Charge transport in porous electrodes is foundational for modern energy storage technologies like supercapacitors, fuel cells, and batteries. Supercapacitors in particular rely solely on storing energy in charged pores. Here, we simulate…
The interest in Ni-rich layered oxide positive electrode materials has been increasing due to its wide applicability particularly in electric vehicles as high capacity and high energy density electrode materials. However, the Ni-O bond…
Layered-oxide $\mathrm{LiNi_xMn_yCo_{1-x-y}O_2}$ (NMC) positive electrodes with high Nickel content, deliver high voltages and energy densities. However, a high nickel content, e.g., $x$ = 0.8 (NMC 811), can lead to high surface reactivity,…
Theoretical explorations have revealed that quantum batteries can exploit quantum correlation to achieve faster charging, thus promising exciting applications in future technologies. Using NMR architecture, here we experimentally…
Supercapacitors have been attracting significant attention as promising energy storage devices. However, the voltage window limitation associated with electrolyte solutions has hindered the improvement of their capacitance. To address this…
In the R1/2D1/2MnO3 manganites (R: rare earth, D: divalent cation), the structural phase transition at Tco is commonly interpreted as a concomitant charge and orbital ordering (CO/OO) process driven by a cooperative Jahn-Teller effect and…
Tunnel transport processes are considered in a square lattice of metallic nanogranules embedded into insulating host to model tunnel conduction in real metal/insulator granular layers. Based on a simple model with three possible charging…
Use of electrode materials that show phase change behavior and hence drastic changes in electrochemical activity during operation, have not been explored for Li-ion batteries. Here we demonstrate the vanadium oxide (VO2) cathode that…
MOSFETs based on wide band-gap semiconductors are suitable for operations at high temperature, at which additional atomic-scale processes that are benign at lower temperatures can get activated which results in device degradation. Recently…
In frames of a rather conventional cluster approach, which combines the crystal field and the ligand field models we have considered different charge transfer (CT) states and O 2p-Mn 3d CT transitions in MnO$_{6}^{9-}$ octahedra. The…
We perform density functional theory plus dynamical mean field theory calculations to investi- gate internal charge transfer in an artificial superlattice composed of alternating layers of vanadate and manganite perovskite and…
1$T$-TaSe$_2$ is widely believed to host a Mott metal-insulator transition in the charge density wave (CDW) phase according to the spectroscopic observation of a band gap that extends across all momentum space. Previous investigations…
Based on the group structure search method of first principles, MnB, MnB2, and MnB6 monolayer two-dimensional systems were designed and their structure, stability, electronic properties, as well as performance as anodes for sodium-ion…
Comparison is made of the electronic structure of the little-studied layered transition metal oxide LiNbO$_2$ with that of Na$_x$CoO$_2$, which has attracted tremendous interest since superconductivity was discovered in its hydrate.…
While it is well-known that electrode conductivity has a critical impact on rate-performance in battery electrodes, this relationship has been quantified only by computer simulations. Here we investigate the relationship between electrode…
Pseudocapacitors have been experimentally studied for many years in electric energy storage. However, first principles understanding of the pseudocapacitive behavior is still not satisfactory due to the complexity involved in modeling…
We report a comprehensive study on the electrochemical performance of four different Transition Metal Oxides encapsulated inside carbon nanotubes (CNT). Irrespective of the type of oxide-encapsulate, all these samples exhibit superior…
We explore the interplay of electron-electron correlations and surface effects in the prototypical correlated insulating material, NiO. In particular, we compute the electronic structure, magnetic properties, and surface energies of the…
Quantum battery (QB) is a conceptually new energy storage and conversion device, which consists usually of a quantum charger and an energy store (called usually as the QB for simplicity). The demonstrated advantage of QB, over its classical…
The candidate magnetoelectric Pb3Mn7O15 has a structure consisting of 1/3 filled Kagome layers linked by ribbons of edge-sharing octahedra in the stacking direction. Previous reports have indicated a complex hexagonal-orthorhombic…
