Abstract Connecting physio-chemical theory with electrical model is essential yet difficult for evaluating the impact of nonlinear ion transport on the performance of ionic circuits and electrochemical energy storage devices1-6. Here we demonstrate that machine learning can resolve this difficulty and produce physics-based nano-circuitry. Starting from a physio-chemical perspective, we first reveal an anomalous diffusion-enhanced migration of ions in nanopores, which exhibits a nonlinear electrical response. Using machine learning, we discover its underlying mathematical equation, and produce a dynamically varying ionic resistance for construction of nano-circuitry model. Based on the physio-chemical understanding of nano-circuitry model, we discover in supercapacitors that the nonlinear ion transport can lead to a Faradaic-like current peak in non-Faradaic processes and an asymmetric charging/discharging without ion desolvation, adding new perspectives to physio-chemistry.

In this work, plasticized polymer electrolyte films consisting of chitosan, ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) and glycerol for utilization in energy storage devices was presented. Various microscopic, spectroscopic and electrochemical techniques were used to characterize the concerned electrolyte and the electrical double-layer capacitor (EDLC) assembly. The nature of complexation between the polymer electrolyte components was examined via X-ray diffraction analysis. In the morphological study, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) was used to investigate the impact of glycerol as a plasticizer on the morphology of films. The polymer electrolyte (conducting membrane) was found to have a conductivity of 3.21 × 10−3 S/cm. It is indicated that the number density (n), mobility (μ) and diffusion coefficient (D) of ions are increased with the glycerol amount. The mechanism of charge storing was clarified, which implies a non-Faradaic process. The voltage window of the polymer electrolyte is 2.32 V. It was proved that the ion is responsible for charge-carrying via measuring the transference number (TNM). It was also determined that the internal resistance of the EDLC assembly lay between 39 and 50 Ω. The parameters associated with the EDLC assembly are of great importance and the specific capacitance (Cspe) was determined to be almost constant over 1 to 1000 cycles with an average of 124 F/g. Other decisive parameters were found: energy density (18 Wh/kg) and power density (2700 W/kg).
