The buildup of the nanometer-thick SEI layer Leung and Leenheer stated in "How voltage drops are manifested by lithium-ion configurations at interfaces and in thin films on battery electrodes" that in the initial stage of Solid Electrolyte Interface(SEI) formation, the solvent molecules absorbed on the surface of the charged electrode will greatly reduce the voltage and alter the structure of the layer under the applied electric field. Thi..
Molecular Dynamic Study of electrode-electrolyte surface Modern Lithium-Ion Batteries(LIB) contain organic solvents(carbonates, ethers, etc) and salt anions(PF6-, BF4-, ClO4-, etc) which are not electrochemically stable and will undergo decomposition reaction to form a passivating layer, referred to as the Solid Electrolyte Interface(SEI). It is at this interface where the crucial electrochemical reaction, which governs the whole battery performance, ..
Quantum Tunneling Phenomenon in Batteries In this scenario, the rock in position A will never be able to move up the hump without an external force apllied to it(illustrated as person pushing). In order for the rock to move to position B, all it needs is just enough force to go over the hump and the rest will be spontaneous. Such force required to move up the hump is called the Activation energy in modern chemistry. Any force smaller th..
Trump's failed economy led to defeat in the election When voting for a presidential candidate, what are the crucial factors that you consider? It may be tax policies, higher minimum wage, pro-renewable energy, and so on... In the end, it all comes down to the financial wellbeing of the voter. For example, a worker in the oil industry may agree with Joe Biden's political agenda, but he would still vote for Donald Trump because of the financial impa..
How Donald Trump got elected as the President of U.S.A How did Donald Trump get elected as the President of America? As many people already know, Trump wasn't elected gently like the former presidents did, but rather had a pretty tough one. Everyone was talking about how if Trump does actually become the next President of America, that not only America but also the entire world will fall apart; and thus there were many protests against Donald Trump...
