description Self-healing high-performance supercapacitors represent the state-of-the-art in energy storage development, which combines long-term durability and efficiency with the self-repair functionality after mechanical or other damages. In this review, a discussion about the very basis of supercapacitor technology is presented by studying the mechanisms and materials used for making supercapacitors self-healable, among other things, based on redox-active materials. This review further examines the performance analysis, applications, challenges, and prospects of self-healing supercapacitors used in consumer electronics, electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems. While these supercapacitors may be very promising for extending device lifetimes and reducing maintenance costs, challenges remain for matching the efficiency of self-healing with electrochemical performance, scalability, economic viability, and environmental sustainability. Some of the identified future research directions entail the inclusion of cost-effectiveness in materials, their integration with multifunctional and hybrid systems, and the use of advanced technologies such as machine learning to accelerate material discovery. In overcoming these challenges, self-healing supercapacitors could inspire new frontiers of energy storage applications by achieving sustainability and resiliency in next-generation technologies.
