Atomistic Structure Generation and Neural-Network Screening of Hard Carbons to Identify High-Capacity Sodium Storage
Harry Mclean, Aiden Daniel Emery, Theodore Thomas Walton +2
Hard carbons are established anodes for lithium-ion batteries and leading candidates for sodium-ion batteries, yet their electrochemical performance is governed by a heterogeneous…

Phonon driven non-equilibrium triggers for thermal runaway in battery electrodes
Harry Mclean, Francis Huw Davies, Ned Thaddeus Taylor +2
Thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries is governed by the poorly-understood initiation phase, where localised heating introduces instability. Here we identify the three key compo…
