Self-healing liquid metal confined in carbon nanofibers/carbon nanotubes paper as a free-standing anode for flexible lithium-ion batteries

An integrated self-healing anode assembled via dynamic encapsulation of liquid metal with a 3D Ti3C2Tx network for enhanced lithium storage

“…The impedance decreases after the cyclic process ( R ct = 45.6 Ω before cycling and R ct = 27.8 Ω after cycling) and can be attributed to the electrochemical activation and the removal of the oxide layer. 37–40…”

Electrically Functional Self‐Healing Polymers: Design, Assessment, and Progress

“…Reproduced with permission. [74] Copyright 2022, Elsevier. and the hydrogen bonds were reconnected due to their high directionality, allowing cracks on the electrode surface to heal (Figure 9c,d).…”

“…developed a 3D flexible CNF/CNT@EGaIn NPs composite anode by loading eutectic gallium–indium alloy nanoparticles onto a self‐supported carbon nanofibers/carbon nanotubes (CNF/CNT) conductive network (Figure 9g). [ 74 ] The anode demonstrated excellent self‐healing ability, and good mechanical and electrical performance with a high initial capacity of 351 mAh g −1 at 1.6 A g −1 and a good cycling stability. Wu et al.…”

Amorphous TiO2 shells: an Essential Elastic Buffer Layer for High‐Performance Self‐Healing Eutectic GaSn Nano‐Droplet Room‐Temperature Liquid Metal Battery

“…Although nanosizing can improve electrode performance, liquid metal electrodes still suffer from instability of the SEI layer caused by the liquid/solid transition, in addition to agglomeration of the active material. Yu et al [18] encapsulated eGaIn nanodroplets in carbon nanotubes, achieving a lithiation capacity of 472 mAh g À 1 after 150 cycles. Wang et al [19] designed a GaSn@rGO ND core-shell structure to enhance the cycling performance and rate capability.…”
