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…

Tailored Porous Electrode Resistance for Controlling Electrolyte Depletion and Improving Charging Response in Electrochemical Systems
James W. Palko, Ali Hemmatifar, Juan G. Santiago
The rapid charging and/or discharging of electrochemical cells can lead to localized depletion of electrolyte concentration. This depletion can significantly impact the system's ti…
