ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
The electrochemical reactions inside the porous electrodes of batteries and fuel
cells have been described by theorists, but never measured directly. Now, a team at
MIT has figured out a way to measure the fundamental charge transfer rate —
finding some significant surprises.
The study found that the Butler-Volmer (BV) equation, usually used to describe
reaction rates in electrodes, is inaccurate, especially at higher voltage levels.
Instead, a different approach, called Marcus-Hush-Chidsey charge-transfer theory,
provides more realistic results — revealing that the limiting step of these reactions
is not what had been thought.
The new findings could help engineers design better electrodes to improve
batteries’ rates of charging and discharging, and provide a better understanding of
other electrochemical processes, such as how to control corrosion. The work is
described this week in the journal Nature Communications by MIT postdoc Peng
Bai and professor of chemical engineering and mathematics Martin Bazant.
Previous work was based on the assumption that the performance of electrodes
made of lithium iron phosphate — widely used in lithium-ion batteries — was
limited primarily by how fast lithium ions would diffuse into the solid electrode
from the liquid electrolyte. But the new analysis shows that the critical interface is
actually between two solid materials: the electrode itself, and a carbon coating used
to improve its performance.
Sincerely,
Ph.D Prof. Dr. Artin Afsharjavan
