Nonlinear waves in flexible mechanical metamaterials

Kavli Affiliate: Katia Bertoldi | First 5 Authors: Bolei Deng, Jordan R. Raney, Katia Bertoldi, Vincent Tournat, | Summary: Flexible mechanical metamaterials are compliant structures engineered to achieve unique properties via the large deformation of their components. While their static character has been studied extensively, the study of their dynamic properties is still at an […]

Unravelling the deterministic effect of the solid-state diffusion energy barrier for charge carrier on the self-discharge of supercapacitors

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Xiaohui Yan, Yue He, Xuncheng Liu, Siqi Jing, Jiajian Guan | Summary: The further development of fast electrochemical devices is hindered by self-discharge. Current strategies for suppressing self-discharge are mainly focused on the extrinsic and general mechanisms including faradaic reactions, charge redistribution, and ohmic leakage. However, the […]
