Li nucleation on the graphite anode under potential control in Li-ion batteries
PublicationApplication of Li-ion batteries in electric vehicles requires improved safety, increased lifetime and high charging rates. One of the most commonly used intercalation anode material for Li-ion batteries, graphite, is vulnerable to Li nucleation, a side reaction which competes with the intercalation process and leads to loss of reversible capacity of the battery, ageing and short-circuits. In this study, we deploy a combined grand...

Existence of unbounded solutions to parabolic equations with functional dependence
PublicationThe Cauchy problem for nonlinear parabolic differential-functional equations is considered. Under natural generalized Lipschitz-type conditions with weights, the existence and uniqueness of unbounded solutions is obtained in three main cases: (i) the functional dependence u(·); (ii) the functional dependence u(·) and ∂xu(·); (iii) the functional dependence u(·)and the pointwise dependence ∂xu(t,x).
