Abstract
Silicon is a promising anode material for lithium-ion batteries with its superior capacity. However, the volume change of the silicon anode seriously affects the electrode integrity and cycle stability. The waterborne guar gum (GG) binder has been regarded as one of the most promising binders for Si anodes. Here, a unique steric molecular combing approach based on guar gum, glycerol, and citric acid is proposed to develop a self-healing binder GGC, which would boost the structural stability of electrode materials. The GGC binder is mainly designed to weaken van der Waals' forces between polymers through the plasticizing effect of glycerol, combing and straightening the guar molecular chain of GG, and exposing the guar hydroxyl sites of GG and the carboxyl groups of citric acid. The condensation reaction between the hydroxyl sites of GG and the carboxyl groups of citric acid forms stronger hydrogen bonds, which can help achieve self-healing effect to cope with the severe volume expansion effect of silicone-based materials. Silicon electrode lithium-ion batteries prepared with GGC binders exhibit outstanding electrochemical performance, with a discharge capacity of up to 1579 mAh/g for 1200 cycles at 1 A/g, providing a high capacity retention rate of 96%. This paper demostrates the great potential of GGC binders in realizing electrochemical performance enhancement of silicon anode.

Abstract
Cellulose, an abundant and eco-friendly polymer, is a promising raw material to be used for preparing energy storage devices such as lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Despite the significance of cellulose functional groups in LIBs components, their structure-properties-application relationship remains largely unexplored. This article thoroughly reviews the current research status on cellulose-based materials for LIBs components, with a specific focus on the impact of functional groups in cellulose-based separators. The emphasis is on how these functional groups can enhance the mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties of the separators, potentially replacing conventional non-renewal material-derived components. Through a meticulous investigation, the present review reveals that certain functional groups, such as hydroxyl groups (-OH), carboxyl groups (-COOH), carbonyl groups (-CHO), ester functions (R-COO-R'), play a crucial role in improving the mechanical strength and wetting ability of cellulose-based separators. Additionally, the inclusion of phosphoric group (-PO3H2), sulfonic group (-SO3H) in separators can contribute to the enhanced thermal stability. The significance of comprehending the influence of functional groups in cellulose-based materials on LIBs performance is highlighted by these findings. Ultimately, this review explores the challenges and perspectives of cellulose-based LIBs, offering specific recommendations and prospects for future research in this area.

Abstract
Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have become indispensable energy-storage devices for various applications, ranging from portable electronics to electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. The performance and reliability of LIBs depend on several key components, including the electrodes, separators, and electrolytes. Among these, the choice of binder materials for the electrodes plays a critical role in determining the overall performance and durability of LIBs. This review introduces polymer binders that have been traditionally used in the cathode, anode, and separator materials of LIBs. Furthermore, it explores the problems identified in traditional polymer binders and examines the research trends in next-generation polymer binder materials for lithium-ion batteries as alternatives. To date, the widespread use of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as a solvent in lithium battery electrode production has been a standard practice. However, recent concerns regarding its high toxicity have prompted increased environmental scrutiny and the imposition of strict chemical regulations. As a result, there is a growing urgency to explore alternatives that are both environmentally benign and safer for use in battery manufacturing. This pressing need is further underscored by the rising demand for diverse binder research within the lithium battery industry. In light of the current emphasis on sustainability and environmental responsibility, it is imperative to investigate a range of binder options that can align with the evolving landscape of green and eco-conscious battery production. In this review paper, we introduce various binder options that can align with the evolving landscape of environmentally friendly and sustainable battery production, considering the current emphasis on battery performance enhancement and environmental responsibility.

