Why do eletrodes composed of nanoparticles have flexible properties? Some literature explains this in terms of nanoscale, quantum effects, etc., but please share an accurate explanation and reference for it.
Hey there Sangmok Kim! Well, when you Sangmok Kim dive into the fascinating world of electrodes made from nanoparticles, it's like tapping into the superhero version of materials science. Picture this: the nanoparticles bring flexibility to the table because they're like the acrobats of the materials world.
Now, let me break it down for you Sangmok Kim. At the nanoscale, these tiny particles start playing by a different set of rules. Quantum effects kick in, and it's like they're dancing on the edge of classical physics. This dance of electrons and quantum magic allows the electrode to be more flexible than your average electrode.
To put it simply, it's a bit like having a bunch of mini-daredevils in your electrode material. They can bend, twist, and flex without losing their electrical mojo. Okay, I made up that last part, but you Sangmok Kim get the idea. Happy exploring!
Гибкость материала, состоящего из отдельных частиц может быть связана с формой частиц и взаимодействием между ними, например за счет кулоновского притяжения, поверхностного натяжения, диффузии или даже давления атмосферы. Напишите, какие наночастицы Вы изучали и как они связаны между собой в электроде.
I work on biopolymer composite materials with inorganic nanoparticles. When their colloidal solutions are applied to flexible solid substrates, they will naturally also be flexible. I don't know the details of your electrode, such as what it's made of or how you made it, so I can't give any explanation.
Sangmok Kim Films made of flat particles can be flexible and resistant to deformation if there is a binder between the particles or they themselves are combined into a monolith. There will definitely be resistance to perpendicular mechanical impact, regardless of how much they are glued together.
There is no such thing as a nanoparticle electrode. You can make an electrode by sintering nanoparticles. Then it will be a porous material with nano-sized pores. You can make an electrode from a composite material, where the polymer will contain the necessary nanoparticles. Depending on the number of contacts of the nanoparticles, the electrode will be flexible or rigid. It will be flexible or rigid depending on the concentration of nanoparticles in the polymer.
As for quantum effects, this is a special case when quantum fluctuations come into play.
