Comment on "Effects of dislocation mechanics on diffusion-induced stresses within a spherical insertion particle electrode" by P. Wei, J. Zhou, X. Pang, H. Liu, K. Deng, G. Wang, Y. Wu and B. Chen, J. Mater. Chem. A., 2014, 2, 1128

In this work, it is shown that the analysis by Wei et al. [Wei et al., J. Mater. Chem. A, 2014, 2, 1128–1136] is inappropriate for studying the effect of dislocation mechanics on diffusion-induced stresses. Using the theories of dislocation mechanics and plasticity, a set of equations for analyzing the effect of dislocations on diffusion-induced stresses are proposed.
