Article Abstract
Self-healing binder is a prospective and efficient strategy to alleviate volume expansion of silicon (Si) anodes. However, excellent mechanical strength and healing ability tend to be mutually exclusive, due to enhanced tensile stress limit by twining polymer chains, while inhibiting polymer diffusion rate and inducing healing failure by blocked chains. Herein, inspired by the planning course of boat and paddles, a novel self-healing binder (PVA-4FBA-PEI) is designed and synthesized with mobile parallel structure and twining-blocked characteristics. The boat-like intermediate (4-formylphenyl) boronic acid (4FBA) blocks entanglement of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and poly(ethyleneimine) (PEI) chains, where two parallel chains as paddles can simultaneously form to ensure rapid diffusion of chains during bond breakage. Remarkably, it endows dynamic synergistic covalent bonds via C═N and B─O─C junctions within 4FBA, providing the binder with an ultrafast self-healing time of merely 2 min. Moreover, the binder integrates superior plasticity and flexibility of each chain, showing a high tensile strength (14.4 MPa) and stretchability (1163%) among state-of-the-art polymer binders, thus significantly improving structural integrity and electrochemical stability of Si anode during cycling. This work proposes a dynamic reversible structure via figurative molecular coordination, affording a rational viewpoint on synergetic functionalities of polymer binders for Si anodes.

Elastomers play important roles in major equipment, mega facilities, and other advanced applications. However, in practical applications, it is often subjected to extreme environmental conditions, such as repeated cyclic mechanical loading, high temperatures, external impacts, etc. Designing an elastomer with high strength/toughness and resistant to fatigue is particularly challenging.

Recent advances in multifunctional hydrogels have offered promising strategy for full-thickness wound healing. Nevertheless, it remains challenging to fabricate hydrogels that simultaneously exhibit shear-thinning behavior, adhesive property, self-healing, biocompatibility, and antibacterial activity through a green and feasible approach. Herein, we developed a novel non-covalent double network hydrogel through simple mixing of silk fibroin (SF), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and silicotungstic acid (SiW) solutions to promote full-thickness skin wound healing.

Airy beams, celebrated for their self-acceleration, diffraction-free propagation, and self-healing properties, have garnered significant interest in optics and photonics, with applications spanning ultrafast optics, laser processing, nonlinear optics, and optical communications. Recent research primarily aims at independent control of Airy beams in both spatial and spatiotemporal domains. In a pioneering approach, we have successfully generated and controlled a spatiotemporal coupled (STc) Airy-Airy wavepacket, achieving its rotation while preserving vertical distribution in the spatiotemporal domain.

Developing a sustainable, in-situ responsive sensing method for continuously monitoring water quality is crucial for water use and quality management globally. Conventional water quality monitoring sensors face challenges in achieving ultrafast response time and are non-recyclable. We present a self-assembly approach for a closed-loop recyclable, autonomous self-healing and transparent dielectric material with nanostructured amphiphobic surfaces (termed 'ReSURF').

Self-gelling powders have recently emerged as promising tissue adhesives for bleeding wound care. However, to simultaneously achieve strong tissue adhesion and on-demand removal without debridement remains a significant challenge. Here, we developed an ultrafast self-gelling powder compositing of acrylic acid/2-aminoethyl methacrylate copolymers (AMA) and chitooligosaccharide (COS).
