamic metal-ligand bonds, self-healing polymers can show various functions such as dielectrics, luminescence, magnetism, catalysis, stimuli-responsiveness, and shape-memory behavior. Herein, the recent developments and achievements made in the field of self-healing polymers based on coordination bonds are presented. The advantages of coordination bonds in constructing self-healing polymers are highlighted, the various metal-ligand bonds being utilized in self-healing polymers are summarized, and examples of functional self-healing polymers originating from metal-ligand interactions are given. Finally, a perspective is included addressing the promises and challenges for the future development of self-healing polymers based on coordination bonds.

Abstract
Aqueous rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (ARLIBs) as alternative energy storage devices have attracted tremendous attention because of their low cost and high safety. However, it is still a significant challenge to develop flexible high-performance ARLIBs for powering wearable devices because of the lack of all binder-free electrode materials. In this study, we develop one-step hydro-/solvothermal methods to design binder-free electrodes of LiCoO2 polygonal-sheeted arrays and rugby ball-shaped NaTi2(PO4)3 on carbon nanotube fibers as the cathode (LCO@CNTF) and the anode (NTP@CNTF). Both the electrodes are prepared at low temperatures without an extra calcination process, which is a great improvement for the growth process. The electrodes deliver remarkable capacity and extraordinary rate performance in a saturated Li2SO4 solution. Meanwhile, because of the synergy of LCO@CNTF and NTP@CNTF, an impressive capacity of 45.24 mA h cm-3 and an admirable energy density of 67.86 mW h cm-3 are achieved for the assembled quasi-solid-state fiber-shaped flexible ARLIB (FARLIB), which outperform most reported fiber-shaped aqueous rechargeable batteries. More encouragingly, our FARLIB possesses good flexibility, with a 94.74% capacity retention after bending 3000 times. Thus, this work represents a significant step toward developing FARLIBs and provides a new prospect in the design of wearable energy storage devices.

Abstract
The integration of stimuli-responsiveness into energy storage devices has become an attractive way to manage the operation of devices. Current stimuli approaches (light, chemical, and temperature) require transparent windows and specific systems, or are subject to the tolerant temperature of batteries, hampering their widespread applications. Herein, a fast and reversible on-demand switching of batteries, which is realized by incorporating a magnetic control component, is reported. The component is capable of undergoing a reversible transition between electrical conduction and insulation over 500 cycles, showing superior cycling stability. Batteries with this component internally incorporated can retain excellent electrochemical performance in a wide potential window at normal conditions. More importantly, this approach can manage the operation of batteries in light of human requirements. The battery can shut down within 0.11 s of applying a magnetic field and rapidly resume a normal battery function under the magnetic field, showing an excellent response speed. Notably, this on-demand switching behavior in batteries can be repeated over 25 times, excelling most reported switching batteries. The design combines fast and repeatable characteristics without sacrificing electrochemical performance, providing possibilities in advancing the development of smart electronics.

Abstract
Zinc-iodine aqueous batteries (ZIABs) are highly attractive for grid-scale energy storage due to their high theoretical capacities, environmental friendliness, and intrinsic non-flammability. However, because of the close redox potential of Zn stripping/platting and hydrogen evolution, slight overcharge of ZIABs would induce drastic side reactions, serious safety concerns, and battery failure. A novel type of stimulus-responsive zinc-iodine aqueous battery (SR-ZIAB) with fast overcharge self-protection ability is demonstrated by employing a smart pH-responsive electrolyte. Operando spectroelectrochemical characterizations reveal that the battery failure mechanism of ZIABs during overcharge arises from the increase of electrolyte pH induced by hydrogen evolution as well as the consequent irreversible formation of insulating ZnO at anode and soluble Zn(IO3 )2 at cathode. Under overcharge conditions, the designed SR-ZIABs can be rapidly switched off with capacity degrading to 6% of the initial capacity, thereby avoiding continuous battery damage. Importantly, SR-ZIABs can be switched on with nearly 100% of capacity recovery by re-adjusting the electrolyte pH. This work will inspire the development of aqueous Zn batteries with smart self-protection ability in the overcharge state.

