a Scheme of the self-healing process. b Schematic illustrations for the healing mechanism of the damaged supercapacitor under the external stimuli, taking optical healing of current collector, magnetic healing of electrolyte, and electrical healing of electrode as examples. The dynamic Ag, Au–SR bond-induced interface reconstruction results in the healing of the crack region under the photothermal, magneto-thermal, and galvano-thermal effects.
