Schematic of the self-healing polymer electrolyte design and lithium deposition behavior

Caption

Ultra-rapid self-healing polymer electrolytes are fabricated via a synergistic mechanism, integrating enhanced segmental dynamics from flexible ethoxy moieties (–CH2–CH2–O–) in ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate (ETPTA) and robust yet reversible intermolecular interactions enabled by 2-[3-(6-Methyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-yl)ureido]ethyl methacrylate (UPyMA)-derived quadruple hydrogen bonds. The systematic analysis confirms that the self-healing process does not compromise these electrochemical performances.
