Particle Tracking Methods for Battery Precipitation Reactions

Precipitation and deposition reactions at solid–liquid interfaces play a key role in a number of battery chemistries, including Li-ion, so-called “anode free” batteries, zinc-based battery chemistries, and lithium–sulfur, among others. Although models with heterogeneous nucleation and growth phenomena are present in the literature, papers have not to date provided much detail on the numerical algorithms used to track the temporal evolution of the particle size distribution of deposits on electrode surfaces. In this paper we examine several approaches to discretize and track the particle size distribution, demonstrating that common approaches lead to anomalous flattening of the particle size distribution. We conclude by presenting an algorithm that preserves the appropriate particle size distribution during particle growth.

Harnessing Quantum Computing for Energy Materials: Opportunities and Challenges

Developing high-performance materials is critical for diverse energy applications to increase efficiency, improve sustainability and reduce costs. Classical computational methods have enabled important breakthroughs in energy materials development, but they face scaling and time-complexity limitations, particularly for high-dimensional or strongly correlated material systems. Quantum computing (QC) promises to offer a paradigm shift by exploiting quantum bits with their superposition and entanglement to address challenging problems intractable for classical approaches. This Perspective discusses the opportunities in leveraging QC to advance energy materials research and the challenges QC faces in solving complex and high-dimensional problems. We present cases on how QC, when combined with classical computing methods, can be used for the design and simulation of practical energy materials. We also outline the outlook for error-corrected, fault-tolerant QC capable of achieving predictive accuracy and quantum advantage for complex material systems.

Multireference Embedding and Fragmentation Methods for Classical and Quantum Computers: From Model Systems to Realistic Applications

One of the primary challenges in quantum chemistry is the accurate modeling of strong electron correlation. While multireference methods effectively capture such correlation, their steep scaling with system size prohibits their application to large molecules and extended materials. Quantum embedding offers a promising solution by partitioning complex systems into manageable subsystems. In this Review, we highlight recent advances in multireference density matrix embedding and localized active space self-consistent field approaches for complex molecules and extended materials. We discuss both classical implementations and the emerging potential of these methods on quantum computers. Here, by extending classical embedding concepts to the quantum landscape, these algorithms have the potential to expand the reach of multireference methods in quantum chemistry and materials.
