Here, we designed and constructed nerve guidance conduits (NGCs) that can mimic the conductivity of natural nerves to deliver exogenous electrical stimulation and endogenous electrophysiological signals in a targeted and efficient manner. The inner layer of the conductive NGCs was an oriented fiber formed by coprocessing the conductive polymers poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(styrene sulfonic acid) (PEDOT: PSS) and chitosan (CS) via electrospinning technology. The outer layer was a pluronic F127 diacrylate (F127DA) hydrogel with good mechanical properties. We used a rat sciatic nerve defect model to evaluate the ability of conductive NGCs to promote peripheral nerve repair. Compared with NGCs without added conductive polymers, the conductive NGCs in this study can significantly promote the recovery of the shape and function of peripheral nerves, achieving the repair effect of autografts.

The irreversible stress has a profound impact on battery performance. LIBs experience different pressure conditions after various cycle numbers, but there have been no reports on the relationship between pressure changes at different cycling stages (pressure stages) and the various composition of electrode–electrolyte interfacial (EEI) film in pouch cells. This paper investigates the impact of different pressure stages on the EEI film and electrical performance in 300 Wh kg<sup>−1</sup> NCM811||Si/C pouch cells under constant gap conditions. In practical applications, the dynamic internal pressure is monitored and quantified using self-generated in-situ pressure testing equipment, which is further correlated with the observed charging and discharging processes. A multi-stage cycling process is observed. In the first stage, the battery exhibits nearly reversible expansion. In the second stage, the maximum and minimum internal pressures increase uniformly, indicating a steady rise in irreversible pressure. In the third stage, the internal pressure of the battery rises rapidly, accompanied by a rapid decline in electrical performance. Additionally, other electrical parameters also exhibit a staged evolution pattern. It is found that with the increase of pressure, the main composition transformation of SEI film and the slow diffusion coefficient of Li<sup>+</sup> may lead to the degradation of the battery. Ultimately, we proposed a capacity predictor based on normalized pressure in the AIMD model and validated it to diagnose the evolution of the Si/C anode, by integrating macroscopic and microscopic perspectives.