Abstract
Planar and rigid conventional electronics are intrinsically incompatible with curvilinear and deformable devices. The recent development of organic and inorganic flexible and stretchable electronics enables the production of various applications, such as soft robots, flexible displays, wearable electronics, electronic skins, bendable phones, and implantable medical devices. To power these devices, persistent efforts have thus been expended to develop a flexible energy storage system that can be ideally deformed while maintaining its electrochemical performance. In this review, the enabling technologies of the electrochemical and mechanical performances of flexible devices are summarized. The investigations demonstrate the improvement of electrochemical performance via the adoption of new materials and alternative reactions. Moreover, the strategies used to develop novel materials and distinct design configurations are introduced in the following sections.

Abstract
Progress toward the integration of electronic sensors with a signal processing system is important for artificial intelligent and smart robotics. It demands mechanically robust, highly sensitive, and self-healable sensing materials which could generate discernible electric variations responding to external stimuli. Here, inspired by the supramolecular interactions of amino acid residues in proteins, we report a self-healable nanostructured Ti3C2MXenes/rubber-based supramolecular elastomer (NMSE) for intelligent sensing. MXene nanoflakes modified with serine through an esterification reaction assemble with an elastomer matrix, constructing delicate dynamic supramolecular hydrogen bonding interfaces. NMSE features desirable recovered toughness (12.34 MJ/m3) and excellent self-healing performance (∼100%) at room temperature. The NMSE-based sensor with high gauge factor (107.43), low strain detection limit (0.1%), and fast responding time (50 ms) can precisely detect subtle human motions (including speech, facial expression, pulse, and heartbeat) and moisture variations even after cut/healing processes. Moreover, NMSE-based sensors integrated with a complete signal process system show great feasibility for speech-controlled motions, which demonstrates promising potential in future wearable electronics and soft intelligent robotics.

Abstract
Aqueous secondary Ni-Fe batteries with superior energy density, cost-effectiveness, and outstanding safety contribute significantly toward the development of portable and wearable energy storage devices with high performance. However, the common electrode materials are nickel/iron or their oxides which have suffered from poor conductivity and cycle performance. As an ideal candidate to address these issues, metal phosphides may offer outstanding theoretical specific capacity, low conversion potential, and impressive redox. In this study, one novel type of high-performance flexible Ni-Fe battery with binder-free electrodes on conductive fiber substrates is successfully designed and fabricated. Carbon nanotube fibers with the direct grown hierarchical NiCoP nanosheet arrays and FeP nanowire arrays are fabricated first using hydrothermal synthesis and then the pursuant gas phosphating process. With the assistance of the PVA-KOH gel electrolyte, our fiber-shaped aqueous rechargeable battery (FARB) presents negligible capacity loss after bending 3000 times. Meanwhile, the assembled FARB has a significant capacity of 0.294 mA h/cm2 under the current density of 2 mA/cm2 and a high energy density of 235.6 μW h/cm2.

Abstract
The emergence of self-healing devices in recent years has drawn a great amount of attention in both academics and industry. Self-healed devices can autonomically restore a rupture as unexpected destruction occurs, which can efficiently prolong the life span of the devices; hence, they have an enhanced durability and decreased replacement cost. As a result, integration of wearable devices with self-healed electronics has become an indispensable issue in smart wearable devices. In this study, we present the first self-powered, self-healed, and wearable ultraviolet (UV) photodetector based on the integration of agarose/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) double network (DN) hydrogels, which have the advantages of good mechanical strength, self-healing ability, and tolerability of multiple types of damage. With the integration of a DN hydrogel substrate, the photodetector enables 90% of the initial efficiency to be restored after five healing cycles, and each rapid healing time is suppressed to only 10 s. The proposed device has several merits, including having an all spray coating, self-sustainability, biocompatibility, good sensitivity, mechanical flexibility, and an outstanding healing ability, which are all essential to build smart electronic systems. The unprecedented self-healed photodetector expands the future scope of electronic skin design, and it also offers a new platform for the development of next-generation wearable electronics.

