Electrolyte Transport in Confined Spaces

Abstract

We report research into the fundamentals of charge transport in confined electrolyte systems that are of fundamental and technological importance in energy-storage systems and in the development of nanoscale electrochemical platforms, including new chemical and physical sensors. Experimental studies quantifying the role of electrical field driven ion transport in electrolytes that are 1Os of nm thick, including at the 3-phase interface, are reported. Descriptions and results from multiscale computational modeling of charge transport in nanoscale electrochemical devices involving specialized large-scale molecular dynamics simulations and novel coarse-graining methods are presented.
