Statistical description of electro-diffusion processes of ions intercalation in "electrolyte – electrode" system

We propose a statistical theory of classical-quantum description of electro-diffusion processes of intercalation in "electrolyte – electrode" system. Using the nonequilibrium statistical operator method the generalized transport equations of Nernst-Planck type for ions and electrons in the "electrolyte – electrode" system are obtained. These equations take into account time memory effects and spatial heterogeneity. Within a classical description an analytical calculation of spatially inhomogeneous diffusion coefficients for ions is carried out.