Abstract
It is very challenging to achieve polymers that are mechanically robust and fast self-healable at ambient conditions, which are highly desirable for smart materials of the next-generation. Herein, combining dynamic ditelluride bonds and 2-ureido-4[1H]-pyrimidinone (UPy) moieties in the main chains, a novel type of visible-light-induced self-healing water-dispersed supramolecular polymers (DTe-WSPs) with outstanding healing properties were developed. The prepared DTe-WSPs emulsions showed excellent emulsion stability, and highly transparent DTe-WSPs films obtained from these emulsions exhibited much improved mechanical properties and fast recoverability after the incorporation of UPy groups, owing to the physical cross-links formed by quadruple hydrogen-bonded UPy moieties. Supertoughness (105.2 MJ m-3) and fast self-healability under visible light (healing efficiency of 85.6% within 10 min) could be achieved simultaneously with the adjustment of the ditelluride content and the UPy content, and the toughness of our polymers is higher than those of the reported ambient temperature self-healable polymers. The visible-light-induced ditelluride metathesis is a predominant factor in the healing process of DTe-WSPs, and the ditelluride metathesis triggered by photothermy and hydrogen bonding could also afford the ultimate healing result. Meanwhile, DTe-WSPs can be reprocessed using visible light, providing a facile way to process polymers at mild conditions. To our surprise, the "living" DTe-WSPs exhibited the ability to initiate the polymerization of vinyl monomers under visible light, which is first reported for water-dispersed self-healing polymers. We considered the elaborated design philosophy, based on the readily available, clean, safe, and easily manipulated visible light, which can not only provide inspiration for preparing fast ambient temperature self-healing and reprocessing polymer materials with robust mechanical properties but also develop a new macroinitiator to initiate the ambient temperature polymerization of vinyl monomers.

Abstract
The rapid development in wearable electronics has spurred a great deal of interest in flexible energy storage devices, particularly fiber-shaped energy storage devices (FSESDs), such as fiber-shaped supercapacitors (FSSCs) and fiber-shaped batteries (FSBs). Depending on their electrode configurations, FSESDs can contain five differently structured electrodes, including parallel fiber electrodes (PFEs), twisted fiber electrodes (TFDs), wrapped fiber electrodes (WFEs), coaxial fiber devices (CFEs), and rolled electrodes (REs). Various rational methods have been devised to incorporate these fiber-shaped electrodes into multifunctional FSESDs, including fiber-shaped supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, lithium-air batteries, zinc-air batteries, and aluminum-air batteries. Although significant progress has been made in FSESDs, it remains a major challenge to make high-performance fiber-shaped devices at low cost. A focused and critical review of the recent advancements in fiber-shaped supercapacitors and lithium-ion batteries is provided here. The pros and cons for each of the aforementioned electrode configurations and FSESDs are discussed, along with current challenges and future opportunities for FSESDs.

Abstract
A bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst composed of iron carbide (Fe3 C) nanoparticles encapsulated by nitrogen doped carbon sheets is reported. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray absorption near edge structure revealed the presence of several kinds of active sites (Fe-Nx sites, N doping sites) and the modulated electron structure of nitrogen doped carbon sheets. Fe3 C@N-CSs shows excellent oxygen evolution and oxygen reduction catalytic activity owing to the modulated electron structure by encapsulated Fe3 C core via biphasic interfaces electron interaction, which can lower the free energy of intermediate, strengthen the bonding strength and enhance conductivity. Meanwhile, the contribution of the Fe-Nx sites, N doping sites and the effect of Fe3 C core for the electrocatalytic oxygen reaction is originally revealed. The Fe3 C@N-CSs air electrode-based zinc-air battery demonstrates a high open circuit potential of 1.47 V, superior charge-discharge performance and long lifetime, which outperforms the noble metal-based zinc-air battery.

Abstract
A self-healing electrode is an electrical conductor that can repair internal damage by itself, similar to human skin. Since self-healing electrodes are based on polymers and hydrogels, these components are still limited by low electrical conductivity and mechanical strength. In this study, we designed an electrically conductive, mechanically strong, and printable self-healing electrode using liquid crystal graphene oxide (LCGO) and silver nanowires (AgNWs). The conductive ink was easily prepared by simply mixing LCGO and AgNWs solutions. The ultrathin (3 μm thick) electrode can be printed in various shapes, such as a butterfly, in a freestanding state. The maximum conductivity and strength of the LCGO/AgNW composite were 17 800 S/cm and 4.2 MPa, respectively; these values are 24 and 4 times higher, respectively, than those of a previously developed self-healing electrode. The LCGO/AgNW composite self-healed internal damage in ambient conditions with moisture and consequently recovered 96.8% electrical conductivity and 95% mechanical toughness compared with the undamaged state. The electrical properties of the composite exhibited metallic tendencies. Therefore, these results suggest that the composite can be used as an artificial electronic skin that detects environmental conditions, such as compression and temperature. This self-healing artificial electronic skin could be applied to human condition monitoring and robotic sensing systems.

