First principles molecular dynamics simulations have been performed for the liquid-vapor interfaces of liquid Li, Mg, Al and Si. We analize the oscillatory ionic and valence electronic density profiles obtained, their wavelengths and the…
Cell division and death can be regulated by the mechanical forces within a tissue. We study the consequences for the stability and roughness of a propagating interface, by analysing a model of mechanically-regulated tissue growth in the…
Mechanical degradation in electrode materials during successive electrochemical cycling is critical for battery lifetime and aging properties. A common strategy to mitigate electrode mechanical degradation is to suppress the volume…
Electrodes in sodium-ion batteries endure mechanical stress during production and application, which can damage these fragile coatings, causing performance inefficiencies and early failure. Binder material provides elasticity in electrode…
The influence of long-range Coulomb interactions on the properties of one-dimensional (1D) strongly correlated electron systems in vicinity of the metal-insulator phase transition is considered. It is shown that unscreened repulsive Coulomb…
In this work, we adopt first-principle calculations based on density functional theory and Kinetic Monte Carlo simulations to investigate the adsorption and diffusion of lithium in bilayer graphene (BLG) as anodes in lithium-ion batteries.…
We study the stability and breakup behavior of an axisymmetric liquid thread which is surrounded by another viscous fluid layer through a long wave approximation. The two fluids are immiscible and confined in a concentrically placed…
The wetting dynamics of liquid particles, from coated droplets to soft capsules, holds significant technological interest. Motivated by the need to simulate liquid metal droplet with an oxidize surface layer, in this work we introduce a…
In this paper, we study modulation instabilities (MI) in a one-dimensional chain configuration of a flexible mechanical metamaterial (flexMM). Using the lumped element approach, flexMMs can be modeled by a coupled system of discrete…
This paper presents the current state of mathematical modelling of the electrochemical behaviour of lithium-ion batteries as they are charged and discharged. It reviews the models developed by Newman and co-workers, both in the cases of…
The path toward Li-ion batteries with higher energy-densities will likely involve use of thin lithium metal (Li) anode (<50 $\mu$m in thickness), whose cyclability today remains limited by dendrite formation and low Coulombic efficiency.…
Halide solid-state electrolytes have emerged as promising candidates for all-solid-state lithium batteries due to their high oxidative stability and deformability, yet their moderate ionic conductivity remains a bottleneck. While…
By treating the electron-ion interaction as perturbation in the first-principles Hamiltonian, we have calculated the density response functions of a fluid alkali metal to find an interesting charge instability due to anomalous electronic…
Lithium (Li) metal anodes are essential for developing next-generation high-energy-density batteries. However, Li dendrite/whisker formation caused short-circuiting issue and short cycle life have prevented lithium metal from being viably…
Topological constraints have long been known to provide efficient mechanisms for localizing and storing energy across a range of length scales, from knots in DNA to turbulent plasmas. Despite recent theoretical and experimental progress on…
We reported a phenomenon that when exerting an electric field gradient across a liquid metal/electrolyte interface, a droplet of the same liquid metal can persistently surf on the interface without coalescence. A thin layer of the…
Externally applied pressure impacts the performance of batteries particularly in those undergoing large volume changes, such as lithium metal batteries. In particular, the Li$^+$ electroplating process in large format pouch cells occurs at…
Nickel-rich layered oxides have been widely used as positive electrode materials for high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries, but their degradation has severely affected cell performance, in particular at a high voltage and temperature.…
The growing interest in creating a parametric representation of liquid sloshing inside a container stems from its practical applications in modern engineering systems. The resonant excitation, on the other hand, can cause unstable and…
It is of great importance to develop inorganic solid electrolytes with high ionic conductivity, thus enabling solid state Li-ion batteries to address the notorious safety issue about the current technology due to use of highly flammable…
