| contents | Decoherence and dissipation in open quantum systems generally drive quantum batteries toward passive states, thereby reducing their extractable work (ergotropy). Here, we study a driven qubit quantum battery coherently coupled to an auxiliary harmonic oscillator in the presence of dephasing and dissipation. Using the differential formulation of the first law of open quantum thermodynamics, we analyze the local energy-flow dynamics during the charging process. We find that the auxiliary oscillator induces a transient negative local energy current into the qubit subsystem, corresponding to a temporary inward energy backflow. This transient energy redistribution is accompanied by an enhancement of the qubit ergotropy and a partial suppression of decoherence-induced passivation. Moreover, the parameter regime exhibiting a more pronounced negative-current interval is consistently correlated with larger ergotropy enhancement. Our results suggest that transient inward energy flow provides a useful thermodynamic signature associated with enhanced energy storage in open quantum batteries. |
