Accelerating charging dynamics of electric double-layer capacitors
Megh Dutta, Ivan Palaia, Emmanuel Trizac +1
Electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs), consisting of an ionic fluid between two metallic electrodes, are electrochemical energy storage devices complementary to batteries, allow…
Beads, springs and fields: particle-based vs continuum models in cell biophysics
Valerio Sorichetti, Juraj Májek, Ivan Palaia +4
Quantitative modeling has become an essential tool in modern biophysics, driven by advances in both experimental techniques and theoretical frameworks. Powerful high-resolution tec…
Huygens' clocks at the microscale
Yaocheng Li, Ivan Palaia, Jinzi Mac Huang +2
Weakly coupled oscillators adjust their dynamics to work in unison: they synchronize. This ubiquitous phenomenon is observed for oscillating pendulum, electronic devices, as well a…
Poisson-Nernst-Planck charging dynamics of an electric double layer capacitor: symmetric and asymmetric binary electrolytes
Ivan Palaia, Adelchi J. Asta, Megh Dutta +3
A parallel plate capacitor containing an electrolytic solution is the simplest model of a supercapacitor, or electric double layer capacitor. Using both analytical and numerical te…
Charging dynamics of electric double layer nanocapacitors in mean-field
Ivan Palaia, Adelchi J. Asta, Megh Dutta +3
An electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) stores energy by modulating the spatial distribution of ions in the electrolytic solution that it contains. We determine the mean-field ti…
Like-charge attraction at the nanoscale: ground-state correlations and water destructuring
Ivan Palaia, Abhay Goyal, Emanuela del Gado +2
Like-charge attraction, driven by ionic correlations, challenges our understanding of electrostatics both in soft and hard matter. For two charged planar surfaces confining counter…
The physics of cement cohesion
Abhay Goyal, Ivan Palaia, Katerina Ioannidou +5
Cement is one of the most produced materials in the world. A major player in greenhouse gas emissions, it is the main binding agent in concrete, to which it provides a cohesive str…
Electroosmosis as a probe for electrostatic correlations
Ivan Palaia, Igor M. Telles, Alexandre P. dos Santos +1
We study the role of ionic correlations on the electroosmotic flow in planar double-slit channels, without salt. We propose an analytical theory, based on recent advances in the un…
Lattice Boltzmann Electrokinetics simulation of nanocapacitors
Adelchi J. Asta, Ivan Palaia, Emmanuel Trizac +2
We propose a method to model metallic surfaces in Lattice Boltzmann Electrokinetics simulations (LBE), a lattice-based algorithm rooted in kinetic theory which captures the coupled…
A correlation-hole approach to the electric double layer with counter-ions only
I. Palaia, M. Trulsson, L. Samaj +1
We study a classical system of identically charged counter-ions near a planar wall carrying a uniform surface charge density. The equilibrium statistical mechanics of the system de…
