Lately I have been having a hard time to identify and apply binary search on problems. So it there any playlist to prepare for binary search?

imo, solving problems that you already know have binary search is kinda counter-productive, since you will not learn how to actually spot binary search yourself. im not that high rated but imo you should just solve problems as usual and when you encounter a binary search problem you couldnt solve, try to understand why, and improve from there

Choose tag "Binary search" in problemeset, and sort by rating. I would also recommend doing past Div. 4 and Div. 3 contests. They include a lot of two-pointer, binary search problems

I can suggest Usaco Guide Binary Section for learning content and Practice given Problems.
