Autocatalytic solid-state electrochemical reactions: a non-linear kinetic theory of batteries

Abstract

Autocatalysis is a nonlinear dynamic phenomenon that is believed to be involved in many natural phenomena. Herein, a mesoscopic kinetic modelling of solid-state electrochemical reactions based on autocatalysis is introduced,...

Electrochemical solid phase formation and dissolution; a non-equilibrium thermodynamic view

“…2 A CV curve based on the autocatalytic model for electrochemical solid phase formation and dissolution. (for more details see ref [15]) considerably from unity. ( 4) Memory effect: the peak potential for phase formation in the second CV cycle occurs earlier than that in the first cycle.…”

“…The reaction extent can also be understood as the mole fraction or the instantaneous size of the growing solid phase. (For the corresponding functions see refs [15]) subjugated by entropy. This occurs because a solid phase can be dissolved at (randomly) different sites.…”
