Molecular and Ionic Solids02:54

Molecular and Ionic Solids

Crystalline solids are divided into four types: molecular, ionic, metallic, and covalent network based on the type of constituent units and their interparticle interactions.
Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
Creep in Concrete01:22

Creep in Concrete

Creep refers to the time-dependent increase in strain under a sustained load, excluding other time-dependent deformations associated with shrinkage, swelling, and thermal expansion in concrete. The primary mechanism behind creep involves the loss of physically adsorbed water from the calcium silicate hydrate within the hydrated cement paste. This process is further exacerbated by concrete's non-linear stress-strain relationship, microcrack development in the interfacial transition zone, and...
Electrochemical Cells01:28

Electrochemical Cells

Electrochemical cells are systems that convert chemical energy into electrical energy or use electrical energy to drive chemical reactions. They consist of two electrodes in contact with an electrolyte, where redox reactions enable electron transfer. Most electrochemical cells include two half-cells connected by an external wire for electron flow and a salt bridge for ion flow. The salt bridge contains an electrolyte solution and maintains charge neutrality by allowing ions—not electrons—to...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Chemical Engineering
  • Electrochemistry

Background:

  • Solid electrolyte (SE) densification is vital for all-solid-state battery (ASSB) performance and stability.
  • Understanding the mechanisms governing SE densification is key to fabricating high-performance batteries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate the role of granular creep in SE densification.
  • Analyze the impact of strain rate and cohesion on SE microstructure and properties.
  • Validate numerical findings with experimental results.

Main Methods:

  • Discrete element method (DEM) simulations to model granular creep.
  • Experimental validation using Li6PS5Cl separators.
  • Microstructural analysis via X-ray computed tomography (XCT) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).
  • Electrochemical testing, including critical current density (CCD) measurements.

Main Results:

  • Low strain rates promote granular creep, leading to better particle rearrangement, stress relaxation, and reduced porosity.
  • Experimental results confirm that lower strain rates yield a more homogeneous microstructure.
  • Samples processed at the lowest strain rate demonstrated a 3x higher critical current density (CCD) compared to those processed faster.

Conclusions:

  • Strain-rate-controlled processing is crucial for optimizing SE microstructure, mechanical integrity, and electrochemical performance.
  • Granular creep plays a significant role in achieving high packing density and enhanced ionic transport.
  • Findings provide insights for fabricating high-density, high-performance separators for advanced ASSBs.
