ABSTRACT
Chemical diffusion is vital in materials science and energy technology. Current Fick and non-Fick theories overlook the transient nature of diffusion. By referring to biomechanical axioms, we incorporate the transient expansion process and introduce characteristic time. This paper explores chemo-mechanical coupling in a spherical structure via transient continuum theory. The results show characteristic time changes in the diffusion equation from parabolic to hyperbolic, yielding finite diffusion speed and wave-like behavior, offering a basis for optimizing systems like lithium-ion batteries.
