Electroconvection in rechargeable batteries enhances the growth of dendrites at the electrode surface. The addition of low molecular weight polymers to the electrolyte in batteries results in the formation of a thin layer of higher polymer concentration near the electrode. This is due to van der Waals forces of attraction between the metal electrode and the polymers dissolved in the electrolyte. The van der Waals forces act as a restoring body force on the electrolyte and oppose the growth of perturbations. Using linear stability analysis, we show that this force opposes electroconvective flow. This increases the critical voltage required for the onset of electroconvection. |
