Abstract Simultaneously achieving mechanical robustness and autonomous self-healing in ionogels remains a fundamental challenge for durable, skin-like electronics. Conventional approaches often improve mechanical strength by introducing rigid or densely cross-linked polymer networks, but such strategies inevitably restrict polymer chain mobility and hinder dynamic bond reconfig…

Abstract Reliable battery operation in sub-zero environments is critical for polar exploration, military missions, and space applications. However, conventional lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) face inherent limitations at low temperatures by intrinsic hurdle of poor ionic mobility in liquid electrolytes. All-solid-state batteries (ASSBs), which replace liquid electrolytes with non…
