We study charge transport in an ionic solution in a confined nanoscale geometry in the presence of an externally applied electric field and immobile background charges. For a range of parameters, the ion current shows non-monotonic behavior…

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.…

Silicon suboxide is currently considered as a unique candidate for lithium ion batteries anode materials due to its considerable capacity. However, no adequate information exist about the role of oxygen content on its performance. To this…

Upon insertion and extraction of lithium, materials important for electrochemical energy storage can undergo changes in thermal conductivity (${\Lambda}$) and elastic modulus ($\it M$). These changes are attributed to evolution of the…

We present a quantitative analysis of the steady state electronic transport in a resistive switching device. The device is composed of a thin film of Ag$_{2}$S (solid electrolyte) contacted by a Pt nano-contact acting as ion-blocking…

We consider the problem of electron transport across a quasi-one-dimensional disordered multiply-scattering medium, and study the statistical properties of the electron density inside the system. In the physical setup that we contemplate,…

We consider basic and easily extendible transport formulations for lithium batteries consisting of an anode (Li-foil), a separator (polymer electrolyte), and a composite cathode (composed of electrolyte and intercalation particles). Our…

We develop a detailed analysis of electron transport in normal diffusive con- ductors in the presence of proximity induced superconductivity. A rich structure of temperature and energy dependencies for the system condcutcance, density of…

We present transport measurements of electrons on the surface of liquid helium in a microchannel device in which a constriction may be formed by a split-gate electrode. The surface electron current passing through the microchannel first…

Silicon offers great promise as a potential anode active material and the optimum alternative to lithium metal in all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries. However, its practical application is limited by severe volume expansion (~300%) during…

We report AC-impedance studies on a series of high-quality LiMn$_{1-x}$Fe$_x$PO$_4$ single crystals with $0\leq x \leq 1$. Our results confirm quasi-one-dimensional transport in LiFePO$_4$ with fast Li-diffusion along the $b$-axis. The…

Sodium-titanate \ce{Na2Ti3O7} (NTO) is regarded as a highly promising anode material with a very low voltage for Na-ion batteries and capacitors, but suffered from relatively low specific capacity and poor electron conductivity. Here we…

The ion conductivity of a solid-state ion conductor generally increases exponentially upon reduction in ion migration barrier. For prevalent cathode material LiCoO2, the room-temperature ion conductivity and migration barrier are…

Electrons move along potential or thermal gradients. In the presence of a global gradient, applied e.g. to the two terminals of a conductor, this induces electric charge and heat currents. They can also flow between two equilibrated…

We study the electron transport through the quantum dot coupled to the normal metal and BCS-like superconductor (N - QD - S) in the presence of the Kondo effect and Andreev scattering. The system is described by the single impurity Anderson…

Solid-state batteries (SSBs) can offer a paradigm shift in battery safety and energy density. Yet, the promise hinges on the ability to integrate high-performance electrodes with state-of-the-art solid electrolytes. For example, lithium…

Lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) have transformed electrochemical energy storage technologies and made a substantial contribution to grid-scale energy storage and the e-mobility revolution. Notwithstanding their many benefits, safety issues…

Electride materials offer attractive physical properties due to their loosely bound electrons. Ca2N, an electride in the two-dimensional (2D) form was successfully recently synthesized. We conducted extensive first-principles calculations…

We developed the theory of elastic electron tunneling through a potential barrier driven by a strong high-frequency electromagnetic field. It is demonstrated that the driven barrier can be considered as a stationary two-barrier potential…

Many key performance characteristics of carbon-based lithium-ion battery anodes are largely determined by the strength of binding between lithium (Li) and sp2 carbon (C), which can vary significantly with subtle changes in substrate…
