Alkali metal anodes paired with solid ion conductors offer promising avenues for enhancing battery energy density and safety. To facilitate rapid ion transport crucial for fast charging and discharging, it is essential to understand point…
The role of Li-based batteries in the electrification of society cannot be understated, however their operational lifetime is often limited by the formation of dendrites, i.e. the localised deposition of Li that can cause shorts between the…
The structure of lithium ion battery components, such as electrodes and separators, are commonly characterised in terms of their porosity and tortuosity. The ratio of these values gives the effective transport of lithium ions in the…
Ether-based electrolytes exhibit excellent compatibility with Li metal anodes, but their instability at high voltages limits their use in high-voltage Li metal batteries. To address this issue, we introduce an alternative perfluorobutane…
Porous electrodes composed of multiphase active materials are widely used in Li-ion batteries, but their dynamics are poorly understood. Two-phase models are largely empirical, and no models exist for three or more phases. Using a modified…
As silicon is approaching its theoretical limit for the anode materials in lithium battery, searching for a higher limit is indispensable. Herein, we demonstrate the possible of achieving ultrahigh capacity over 6500 mAh g-1 in…
Defects on surfaces of semiconductors have a strong effect on their reactivity and catalytic properties. The concentration of different charge states of defects is determined by their formation energies. First-principles calculations are an…
SiD is a robust, silicon-based detector proposed for the International Linear Collider (ILC). SiD employs a sampling silicon-tungsten electromagnetic calorimeter (ECal) to accurately measure the energies of electrons, positrons, and photons…
Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) have received significant attention as promising alternative for energy storage applications owing to the large availability and low cost of sodium. In this paper we study the electrochemical behavior of…
Next-generation lithium-ion batteries with silicon anodes have positive characteristics due to higher energy densities compared to state-of-the-art graphite anodes. However, the large volume expansion of silicon anodes can cause high…
The large volume change of the silicon (Si) during lithiation and delithiation process has long been a problem impeding its application as one of the most promising anode materials for LIBs. In this paper, we proposed a conceptually new…
Prelithiation as a facile and effective method to compensate the lithium inventory loss in the initial cycle has progressed considerably both on anode and cathode sides. However, much less research has been devoted to the prelithiation…
Heterogeneities in lithium ion batteries can be significant factors in electrode under utilisation and degradation while charging. Bilayer electrodes have been proposed as a convenient and scalable way to homogenise the electrode response.…
Aging limits lithium-ion battery lifetime and must be understood to improve durability and performance, requiring a detailed understanding of how aging alters the availability of cyclable lithium and the integrity of active particles. In…
Background: The accurate determination of atomic final states following nuclear $\beta$ decay plays an important role in many experiments. In particular, the charge state distributions of ions following nuclear $\beta$ decay are important…
Long-term durability is a major obstacle limiting the widespread use of lithium ion batteries (LIBs) in heavy-duty applications and others demanding extended lifetime. As one of the root causes of degradation and failure of battery…
Li-ion battery performance is strongly influenced by their cathodes' properties and consequently by the 3D microstructure of the particles the cathodes are comprised of. During calendaring and cycling, cracks develop within cathode…
Understanding the electrodes' surface morphology influence on the ions' distribution is essential for designing the supercapacitors with enhanced energy density characteristics. We develop a model for the structure of electrolytes near the…
Parameterisation of coupled degradation mechanisms in lithium-ion batteries is a major challenge. Interactions between the mechanisms depend on usage conditions: C-rate, rest state-of-charge (SoC), depth-of-discharge (DoD) and temperature.…
To develop a high-density and long-life lithium-ion battery, a technology is needed that allows non-destructive visualization of the spatial distribution of deteriorated parts after cycle test. In the present study, we measured the…
