The current study investigated the effects of active material, conductive additives, and binder in a composite electrode on battery performance. In addition, the parameters related to cell performance as well as side reactions were integrated in an electrochemical model. In order to predict the cell performance, key parameters including manganese dissolution, electronic conductivity, and resistance were first measured through experiments. Experimental results determined that a higher ratio of po

Dissolution is a critical challenge in metal oxide battery materials, which affects battery performance across multiple scales. At the particle level, the loss of active material as a result of dissolution directly results in capacity fade. At the electrode level, the re-deposition of dissolved metal ions onto the cathode increases cell polarization and hinders lithium transport. At the cell level, the dissolved ions further transport to and deposit on the anode, which consumes cycle-able lithiu

This paper investigates the effects of surface orientation and doping on the dissolution of Mn ions from LiMn2O4 structures using first principles calculations. Our aim is to understand why certain surface orientations and element dopings produce structures with lower Mn dissolution. By comparing the electronic properties and structures of systems with different surfaces and dopings, Mn dissolution mechanisms and their prevention can be better understood. Based on our calculations, Mn dissolutio

A thorough investigation of both manganese (Mn) deposition onto graphite and its side reactions was conducted based on complementary techniques including CV, EIS, GCPL, ICP-OES, SEM and EDS. Each measurement revealed a specific aspect of the degradation phenomena, which taken together all pointed in a common direction. This study focused on 1) deposition mechanisms and effects of manganese ions on the SEI layer; 2) the effects of manganese deposition on electrochemical performance; and 3) direct

Chemotherapy is an important method in the field of cancer treatment and often follows surgery and/or radiotherapy to remove as many tumor cells as possible. In particular, among the chemotherapy methods, treatment using electromagnetic-based actuation systems is considered an effective method owing to the remote control of nanorobots. The existing electromagnetic-based actuation systems, however, have certain disadvantages such as the lack of degrees of freedom and the difficulty of manipulatin
