Lithium batteries (LBs) are developed tremendously owing to their excellent energy density as well as cyclic persistence, exhibiting promising applications from portable devices to e‐transportation and grid fields. However, with the ever‐increasing demand for intelligent wearable electronics, more requests are focused on high safety, good durability, and satisfied reliability of LBs. The self‐healing route, which can simulate the ability of organic organisms to repair damage and recover initial function through its intrinsic vitality, is believed to be an efficient strategy to alleviate the unavoidable physical or chemical fatigue and damage issues of LBs, beneficial for the realization of the above mentioned high requests. In this review, the applicability and development of self‐healing materials are summarized in electrodes, electrolytes, and interfacial layers in recent years, focusing on exploring the feasibility of different self‐healing strategies in LBs, discussing the advantages and disadvantages of existing strategies in different parts of batteries, and indicating the possible research directions for beginners who are interested in this field. Finally, the critical challenges and the future research directions as well as opportunities are prospected.
The United States is one of the world’s top producers of fresh tomatoes. However, the industry supply chain is not well understood with little attention in the literature. To attend to this literature gap and to better inform business decisions and policy making, it is crucial to understand the industry structure on a deeper level. Applying a supply chain mapping approach, this study presents a complete picture of the U.S. fresh tomato supply chain with valuable insights into the fresh produce industry and lays the groundwork for future research on solving supply chain issues.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
