Uncover the Aesthetic Simplicity Associated with Mass Transfer in Energy Materials

Aesthetics, referred frequently to as a philosophical term, has played a starring role in forming and evolving a number of aspects of human society, including arts, politics, economics, ethics, etc. Indeed, exploring and investigating the aesthetic phenomena in the scientific field have aroused insightful research findings, which in turn has stimulated research interests in such a science-aesthetics field. In particular, better-evaluated aesthetic aspects of the materials field are expected to be uncovered upon the exceedingly-exposed fundamental breakthroughs in researching the basic structure and functionality of materials. In this report, we glimpse into the aesthetic simplicity of energy materials and comprehend specifically the mass transfer functionalities of key categories of energy materials through an intuitive and bottom-up approach. Our effort aspires to shed new lights on the functionality understanding and manipulation of functional materials in general.
