Electrochemical energy storage systems, specifically lithium and lithium-ion batteries, are
ubiquitous in contemporary society with the widespread deployment of portable electronic …

The iron oxide magnetite, Fe3O4, is a promising conversion type lithium ion battery anode
material due to its high natural abundance, low cost and high theoretical capacity. While the …

Conspectus Batteries are dynamic devices composed of multiple components that operate
far from equilibrium and may operate under extreme stress and varying loads. Studies of …

At low concentrations of lithium insertion into inverse spinel magnetite Fe3O4, a phase
change to rock-salt-like Li x Fe3O4 has been observed. We used density-functional-theory …

The development of E-textiles requires portable devices for energy storage that do not
compromise the comfort and functionality of the textile. In this work, a flexible carbon …

Magnetite, Fe3O4, holds significant interest as a Li-ion anode material because of its high
theoretical capacity (926 mAh/g) associated with multiple electron transfers per cation …

A bottleneck for the large-scale application of today's batteries is low lithium storage
capacity, largely due to the use of intercalation-type electrodes that allow one or less …

Nanostructured materials can exhibit phase change behavior that deviates from the
macroscopic phase behavior. This is exemplified by the ambiguity for the equilibrium phases …

Fundamental understanding of transport properties across multiple size regimes is critical for
the rational design of electrodes with conversion materials. While recent studies have …

Batteries are ubiquitous in modern society, from the portable devices we use daily to the yet-
to-be realized integration of batteries into the electrical grid and electrical vehicle markets …
