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…

Thermal Metamaterials for Enhanced Non-Fourier Heat Transport
Harry Mclean, Francis Huw Davies, Ned Thaddeus Taylor +1
The untapped potential of thermal metamaterials requires the simultaneous observation of both diffusive and wave-like heat propagation across multiple length scales that can only b…

RAFFLE: Active learning accelerated interface structure prediction
Ned Thaddeus Taylor, Joe Pitfield, Francis Huw Davies +1
Interfaces between materials play a crucial role in the performance of most devices. However, predicting the structure of a material interface is computationally demanding due to t…