Abstract
Fibrinogen, a circulating glycoprotein in the blood, is a potential biomarker of various health conditions. This work reports a flexible electrochemical sensor based on Ni-Fe layered double hydroxide (Ni-Fe LDH) coated on Nickel foam (Ni-Fe LDH/NF) to detect fibrinogen in simulated human body fluid (or blood plasma). The nanoflakes like morphology and hexagonal crystal structure of LDH, synthesized via urea hydrolysis assisted precipitation technique, are revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD) techniques, respectively. The fabricated sensor exhibits linearity in a wide dynamic range covering the physiological concentration, from 1 ng ml-1to 10 mg ml-1, with a sensitivity of 0.0914 mA (ng/ml)-1(cm)-2. This LDH-based sensor is found to have a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.097 ng ml-1and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 0.294 ng ml-1(S/N = 3.3). The higher selectivity of the sensor towards fibrinogen protein is verified in the presence of various interfering analytes such as dopamine, epinephrine, serotonin, glucose, potassium, chloride, and magnesium ions. The sensor is successful in the trace-level detection of fibrinogen in simulated body fluid with excellent recovery percentages ranging from 99.5% to 102.5%, proving the synergetic combination of 2D Ni-Fe layered double hydroxide and 3D nickel foam as a promising platform for electrochemical sensing that has immense potential in clinical applications.

Abstract
Electrochemical energy storage devices are one of the main protagonists in the ongoing technological advances in the energy field, whereby the development of efficient, sustainable, and durable storage systems aroused a great interest in the scientific community. Batteries, electrical double layer capacitors (EDLC), and pseudocapacitors are characterized in depth in the literature as the most powerful energy storage devices for practical applications. Pseudocapacitors bridge the gap between batteries and EDLCs, thus supplying both high energy and power densities, and transition metal oxide (TMO)-based nanostructures are used for their realization. Among them, WO3 nanostructures inspired the scientific community, thanks to WO3's excellent electrochemical stability, low cost, and abundance in nature. This review analyzes the morphological and electrochemical properties of WO3 nanostructures and their most used synthesis techniques. Moreover, a brief description of the electrochemical characterization methods of electrodes for energy storage, such as Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Galvanostatic Charge-Discharge (GCD), and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) are reported, to better understand the recent advances in WO3-based nanostructures, such as pore WO3 nanostructures, WO3/carbon nanocomposites, and metal-doped WO3 nanostructure-based electrodes for pseudocapacitor applications. This analysis is reported in terms of specific capacitance calculated as a function of current density and scan rate. Then we move to the recent progress made for the design and fabrication of WO3-based symmetric and asymmetric supercapacitors (SSCs and ASCs), thus studying a comparative Ragone plot of the state-of-the-art research.

Abstract
Several electrode materials have been developed to provide high energy density and a long calendar life at a low cost for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Iron (III) vanadate (FeVO4), a semiconductor material that follows insertion/extraction chemistry with a redox reaction and provides high theoretical capacity, is an auspicious choice of anode material for LIBs. The correlation is investigated between calcination temperatures, morphology, particle size, physicochemical properties, and their effect on the electrochemical performance of FeVO4 under different binders. The crystallite size, particle size, and tap density increase while the specific surface area (SBET) decreases upon increasing the calcination temperature (500 °C, 600 °C, and 700 °C). The specific capacities are reduced by increasing the calcination temperature and particle size. Furthermore, FeVO4 fabricated with different binders (35 wt.% PAA and 5 wt.% PVDF) and their electrochemical performance for LIBs was explored regarding the effectiveness of the PAA binder. FV500 (PAA and PVDF) initially delivered higher discharge/charge capacities of 1046.23/771.692 mAhg-1 and 1051.21/661.849 mAhg-1 compared to FV600 and FV700 at the current densities of 100 mAg-1, respectively. The intrinsic defects and presence of oxygen vacancy along with high surface area and smaller particle sizes efficiently enhanced the ionic and electronic conductivities and delivered high discharge/charge capacities for FeVO4 as an anode for LIBs.

