Dynamic Electrochemical Interfaces for Energy Conversion and Storage

Electrochemical energy conversion and storage are central to developing future renewable energy systems.For efficient energy utilization, both the performance and stability of electrochemical systems should be optimized in terms of the electrochemical interface.To achieve this goal, it is imperative to understand how a tailored electrode structure and electrolyte speciation can modify the electrochemical interface structure to improve its properties.However, most approaches describe the electrochemical interface in a static or frozen state.Although a simple static model has long been adopted to describe the electrochemical interface, atomic and molecular level pictures of the interface structure should be represented more dynamically to understand the key interactions.From this perspective, we highlight the importance of understanding the dynamics within an electrochemical interface in t…
