Self-healing actuatable electroluminescent fibres.

ABSTRACT: Alternating-current electroluminescent fibres are promising candidates as light sources for smart textiles and soft machines. However, physical damage from daily use causes device deterioration or failure, making self-healable electroluminescent fibres attractive. In addition, soft robots could benefit from light-emitting combined with magnetically actuated functions. Here, we present a self-healing and actuatable Scalable Hydrogel-clad Ionotronic Nickel-core Electroluminescent (SHINE) fibre which achieves a record luminance of 1068 cd × m^-2 at 5.7 V × μm^-1. The SHINE fibre can self-heal across all constituent layers after being severed, recovering 98.6% of pristine luminance and maintaining for over 10 months. SHINE fibre is also magnetically actuatable due to the fe
