The exponential growth of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) in electric vehicles and energy storage systems has amplified the urgent need for sustainable recycling strategies. Conventional pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical methods for LIB recycling...

In lithium-ion battery electrodes, repeated lithium insertion and extraction generate compositional gradients and volumetric changes that produce evolving stress fields and eigenstrains, accelerating mechanical degradation. While existing diffusion-i...

In the current industry standard of batch processing electrode slurry, manual cleaning processes pose significant challenges due to their labor intensive nature. The long-term objective is to expand the existing mixing process to create an intelligen...

Rechargeable zinc–air batteries (ZABs) are promising candidates for sustainable energy storage owing to their high theoretical energy density, safety, and environmental compatibility. However, their practical application is hindered by sluggish...

Improving electronic and ionic transport and the structural stability of electrode materials is essential for the development of advanced lithium-ion batteries. Despite its great potential as a high-power anode, Ti2Nb10O29 (TNO) still underperforms d...

The increasing adoption of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy systems has heightened the demand for efficient Battery Thermal Management Systems (BTMS). Effective thermal regulation is critical to prevent p...

This review critically examines photoresponsive supercapacitors based on TiO2/graphene hybrids, with a particular focus on their emerging dual role as energy-storage devices and environmental sensors. We first provide a concise overview of the electr...

Accurately predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) of lithium-ion batteries is critical for anticipating battery failure and enabling effective health management. However, existing RUL prediction methods often suffer from several limitations, incl...

Nowadays, spent batteries are considered a secondary and potential resource to meet the growing demand for lithium, a critical element widely used in the manufacturing of electric vehicles. Therefore, this work presents a hydrometallurgical method fo...

Factory announcements for battery production are increasing in number as European demand for battery cells grows. Using a Monte Carlo simulation (108 projects as of October 2025) with risk factors for individual projects, the predicted theoretical pr...
