Since the commercialization of lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) in the early 1990s, tin (Sn),
antimony (Sb), and germanium (Ge)‐based anodes have attracted considerable research …

Rechargeable batteries have a profound impact on our daily life so that it is urgent to capture
the physical and chemical fundamentals affecting the operation and lifetime. The phase-field …

The columnar to equiaxed transition (CET) of grain structures associated with processing
conditions has been observed during metallic additive manufacturing (AM). However, the …

In this work, we apply a multi-scale model combining finite-element method (FEM) and
phase-field model (PFM) to simulate the evolution of solidification microstructures at different …

In this paper, a bond-based peridynamic (PD) advection–reaction–diffusion model is
formulated to simulate processes involving chemical reactions, flows, and diffusion. In the …

The IMC (interfacial intermetallic compound) produced by the metallurgical reaction
between the solder and the Cu plate enables the packaging of IGBT (insulated gate bipolar …

Solid-state direct metal laser sintering (S-DMLS) builds structures by using laser energy to
sinter powder particles in a layer-by-layer manner. Powder size distribution (PSD) is an …

The electrochemical performance and capacity retention of lithium-ion batteries significantly
depend on the structural integrity of electrode materials. Understanding of the mechanical …

Solid-state lithium metal batteries are one of the most promising next-generation high-
energy–density storage devices. However, the continuous growth of lithium dendrites could …

In solid state lithium batteries, lithium dendrites are prone to nucleate and grow at unstable
electrode/electrolyte interfaces, intergranular and internal defect sites, which may cause …
