Abstract

Silicon-based anodes are among the most promising candidates for next-generation lithium-ion batteries due to their exceptionally high theoretical capacity. However, their practical application is severely limited by extreme volumetric expansion during lithiation, leading to mechanical fracture, loss of electrical contact, and rapid capacity fading. In this work, we propose a novel self-healing anode architecture based on the integration of microcapsules containing healing agents directly within the silicon anode matrix. The proposed system enables autonomous repair of microcracks generated during electrochemical cycling, thereby restoring mechanical integrity and electrical conductivity in real time. We present a detailed conceptual design, material selection strategy, activation mechanism, and technical feasibility analysis. This study aims to establish a foundational framework for self-healing electrochemical energy storage systems and opens new pathways toward durable, high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries.