Abstract
The key issue holding back the application of solid polymeric electrolytes in high-energy density lithium metal batteries is the contradictory requirements of high ion conductivity and mechanical stability. In this work, self-healable solid polymeric electrolytes (SHSPEs) with rigid-flexible backbones and high ion conductivity are synthesized by a facile condensation polymerization approach. The all-solid Li metal full batteries based on the SHSPEs possess freely bending flexibility and stable cycling performance as a result of the more disciplined metal Li plating/stripping, which have great implications as long-lifespan energy sources compatible with other wearable devices.

Abstract
VOPO4 ⋅x H2 O has been proposed as a cathode for rechargeable aqueous zinc batteries. However, it undergoes significant voltage decay in conventional Zn(OTf)2 electrolyte. Investigations show the decomposition of VOPO4 ⋅x H2 O into VOx in the electrolyte and voltage drops after losing the inductive effect from polyanions.PO4 3- was thus added to shift the decomposition equilibrium. A high concentration of cheap, highly soluble ZnCl2 salt in the electrolyte further prevents VOPO4 ⋅x H2 O dissolution. The cathode shows stable capacity and voltage retentions in 13 m ZnCl2 /0.8 m H3 PO4 aqueous electrolyte, in direct contrast to that in Zn(OTf)2 where the decomposition product VOx provides most electrochemical activity over cycling. Sequential H+ and Zn2+ intercalations into the structure are revealed, delivering a high capacity (170 mAh g-1 ). This work shows the potential issue with polyanion cathodes in zinc batteries and proposes an effective solution using fundamental chemical principles.

Abstract
Self-healing technology promises a generation of innovation in cross-cutting subjects ranging from electronic skins, to wearable electronics, to point-of-care biomedical sensing modules. Recently, scientists have successfully pulled off significant advances in self-healing components including sensors, energy devices, transistors, and even integrated circuits. Lasers, one of the most important light sources, integrated with autonomous self-healability should be endowed with more functionalities and opportunities; however, the study of self-healing lasers is absent in all published reports. Here, the soft and self-healable random laser (SSRL) is presented. The SSRL can not only endure extreme external strain but also withstand several cutting/healing test cycles. Particularly, the damaged SSRL enables its functionality to be restored within just few minutes without the need of additional energy, chemical/electrical agents, or other healing stimuli, truly exhibiting a supple yet robust laser prototype. It is believed that SSRL can serve as a vital building block for next-generation laser technology as well as follow-on self-healing optoelectronics.

Abstract
The practical application of advanced personalized electronics is inseparable from flexible, durable, and even self-healable energy storage devices. However, the mechanical and self-healing performance of supercapacitors is still limited at present. Herein, highly transparent, stretchable, and self-healable poly(2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) (PAMPSA)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/LiCl polyelectrolytes were facilely prepared by one-step radical polymerization. The cooperation of PAMPSA and PVA significantly increased the mechanical and self-healing capacity of the polyelectrolyte, which exhibited superior stretchability of 938 %, stress of 112.68 kPa, good electrical performance (ionic conductivity up to 20.6 mS cm-1 ), and high healing efficiency of 92.68 % after 24 h. After assembly with polypyrrole-coated single-walled carbon nanotubes, the resulting as-prepared supercapacitor had excellent electrochemical properties with high areal capacitance of 297 mF cm-2 at 0.5 mA cm-2 and good rate capability (218 mF cm-2 at 5 mA cm-2 ). Besides, after cutting in two the supercapacitor recovered 99.2 % of its original specific capacitance after healing for 24 h at room temperature. The results also showed negligible change in the interior contact resistance of the supercapacitor after ten cutting/healing cycles. The present work provides a possible solution for the development of smart and durable energy storage devices with low cost for next-generation intelligent electronics.

