This fragmentation provides limited guidance for policymakers and practitioners, hindering effective decision-making and the development of best practices. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, the review analyzed 33 empirical studies focused on enhancing farmers' innovativeness in Africa. This analysis was based on a search that yielded 2891 records published up to June 29, 2024. These records were meticulously screened to meet predefined inclusion criteria. The studies were sourced from the Web of Science and Scopus databases, with additional documents identified through Google Scholar. The findings reveal that (1) farmers' innovativeness varies across different extension approaches;(2) digital-based approaches promote the highest levels of innovation adoption, mainly for non-technological innovation, while integrated approaches perform best for technological innovations;(3) both digital-based and integrated approaches are more effective for knowledge acquisition;(4) digital-based and multi-stakeholder approaches are more effective for fostering continuous innovation;(5) capacity building, community and social networks, and access to resources and support emerged as the most significant drivers of farmers’ innovativeness;and (6) positive impacts with a greater focus on environmental and economic dimensions were reported, although variability in outcomes suggests that context-specific factors play a crucial role. This review provides valuable insights for policymakers and practitioners aiming to improve agricultural extension services and foster farmers' innovativeness. It emphasizes the need for context-sensitive approaches that support farmers in navigating complex agricultural challenges.展开更多

文摘Long-life energy storage batteries are integral to energy storage systems and electric vehicles,with lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)currently being the preferred option for extended usage-life energy storage.To further extend the life span of LIBs,it is essential to intensify investments in battery design,manufacturing processes,and the advancement of ancillary materials.The pursuit of long durability introduces new challenges for battery energy density.The advent of electrode material offers effective support in enhancing the battery’s long-duration performance.Often underestimated as part of the cathode composition,the binder plays a pivotal role in the longevity and electrochemical performance of the electrode.Maintaining the mechanical integrity of the electrode through judicious binder design is a fundamental requirement for achieving consistent long-life cycles and high energy density.This paper primarily concentrates on the commonly employed cathode systems in lithium-ion batteries,elucidates the significance of binders for both,discusses the application status,strengths,and weaknesses of novel binders,and ultimately puts forth corresponding optimization strategies.It underscores the critical function of binders in enhancing battery performance and advancing the sustainable development of lithium-ion batteries,aiming to offer fresh insights and perspectives for the design of high-performance LIBs.
