Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201305682-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>The first mechanically and electrically self‐healing supercapacitor</bold> has been successfully fabricated. It exhibits excellent self‐healing performance with the restoration of the specific capacitance up to 85.7% of its original value even after the 5^th mechanical cutting. This achievement may provide a way to expand the lifetime of future energy storage devices and endow them with desirable economic and human safety attributes, as well as promote the development of next‐generation self‐healing electronics. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pghh50hrkh" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
