Phase Diagrams Enable Solid‐State Battery Design
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Batteries are non‐equilibrium devices with inherent thermodynamic driving forces to react at interfaces, regardless of kinetics or operating conditions. Chemical potential mismatches across interfaces are dissipated via interfacial reactions. In this work, it is illustrated how phase diagrams and chemical potential maps predict degradation pathways but

Finite-time thermodynamic performance of a Dual cycle
International Journal of Energy Research, 1999 Finite-time thermodynamic analysis of an air-standard internal-combustion Dual cycle is performed in this paper. The relation between net work output and efficiency of the cycle is derived. The maximum net work output and the corresponding efficiency limit of the cycle with heat transfer considerations are also found.

Topological Point Defects in SmC* Liquid Crystals Under Mechanical Disturbance
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Tangetial air jet shear inducess island formation and nucleates topological point defects in uniform SmC films. Island bounded by edge dislocation loops shrink and transform into isolated point defects under continued shear. Mechanical perturbatio provides a controllable route for defect engineering in smectric liquid crystal thin films.

Thermodynamically optimal information gain in finite-time measurement
Physical Review ResearchThe tradeoff relation between speed and cost is a central issue in designing fast and efficient information processing devices. We derive an achievable bound on thermodynamic cost for obtaining information through finite-time (non-quasi-static) measurements.

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Ultrafast carriers transfer dynamics in the layered CuO∖TiO2 heterostructure. ABSTRACT Understanding the charge carrier dynamics at the p‐n heterojunctions is indispensable for designing efficient photocatalysts. In this work, we used element‐specific time‐resolved soft X‐ray absorption spectroscopy (tr‐XAS) to investigate the ultrafast charge transfer
