The field of sustainable battery technologies is rapidly evolving, with significant progress in enhancing battery longevity, recycling efficiency, and the adoption of alternative components. This review highlights recent advancements in electrode materials, focusing on silicon anodes and sulfur cathodes. Silicon anodes improve capacity through lithiation and delithiation processes, while sulfur cathodes offer high energy density, despite inherent challenges. Recycling technologies are also advancing, with mechanical methods achieving 60% efficiency, hydrometallurgical processes reaching 75%, and pyrometallurgical methods achieving 85% efficiency. These improvements in recycling contribute to a more sustainable lifecycle for batteries. Moreover, the shift towards alternative components, such as organic batteries, sodium-ion batteries, and solid-state batteries, is gaining momentum, representing 10%, 20%, and 15% of the market, respectively. These alternatives address environmental concerns and enhance battery performance and reliability. These developments underscore the importance of ongoing innovation in electrode materials and recycling technologies to overcome current challenges. As the industry continues to evolve, these advancements pave the way for more efficient and environmentally friendly energy storage solutions, promising a sustainable future for battery technologies.

Agricultural greenhouses incorporate intricate systems to regulate the internal climate. Among the crucial climatic variables, indoor temperature and humidity take precedence in establishing an optimal environment for plant production and growth. The present research emphasizes the efficacy of employing intelligent control systems in the automation of the indoor climate for smart insulated greenhouses (SIGs), utilizing a fuzzy logic controller (FLC). This paper proposes the use of an FLC to reduce the energy consumption of a greenhouse. In the first step, a thermodynamic model is presented and experimentally validated based on thermal heat exchanges between the indoor and outdoor climatic variables. The outcomes show the effectiveness of the proposed model in controlling indoor air temperature and relative humidity with a low error percentage. Secondly, several fuzzy logic control models have been developed to regulate the indoor temperature and humidity for cold and hot periods. The results show the good performance of the proposed FLC model as highlighted by the statistical analysis. In fact, the root mean squared error (RMSE) is very small and equal to 0.69% for temperature and 0.23% for humidity, whereas the efficiency factor (EF) of the fuzzy logic control is equal to 99.35% for temperature control and 99.86% for humidity control.