Abstract
Recently, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been widely employed in automobiles, mining operations, space applications, marine vessels and submarines, and defense or military applications. As an anode, commercial carbon or carbon-based materials have some critical issues such as insufficient charge capacity and power density, low working voltage, deadweight formation, short-circuiting tendency initiated from dendrite formation, device warming up, etc., which have led to a search for carbon alternatives. Transition metal oxides (TMOs) such as NiO as an anode can be used as a substitute for carbon material. However, NiO has some limitations such as low coulombic efficiency, low cycle stability, and poor ionic conductivity. These limitations can be overcome through the use of different nanostructures. This present study reviews the integration of the electrochemical performance of binder involved nanocomposite of NiO as an anode of a LIB. This review article aims to epitomize the synthesis and characterization parameters such as specific discharge/charge capacity, cycle stability, rate performance, and cycle ability of a nanocomposite anode. An overview of possible future advances in NiO nanocomposites is also proposed.

Abstract
Polymer-based electrolytes have attracted ever-increasing attention for solid-state batteries due to their excellent flexibility and processability. Among them, poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF)-based electrolytes with high ionic conductivity, wide electrochemical stability window, and good mechanical properties show great potential and have been widely investigated by using different Li salts, solvents, and inorganic fillers. Here, we report the influence of the molecular weight of PVDF itself on the electrochemical properties of the electrolytes by using two kinds of common PVDF polymers, i.e., PVDF 761 and 5130. Our results demonstrate that the electrolyte with a larger molecular weight (PVDF 5130) has a denser structure and lower crystallinity, and thus much better electrochemical performance, than one with a smaller molecular weight (PVDF 761). With PVDF 5130, the LiFePO4-based solid-state cells present a steady cycling performance with a capacity retention of 85% after 1000 cycles at 1 C and 30 °C. The cycle life of the LiCoO2-based solid-state cells is also extended by using PVDF 5130.

Abstract
We report the effects of component ratios and mixing time on electrode slurry viscosity. Three component quantities were varied: active material (graphite), conductive material (carbon black), and polymer binder (carboxymethyl cellulose, CMC). The slurries demonstrated shear-thinning behavior, and suspension properties stabilized after a relatively short mixing duration. However, micrographs of the slurries suggested their internal structures did not stabilize after the same mixing time. Increasing the content of polymer binder CMC caused the greatest viscosity increase compared to that of carbon black and graphite.

Abstract
Second life and recycling of retired automotive lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have drawn growing attention, as large volumes of LIBs will retire in the coming decade. Here, we illustrate how battery chemistry, use, and recycling can influence the energy and environmental sustainability of LIBs. We find that LIBs with higher specific energy show better life cycle environmental performances, but their environmental benefits from second life application are less pronounced. Direct cathode recycling is found to be the most effective in reducing life cycle environmental impacts, while hydrometallurgical recycling provides limited sustainability benefits for high-performance LIBs. Battery design with less aluminum and alternative anode materials, such as silicon-based anode, could enable more sustainable LIB recycling. Compared to directly recycling LIBs after their electric vehicle use, carbon footprint and energy use of LIBs recycled after their second life can be reduced by 8 to 17% and 2 to 6%, respectively.

Abstract
Electrocatalysts for bifunctional oxygen reduction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reactions (OER) are commonly studied under hydrodynamic conditions, rendering the use of binders necessary to ensure the mechanical stability of the electrode films. The presence of a binder, however, may influence the properties of the materials under examination to an unknown extent. Herein, we investigate the impact of Nafion on a highly active ORR/OER catalyst consisting of MnFeNi oxide nanoparticles supported on multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Electrochemical studies revealed that, in addition to enhancing the mechanical stability and particle connectivity, Nafion poses a major impact on the ORR selectivity, which correlates with a decrease in the valence state of Mn according to X-ray absorption spectroscopy. These findings call for awareness regarding the use of electrode additives, since in some cases the extent of their impact on the properties of electrode films cannot be regarded as negligible.

