Lithium–Ion Battery Data: From Production to Prediction

Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This article reviews the generation, processing, and open use of data in the battery field, giving a complete overview of processing. And integrate a series of battery concepts and tools. But there are some problems in this article, which I think is acceptable after modification.Suggestions are as follows.

1. The title position of the table is not uniform. For example, the headings of Table 1 are placed below the table, while the headings of other tables are placed below the table. And whether the title of the table ends with "." should be uniform.

2. The font size in the figure is different. For example, the size of figure 7, 9, 11 are inconsistent with other figures, it is recommended to change the size to make it easier for readers to read clearly.

3. Some small pictures are not named, such as Figure 4 and 5. It is recommended to accurately name each small picture, such as: (a) (b) (c) (d), etc., to facilitate readers to distinguish.

4. The graphic description is inconsistent. For example, in Figure 11, the title is (left) (right), and the figure is placed up and down.

5. The font of references is not uniform. For example: 50.

6. The description is unclear. For example, 3.2.1 describes the Segmentation principle but does not describe the graph in detail.

7. Some new published articles on lithium-ion batteries can be cited, such as Vacuum 193 (2021) 110537. Small 2023, 2206563.

Moderate English changes required, English can be improved, English language and style are fine, spell check required.

Reviewer 2 Report

In this review article, authors summarized the data generation with different advanced analysis. It is a good topic to write a review article, which provide good knowledge for readers understanding how the battery data produced. In general, the manuscript is well organized. However, there are still some issues to be addressed. A minor revision is suggested before its acceptance.

1.     More contents on the manuscript can be added in abstract section.

2.     Before the general introduction of Li ion battery, it is suggested to introduce the different energy storage sources with some more recent supporting articles, such as aqueous ammonium-ion batteries (Chemical Engineering Journal, 2023, 458, 141381); Zn-air battery (Molecules 28 (5), 2147, 2023); etc.

3.     The contribution section is suggested to be placed at the end of main text.

4.     It is suggested to add conclusion section to provide solid conclusion of this review articles.

5.     One more section on the perspectives should be added to show the challenges and possible solutions, which are guidance for the future study in this field.

6.     Some of the section contains too many paragraphs. It is suggested to merge them with good logic.

7.     There are still some typos and grammar issues in the manuscript. Authors should carefully recheck the whole manuscript.

8.     Authors should recheck the references to make sure full information is provided, such as volume, pages, etc. In addition, the format of references should be uniform.

Reviewer 3 Report

The authors have done great job on explaining various techniques as well as the providing the potential path forward for future battery research. Only minor issue that needs to be addressed before publication is  missing labels for Figure 4 and 5.
