Abstract
With the rapid demand for high-performance energy storage systems, lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) have emerged as the predominant technology in various applications. However, ensuring the safety and reliability of these batteries remains a critical challenge. Ultrasound-based detection, as a non-destructive and effective method for monitoring the internal state of LiBs, has gradually emerged as a valuable tool to enhance battery safety, reliability, and performance. This paper provides a review of recent advancements in the field of acoustic detection for LiBs, delving into the fundamental principles and mechanisms governing the propagation of acoustic signals within these batteries. This paper reviews the correlation between these acoustic signals and the operational status of the battery, as well as the association with internal side reactions during abnormal conditions. The strengths and limitations of current ultrasound-based detection methods are emphasized, offering insights to guide researchers, engineers, and industry professionals in advancing the field. The review aims to foster the development of robust ultrasound-based detection solutions for the next generation of energy storage systems.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are currently the predominant energy storage power source. However, the urgent issues of enhancing electrochemical performance, prolonging lifetime, preventing thermal runaway-caused fires, and intelligent application are obstacles to their applications. Herein, bio-inspired electrodes owning spatiotemporal management of self-healing, fast ion transport, fire-extinguishing, thermoresponsive switching, recycling, and flexibility are overviewed comprehensively, showing great promising potentials in practical application due to the significantly enhanced durability and thermal safety of LIBs. Taking advantage of the self-healing core-shell structures, binders, capsules, or liquid metal alloys, these electrodes can maintain the mechanical integrity during the lithiation-delithiation cycling. After the incorporation of fire-extinguishing binders, current collectors, or capsules, flame retardants can be released spatiotemporally during thermal runaway to ensure safety. Thermoresponsive switching electrodes are also constructed though adding thermally responsive components, which can rapidly switch LIB off under abnormal conditions and resume their functions quickly when normal operating conditions return. Finally, the challenges of bio-inspired electrode designs are presented to optimize the spatiotemporal management of LIBs. It is anticipated that the proposed electrodes with spatiotemporal management will not only promote industrial application, but also strengthen the fundamental research of bionics in energy storage.

Abstract
Large-scale lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are overtaking as power sources for electric vehicles and grid-scale energy-storage systems for renewable sources. Accordingly, large amounts of LIBs are expected to be discarded in the near future. Recycling technologies for waste LIBs, particularly for valuable rare metals (Li, Co, and Ni) used in cathode active materials, need to be developed to construct continuous LIB supply chains. Various recovery methodologies, such as pyrometallurgy, hydrometallurgy, and direct recycling, as well as their advantages, disadvantages, and technical features, are briefly introduced. We review the electrochemical performances of these cathode active materials based on recycled rare metals from LIB waste. Moreover, the physicochemical properties and electrochemical performance of the cathode active materials with impurities incorporated during recycling, which have high academic significance, are outlined. In hydrometallurgy-based LIB recycling, the complete removal of impurities in cathode active materials is not realistic for the mass and sustainable production of LIBs; thus, optimal control of the impurity levels is of significance. Meanwhile, the studies on the direct recycling of LIB showed the necessity of almost complete impurity removal and restoration of physicochemical properties in cathode active materials. This review provides a survey of the technological outlook of reusing cathode active materials from waste LIBs.

Abstract
Nowadays, the ongoing electrical vehicles and energy storage devices give a great demand of high-energy-density lithium battery. The commercial graphite anode has been reached the limit of the theoretical capacity. Herein, we introduce lithium metal anode to demonstrate the promising anode which can replace graphite. Lithium metal has a high theoretical capacity and the lowest electrochemical potential. Hence, using lithium metal as the anode material of lithium batteries can reach the limit of energy and power density of lithium batteries. However, lithium metal has huge flaw such as unstable SEI layer, volume change and dendrites formation. Therefore, we give a review of the lithium metal anode on its issues and introduce the existing research to overcome these. Besides, we give the perspective that the engineering problems also restrict the commercial use of lithium metal. This review provides the reasonable method to enhance the lithium metal performance and give the development direction for the subsequent research.

