Thermal Spray as a Scalable Alternative Processing Route for Solid-State Thin-Film Batteries
Ameey Anupam, Shrikant Joshi
Solid-state thin-film batteries (SSTFBs) are attractive for applications where small footprint, safety, long cycle life, and device integration are more important than high absolute capacity. Their fabrication presently remains strongly tied to vacuum-based methods, which provide dense layers but have limitations such as low deposition rates and high costs. This review assesses whether thermal spr
Combining physical models with dynamically acquired experimental information
Bernardus Rendy, Yuxing Fei
Elemental substitution within existing structural frameworks is a widely applied strategy for developing advanced materials. Yet, optimizing target properties while maintaining phase purity usually demands extensive trial-and-error, which becomes substantially inefficient when navigating a complex design space. Here, we introduce a strategy that simultaneously and dynamically assesses composition-
Simulation of a Battery Cell on Quantum Computers: Reactions Transport
Albert J. Pool, Michael Schelling
Simulations of electrochemical materials and systems accelerate technological progress, but are still limited by computational power. In particular, quantum computing offers prospects for higher resolutions, due to the exponential amount of data that can be stored in a quantum state. As current quantum computers are still noisy, we consider a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm that divides the pro
