Modeling High Current Pulsed Discharge in AA Battery Cathodes: The Effect of Localized Charging during Rest

New paper from us at ACS Applied Energy Materials (open access). We modeled the localized charging and discharging (i.e. balancing) that happens in a battery after a high current pulse. Great work by Dominick Guida in collaboration with Energizer.

I *wanted* this paper to be about adapting Marcus-type kinetics to MnO2 electrochemistry. But no matter what we tried, adapting a Butler-Volmer expression fit the data better. (AMH=asymmetric Marcus–Hush kinetics.)
