The Li-Ion battery technology has seen a significant advance in the last decade. For example a three-fold increase in energy density along with a 6-fold reduction in price has resulted in a significant uptake of electric vehicles (EVs) in the transportation sector. It is therefore a forgone conclusion that increasing market share of EVs in

Thanks to their high efficiency and long cycle life, supercapacitors are increasingly being used in consumer electronics, automotive applications, and beyond. However, these capacitors can suffer damage when subjected to elevated temperatures and mechanical stress. A recent review article [1] outlines various strategies to mitigate such internal damage through self-healing mechanisms-both intrinsic and extrinsic-based on

Supercapacitors are of great benefit for numerous markets particularly automotive, consumer electronics and storage systems for the grid, which require highly reliable energy sources with good power delivery. As a pulse power source, supercapacitors constitute a great supplement to batteries used for energy storage during periods of peak loading. Fabrication of high energy and power