Abstract
Given their durability and long-term stability, self-healable hydrogels have, in the past few years, emerged as promising replacements for the many brittle hydrogels currently being used in preclinical or clinical trials. To this end, the incompatibility between hydrogel toughness and rapid self-healing remains unaddressed, and therefore most of the self-healable hydrogels still face serious challenges within the dynamic and mechanically demanding environment of human organs/tissues. Furthermore, depending on the target tissue, the self-healing hydrogels must comply with a wide range of properties including electrical, biological, and mechanical. Notably, the incorporation of nanomaterials into double-network hydrogels is showing great promise as a feasible way to generate self-healable hydrogels with the above-mentioned attributes. Here, the recent progress in the development of multifunctional and self-healable hydrogels for various tissue engineering applications is discussed in detail. Their potential applications within the rapidly expanding areas of bioelectronic hydrogels, cyborganics, and soft robotics are further highlighted.

Abstract
Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have the potential to enhance the safety and energy density of lithium batteries. However, poor interfacial contact between the lithium metal anode and SPE leads to high interfacial resistance and low specific capacity of the battery. In this work, we present a novel strategy to improve this solid-solid interface problem and maintain good interfacial contact during battery cycling by introducing an adaptive buffer layer (ABL) between the Li metal anode and SPE. The ABL consists of low molecular-weight polypropylene carbonate , poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), and lithium salt. Rheological experiments indicate that ABL is viscoelastic and that it flows with a higher viscosity compared to PEO-only SPE. ABL also has higher ionic conductivity than PEO-only SPE. In the presence of ABL, the interface resistance of the Li/ABL/SPE/LiFePO4 battery only increased 20% after 150 cycles, whereas that of the battery without ABL increased by 117%. In addition, because ABL makes a good solid-solid interface contact between the Li metal anode and SPE, the battery with ABL delivered an initial discharge specific capacity of >110 mA·h/g, which is nearly twice that of the battery without ABL, which is 60 mA·h/g. Moreover, ABL is able to maintain electrode-electrolyte interfacial contact during battery cycling, which stabilizes the battery Coulombic efficiency.

Abstract
High-performance solid-state electrolytes with healability to repair mechanical damages are important for the fabrication of Li-ion batteries (LIBs) with enhanced safety and prolonged service life. In this study, we present the fabrication of healable, highly conductive, flexible, and nonflammable ionogel electrolytes for use in LIBs by loading ionic liquids and Li salts within a hydrogen-bonded supramolecular poly(ionic liquid) copolymer network. The ionogel electrolytes exhibit ionic conductivities as high as 10-3 S/cm, which is comparable to the conventional liquid electrolytes. The Li/LiFePO4 battery assembled with the ionogel membrane exhibits excellent cycling performance and delivers a steady high discharge capacity of 147.5 mA h g-1 and Coulombic efficiency of 99.7% after 120 cycles at the charge/discharge rate of 0.2 C. Importantly, the ionogel membranes can heal damages outside or inside a battery because of the reversible nature of the supramolecular interactions between the components. The damaged ionogel membranes after being healed can effectively restore the original performance of the LIBs.

Abstract
The widespread implementation of lithium-metal batteries (LMBs) with Li metal anodes of high energy density has long been prevented due to the safety concern of dendrite-related failure. Here a solid-liquid hybrid electrolyte consisting of composite polymer electrolyte (CPE) soaked with liquid electrolyte is reported. The CPE membrane composes of self-healing polymer and Li+-conducting nanoparticles. The electrodeposited lithium metal in a uniform, smooth, and dense behavior is achieved using a hybrid electrolyte, rather than dendritic and pulverized structure for a conventional separator. The Li foil symmetric cells can deliver remarkable cycling performance at ultrahigh current density up to 20 mA cm-2 with an extremely low voltage hysteresis over 1500 cycles. A large areal capacity of 10 mAh cm-2 at 10 mA cm-2 could also be obtained. Furthermore, the Li|Li4Ti5O12 cells based on the hybrid electrolyte achieve a higher specific capacity and longer cycling life than those using conventional separators. The superior performances are mainly attributed to strong adhesion, volume conformity, and self-healing functionality of CPE, providing a novel approach and a significant step toward cost-effective and large-scalable LMBs.
