Phase separation of stable colloidal clusters
Thomas Petersen, Martin Z. Bazant, Roland J. M. Pellenq +1
This Article presents a nonequilibrium thermodynamic theory for the mean-field precipitation, aggregation and pattern formation of colloidal clusters. A variable gradient energy co…
Microscopic theory of capillary pressure hysteresis based on pore-space accessivity and radius-resolved saturation
Zongyu Gu, Martin Z. Bazant
Continuum models of porous media use macroscopic parameters and state variables to capture essential features of pore-scale physics. We propose a macroscopic property "accessivity"…
Size-dependent phase morphologies in LiFePO4 battery particles
Daniel A. Cogswell, Martin Z. Bazant
Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO) is the prototypical two-phase battery material, whose complex patterns of lithium ion intercalation provide a testing ground for theories of ele…
Spin-Glass Charge Ordering in Ionic Liquids
Amir Levy, Michael McEldrew, Martin Z. Bazant
Ionic liquids form intricate microstructures, both in the bulk and near charged surfaces. In this Letter, we show that, given the ionic positions from molecular simulations, the io…
Theory of The Double Layer in Water-in-Salt Electrolytes
Michael McEldrew, Zachary A. H. Goodwin, Alexei A. Kornyshev +1
One challenge in developing the next generation of lithium-ion batteries is the replacement of organic electrolytes, which are flammable and most often contain toxic and thermally…
Thermodynamics of Ion Separation by Electrosorption
Ali Hemmatifar, Ashwin Ramachandran, Kang Liu +3
We present a simple, top-down approach for the calculation of minimum energy consumption of electrosorptive ion separation using variational form of the (Gibbs) free energy. We foc…
