About

Yilin Lu is pioneering the development of next-generation energy storage devices that are not only soft and stretchable but also capable of autonomous self-healing. Her key research areas lie at the intersection of flexible electronics and advanced materials, with a particular focus on designing self-healing batteries and functional gels. In her highly cited 2022 work (86 citations), Lu introduced a groundbreaking full-device autonomous self-healing stretchable soft battery constructed from self-bonded eutectogels. This achievement is notable because previous self-healable batteries were limited to healing only individual components—such as electrodes or electrolytes—rather than achieving complete, device-level self-repairability. By engineering an all-component self-bonding system, Lu’s design enables the entire battery to recover its mechanical and electrochemical performance after damage, addressing a critical bottleneck in wearable and implantable electronics. Her contributions are shaping the future of resilient, human-friendly power sources, demonstrating how materials chemistry can overcome the fragility of conventional rigid batteries. With her work garnering growing attention, Yilin Lu is establishing herself as a rising leader in sustainable, stretchable energy storage technologies.
