Strongly nonlinear dynamics of electrolytes in large ac voltages by Hojgaard Olesen, Laurits, Bazant, Martin Z., Bruus, Henrik

“…We also predict that steric effects of finite ion sizes (going beyond dilute-solution theory) act to suppress the strongly nonlinear regime in the limit of concentrated electrolytes, ionic liquids, and molten salts. Beyond the model problem, our reduced equations for thin double layers, based on uniformly valid matched asymptotic expansions, provide a useful mathematical framework to describe additional nonlinear responses to large ac voltages, such as Faradaic reactions, electro-osmotic instabilities, and induced-charge electrokinetic phenomena.…”

Towards an understanding of induced-charge electrokinetics at large applied voltages in concentrated solutions by Bazant, Martin Z., Kilic, Mustafa Sabri, Storey, Brian D., Ajdari, Armand

“…Similar theoretical issues arise in nanofluidics (due to confinement) and ionic liquids (due to the lack of solvent), so the paper concludes with a general framework of modified electrokinetic equations for finite-sized ions.…”

Elucidating the structure of the magnesium aluminum chloride complex electrolyte for magnesium-ion batteries by Canepa, Pieremanuele, Jayaraman, Saivenkataraman, Cheng, Lei, Rajput, Nav Nidhi, Richards, William D., Gautam, Gopalakrishnan Sai, Curtiss, Larry A., Persson, Kristin A., Ceder, Gerbrand

“…A general computational strategy to untangle the complex structure of electrolytes, ionic liquids and other liquid media is presented. The analysis of formation energies and grand-potential phase diagrams of Mg–Al–Cl–THF suggests that the MACC electrolyte bears a simple chemical structure with few simple constituents, namely the electro-active species MgCl[superscript +] and AlCl[− over 4] in equilibrium with MgCl[subscript 2] and AlCl[subscript 3]. …”

Towards electroformed nanostructured aluminum alloys with high strength and ductility by Ruan, Shiyun, Schuh, Christopher A

“…Nanostructured Al–Mn alloys are proposed as high-strength low-density materials, which can be electroformed (i.e., produced electrolytically and removed from the substrate) from ionic liquid. A variety of current waveforms, including direct current (DC) and pulsed current (PC), are used to electrodeposit nanostructured Al–Mn alloys, with some PC methods producing significant improvements in film ductility. …”
