Self-Healable Battery

Caption

Battery, heal thyself: a new family of solid-state flexible aqueous lithium-ion batteries that can self-heal has been created using aligned carbon nanotube sheets loaded with LiMn2O4 and LiTi2(PO4)3 nanoparticles on a polymer substrate as electrodes and Li2SO4/carboxymethylcellulose as gel electrolyte and separator. The battery performance was well maintained after repeated cycles of cutting and self-healing.