Electrochemical study on nickel aluminum layered double hydroxides as high-performance electrode material for lithium-ion batteries based on sodium alginate binder. J Solid State Electrochem 2021.

Abstract
AbstractNickel aluminum layered double hydroxide (NiAl LDH) with nitrate in its interlayer is investigated as a negative electrode material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). The effect of the potential range (i.e., 0.01–3.0 V and 0.4–3.0 V vs. Li+/Li) and of the binder on the performance of the material is investigated in 1 M LiPF6 in EC/DMC vs. Li. The NiAl LDH electrode based on sodium alginate (SA) binder shows a high initial discharge specific capacity of 2586 mAh g−1 at 0.05 A g−1 and good stability in the potential range of 0.01–3.0 V vs. Li+/Li, which is better than what obtained with a polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF)-based electrode. The NiAl LDH electrode with SA binder shows, after 400 cycles at 0.5 A g−1, a cycling retention of 42.2% with a capacity of 697 mAh g−1 and at a high current density of 1.0 A g−1 shows a retention of 27.6% with a capacity of 388 mAh g−1 over 1400 cycles. In the same conditions, the PVDF-based electrode retains only 15.6% with a capacity of 182 mAh g−1 and 8.5% with a capacity of 121 mAh g−1, respectively. Ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ex situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) reveal a conversion reaction mechanism during Li+ insertion into the NiAl LDH material. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and XPS have been combined with the electrochemical study to understand the effect of different cutoff potentials on the Li-ion storage mechanism.

Abstract
In this study, a one-step process to fabricate "Janus"-structured nanocomposites with iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (Fe3O4 NPs) and polydopamine (PDA) on each side of a graphene oxide (GO) nanosheet using the Langmuir-Schaefer technique has been proposed. The Fe3O4 NPs-GO hybrid is used as a high-capacity active material, while PDA is added as a binder due to its unique wet-resistant adhesive property. The transmission electron microscopy image shows a superlattice-like out-of-plane section of the multilayered nanocomposite, which maximizes the density of the composite materials. Grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering results combined with scanning electron microscopy images confirm that the multilayered Janus composite exhibits an in-plane hexagonal array structure of closely packed Fe3O4 NPs. This Janus multilayered structure is expected to maximize the amount of active material in a specific volume and reduce volume changes caused by the conversion reaction of Fe3O4 NPs. According to the electrochemical results, the Janus multilayer electrode delivers an excellent capacity of ∼903 mAh g-1 at a current density of 200 mA g-1 and a reversible capacity of ∼639 mAh g-1 at 1 A g-1 up to the 1800th cycle, indicating that this Janus composite can be a promising anode for Li-ion batteries.

Abstract
Binders play an important role in electrode processing for energy storage systems. While conventional binders often require hazardous and costly organic solvents, there has been increasing development toward greener and less expensive binders, with a focus on those that can be processed in aqueous conditions. Due to their functional groups, many of these aqueous binders offer further beneficial properties, such as higher adhesion to withstand the large volume changes of several high-capacity electrode materials. In this review, we first discuss the roles of binders in the construction of electrodes, particularly for energy storage systems, summarize typical binder characterization techniques, and then highlight the recent advances on aqueous binder systems, aiming to provide a stepping stone for the development of polymer binders with better sustainability and improved functionalities.

Abstract
The reuse and recycling of products, leading to the utilization of wastes as key resources in a closed loop, is a great opportunity for the market in terms of added value and reduced environmental impact. In this context, producing carbonaceous anode materials starting from raw materials derived from food waste appears to be a possible approach to enhance the overall sustainability of the energy storage value chain, including Li-ion (LIBs) and Na-ion batteries (NIBs). In this framework, we show the behavior of anodes for LIBs and NIBs prepared with coffee ground-derived hard carbon as active material, combined with green binders such as Na-carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), alginate (Alg), or polyacrylic acid (PAA). In order to evaluate the effect of the various binders on the charge/discharge performance, structural and electrochemical investigations are carried out. The electrochemical characterization reveals that the alginate-based anode, used for NIBs, delivers much enhanced charge/discharge performance and capacity retention. On the other hand, the use of the CMC-based electrode as LIBs anode delivers the best performance in terms of discharge capacity, while the PAA-based electrode shows enhanced cycling stability. As a result, the utilization of anode materials derived from an abundant food waste, in synergy with the use of green binders and formulations, appears to be a viable opportunity for the development of efficient and sustainable Li-ion and Na-ion batteries.