Abstract
The use of cation-exchange membranes as electrolytes for lithium metal batteries can prevent the formation of lithium dendrites during extended cycling and guarantee safe battery operation. In our study, the Nafion-212 membrane in lithium form solvated by a mixture of ethylene carbonate and propylene carbonate (EC-PC) was used as an electrolyte in a lithium metal battery with the LiFePO4 cathode. The Nafion-212-EC-PC electrolyte is electrochemically stable up to 6 V, indicating its suitability for high-energy density batteries. It has an ionic conductivity of 1.9 × 10-4 S/cm at 25 °C and a high lithium transference number. The symmetric Li|Nafion-212-EC-PC|Li cell shows a very low overvoltage of ~0.3 V at a current density of ±0.1 mA/cm2. At 25 °C, the LiFePO4|Nafion-212-EC-PC|Li battery exhibits a capacity of 141, 136, 125, and 100 mAh/g at 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, and 1C rates, respectively. It maintains a capacity of 120 mAh/g at 0 °C and 0.1C with stable performance for 50 charge/discharge cycles. The mechanism of conductivity and capacity retention at low temperatures is discussed.

Abstract
The degradation of drugs is a substantial problem since it affects the safety and effectiveness of pharmaceutical products, as well as their influence on the environment. A novel system of three potentiometric cross-sensitive sensors (using the Donnan potential (DP) as an analytical signal) and a reference electrode was developed for the analysis of UV-degraded sulfacetamide drugs. The membranes for DP-sensors were prepared by a casting procedure from a dispersion of perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) polymer, containing carbon nanotubes (CNTs), whose surface was preliminarily modified with carboxyl, sulfonic acid, or (3-aminopropyl)trimethoxysilanol groups. A correlation between the sorption and transport properties of the hybrid membranes and cross-sensitivity of the DP-sensor to sulfacetamide, its degradation product, and inorganic ions was revealed. The analysis of the UV-degraded sulfacetamide drugs using the multisensory system based on hybrid membranes with optimized properties did not require a pre-separation of the components. The limits of detection of sulfacetamide, sulfanilamide, and sodium were 1.8 × 10-7, 5.8 × 10-7, and 1.8 × 10-7 M. The relative errors of the determination of the components of the UV-degraded sulfacetamide drugs were 2-3% (at 6-8% relative standard deviation). PFSA/CNT hybrid materials provided the stable work of the sensors for at least one year.

Abstract
Lithium metal batteries are one of the more promising replacements for lithium-ion batteries owing to their ability to reach high energy densities. The main problem limiting their commercial application is the formation of dendrites, which significantly reduces their durability and renders the batteries unsafe. In the present work, we used a single-ion conducting gel polymer electrolyte based on a poly(ethylene-ran-butylene)-block-polystyrene (SEBS) block copolymer, which was functionalized with benzenesulfonylimide anions and plasticized by a mixture of ethylene carbonate and dimethylacetamide (SSEBS-Ph-EC-DMA), with a solvent uptake of 160% (~12 solvent molecules per one functional group of the membrane). The SSEBS-Ph-EC-DMA electrolyte exhibits an ionic conductivity of 0.6 mSm∙cm−1 at 25 °C and appears to be a cationic conductor (TLi+ = 0.72). SSEBS-Ph-EC-DMA is electrochemically stable up to 4.1 V. Symmetrical Li|Li cells; further, with regard to SSEBS-Ph-EC-DMA membrane electrolytes, it showed a good performance (~0.10 V at first cycles and <0.23 V after 700 h of cycling at ±0.1 mA∙cm−2 and ±0.05 mAh∙cm−2). The LiFePO4|SSEBS-Ph-EC-DMA|Li battery showed discharge capacity values of 100 mAh∙g−1 and a 100% Coulomb efficiency, at a cycling rate of 0.1C.
