Autonomous Chemistry Enabling Environment-Adaptive Electrochemical Energy Storage Devices

Next-generation electronics that are fused into the human body can play a key role in future intelligent communication, smart healthcare, and human enhancement applications. As a promising energy supply component for smart biointegrated electronics, environment-adaptive electrochemical energy storage (EES) devices with complementary adaptability and functions have garnered huge interest in the past decade. Owing to the advancements in autonomous chemistry, which regulate the constitutional dynamic networks in materials, EES devices have witnessed higher freedom of autonomous adaptability in terms of mechano-adaptable, biocompatibility, and stimuli-response properties for biointegrated and smart applications. In this mini-review, we summarize the recent progress in emerging environment-adaptive EES devices enabled by the constitutional dynamic network of mechanical adaptable materials, biocompatible materials, and stimuli-responsive supramolecular polymer materials. Finally, the challenges and perspectives of autonomous chemistry on the environment-adaptive EES devices are discussed.
