font-family:Verdana'>Coworkers of the Laboratory for Materials Electrochemistry,
in cooperation with colleagues from Weierstrass Institute, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State
w:st="on">Berlin</st1:State></st1:place>, constructed a new theoretical model
that successfully explains the operation of a modern insertion battery. The
crucial novelty is that the electrochemical coupling between the numerous
active particles constituting a modern electrode is taken into account. When
such a coupling occurs between particles with non-monotone potential profile
(most battery materials), many unusual phenomena may occur such as a
zero-current voltage hysteresis during charge/discharge, non-continuous
(cascade-like) charging of particles or multiple potential equilibria within a
single electrode. All these predicted model-phenomena have been experimentally
verified. The new model is based on the principles known from classical
thermodynamics and holds equally for storage devices as different as
supercapacitors, hydrogen storage particles and, last but not least, ordinary
rubber balloons connected via a common vessel.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