Abstract
Stretchable physical sensors are crucial for the development of advanced electrical systems, particularly wearable devices and soft robotics. Currently available stretchable sensors that detect both pressure and strain are based on piezoelectric, piezoresistive, or piezocapacitive effects. The range of pressure sensing is 1–800 kPa with large deformations being within the range of deformations of parts of the human body, such as elbows and knees. However, these devices cannot easily allow simultaneous and independent detection of pressure and strain with sensor arrays at large tensions (> 50%) because strain affects the pressure signal. In this study, we propose a monolithic silicone-based array of pressure and strain sensors that can simultaneously and independently detect the in-plane biaxial tensile deformation and pressure. To realize these functionalities, the deformation of the device structure was optimized using a hetero-silicone substrate made of two types of silicone with different hardness characteristics and porous silicone bodies. In addition, the resistances of the sensors were controlled by adjusting a mixture based on carbon nanoparticles to improve the sensitivity and independence between the pressure and strain sensors. These concepts demonstrate the potential of this approach and its compatibility with the current architectures of stretchable physical sensors.

Abstract
To predict the cyclic stability of secondary battery electrodes, the mechanical behaviors of polymer binders and conductive composites (BCC) is of great significance. In terms of uniaxial tension, tensile stress relaxation, and bonding strength tests, the present study encompasses a systematic investigation of the mechanical properties of two typical aqueous binders with different contents of Super-S carbon black (SS) under a liquid electrolyte. Meanwhile, the microstructure of cured film and the surface morphology of the bonding interface are investigated in detail. When the weight ratio of SS increases from 0% to 50%, the cured BCC films manifest a higher ratio of tensile strength to modulus and a shorter characteristic relaxation time. Moreover, suitable loadings of SS can improve the tensile shear strength and remarkably reduce the percentage of interface failure of aqueous polymer-bonded Cu current collector. Nevertheless, an excess of carbon black amount cannot maintain its enhancing effect and can even impair the adhesive layer. Finally, a sodium alginate-based polymer composite holds much more superior mechanical properties than the mixture of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and styrene-butadiene rubber at the same content of carbon black. Noticeably, the two kinds of aqueous polymer doped by 50 wt % of SS exhibit the best adhesive properties.

Abstract
Tremendous efforts have been devoted to the development of electrode materials, electrolytes, and separators of energy-storage devices to address the fundamental needs of emerging technologies such as electric vehicles, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality. However, binders, as an important component of energy-storage devices, are yet to receive similar attention. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) has been the dominant binder in the battery industry for decades despite several well-recognized drawbacks, i.e., limited binding strength due to the lack of chemical bonds with electroactive materials, insufficient mechanical properties, and low electronic and lithium-ion conductivities. The limited binding function cannot meet inherent demands of emerging electrode materials with high capacities such as silicon anodes and sulfur cathodes. To address these concerns, in this review we divide the binding between active materials and binders into two major mechanisms: mechanical interlocking and interfacial binding forces. We review existing and emerging binders, binding technology used in energy-storage devices (including lithium-ion batteries, lithium-sulfur batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and supercapacitors), and state-of-the-art mechanical characterization and computational methods for binder research. Finally, we propose prospective next-generation binders for energy-storage devices from the molecular level to the macro level. Functional binders will play crucial roles in future high-performance energy-storage devices.
