COSMO: a new approach to dielectric screening in solvents with explicit expressions for the screening energy and its gradient
Starting from the screening in conductors, an algorithm for the accurate calculation of dielectric screening effects in solvents is presented, which leads to rather simple expli...
The Li-Ion Rechargeable Battery: A Perspective
Each cell of a battery stores electrical energy as chemical energy in two electrodes, a reductant (anode) and an oxidant (cathode), separated by an electrolyte that transfers th...
