The success of liquid/solid‐state batteries is fundamentally determined by the electrode
microstructures, which is particularly true for high‐energy‐density electrodes with either thick …

Lithium ion batteries are one of the most widespread energy storage systems, but they still
suffer some weak points, such as safety, limited energy density, and cycle life. The latter is …

Electrode particle cracking is one of the main phenomena driving battery capacity
degradation. Recent phase field fracture studies have investigated particle cracking …

We present a new theoretical and computational framework for modelling electro-chemo-
mechanical fracture. The model combines a phase field description of fracture with a fully …

As an important part of electric vehicles, lithium-ion battery packs will have a certain
environmental impact in the use stage. To analyze the comprehensive environmental …

Establishing the nature of crack generation, formation, and propagation is paramount to
understanding the degradation modes that govern decline in battery performance. Cracking …

Electrode microstructure can profoundly affect the performance of lithium-ion batteries. In
this work, the effect of the calendering process on electrode microstructures is investigated …

Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are highly significant in terms of electrochemical energy storage
devices due to their remarkable attributes such as high energy density, long cycle life, and …

Phase field fracture models have seen widespread application in the last decade. Among
these applications, its use to model the evolution of fatigue cracks has attracted particular …

There is a need for computational models capable of predicting meltwater-assisted crevasse
growth in glacial ice. Mass loss from glaciers and ice sheets is the largest contributor to sea …
