Area of Science:

  • Materials Science and Engineering
  • Soft Robotics and Wearable Technology
  • Energy Harvesting and Storage

Background:

  • Next-generation ionic skin (i-skin) requires self-healing and self-powering capabilities for advanced applications.
  • Existing self-powered i-skins often lack complete self-repair functionality, limiting device longevity and performance.
  • Achieving full-device autonomous self-healability alongside self-powering remains a significant challenge in soft electronics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel magnetoelectric ionic skin (MIS) with simultaneous self-powering and complete autonomous self-healability.
  • To present a versatile platform for creating intrinsically self-healing, multi-layered soft devices.
  • To explore the potential of the developed MIS for embodied energy technologies and human-machine interfaces.

Main Methods:

  • A self-bonding strategy was employed using an all-polymerizable deep eutectic solvent (PDES).
  • A three-layered magnetoelectric ionic skin (MIS) structure was fabricated.
  • The mechanical and electrochemical performance recovery of the MIS was assessed without external stimuli.

Main Results:

  • The developed PDES-based MIS demonstrated simultaneous self-powering and full-device autonomous self-healability.
  • The MIS could restore both mechanical and electrochemical performance at the device level after damage.
  • The material exhibited compatibility with magnetic and conductive components, enabling various 3D architectures.

Conclusions:

  • The presented self-bonding strategy successfully yields a fully self-healing and self-powered magnetoelectric ionic skin.
  • This versatile platform offers a user-friendly approach for fabricating intrinsic self-healing soft devices.
  • The developed MIS holds significant promise for advancing embodied energy technologies, AI, and human-machine interfaces.
