were the two important inventions that significantly improved the fuel efficiency in a gas turbine engine, as they allowed higher inlet temperatures, [1,2] however, to further improve the thrust-to-weight ratio of the engine, light weight and high-temperature capability of the turbine parts should be enhanced. A promising material for the next-generation aircraft engines is silicon carbide matrix reinforced with silicon carbide fiber (SiC f /SiC m ). [3] The lightweight, good hardness, and thermal stability at the target temperatures of SiC made it an ideal replacement for superalloy. [4,5] SiC-based ceramic-matrix composites have been researched for the components of gas turbine engine, from first-stage turbine vane to high-pressure turbine blade. [6][7][8] However, a critical disadvantage of SiC for turbine blades is the rapid destruction of this material in a steam environment. [9] An environmental barrier coating (EBC) has been investigated to replace TBC when protecting the SiC f /SiC m blade from water vapor. Like TBC, EBC is also a multilayer structure, but the top ceramic coating should have excellent resistance not only to heat but also to corrosion in water vapor. Rare earth (RE) silicates, RE 2 Si 2 O 7 or RESiO 5 (RE = Lu, Sc, Y, Yb, etc.), have been considered as possible topcoat materials due to their excellent resistance to water vapor. Among explored RE silicates, ytterbium disilicate (Yb 2 Si 2 O 7 ) and ytterbium monosilicate (Yb 2 SiO 5 ) are most widely studied for the topcoat layer because these silicates have low thermal conductivity, thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) similar to that of SiC substrate, and the highest water corrosion resistance. [9][10][11][12] However, the research costs for Yb-based materials are still too expensive to implement on real gas turbine blade systems. Therefore, yttrium(Y)-based EBC materials, such as Y 2 Si 2 O 7 [13] or Y 2 Ti 2 O 7 , [14] also having good corrosion resistance, but cheaper than Yb 2 Si 2 O 7 , are considered as alternative candidates.Yb 2 Si 2 O 7 and other ceramic topcoat candidates are brittle with low fracture toughness and strength, [15,16] making them easily crack due to foreign debris impact or residual stress from thermal cycling. Cracks can propagate to the lower layers of the EBC, which leads to degradation, delamination, and spalling of this structure. [17] Therefore, inspired by the phenomenon of bone healing in nature, [18,19] structural ceramics with selfhealing ability were studied to solve this problem. [8,[20][21][22][23] At highThe environmental barrier coating (EBC) has been studied to protect the silicon carbide blades of the next-generation gas turbine engine of aircraft from superheated water vapor. The upper ceramic layer of EBC is brittle, therefore, cracks can occur under the impact of foreign debris and spread toward the lower layers, which leads to the destruction of this structure. Therefore, self-healing structural ceramics is a promising solution to this problem, but they still have some critical drawbacks. First...
