Tensorial effective transport properties of Li-ion battery separators elucidated by computational multiscale modeling

Existing battery modeling works have limitations in addressing the dependence of transport properties on local field variations and characterizing the response of anisotropic media. These limitations are tackled by means of a nested finite element (FE²) multiscale framework in which microscale simulations are employed to...

Active material utilization and capacity of fiber-based battery electrodes

This study presents a three-dimensional computational model to evaluate effective conductivity and capacity of fiber-based battery electrodes. We employ electrodes composed of conductive and active material nanofibers dispersed in an electrolyte matrix. The effective conductivity is calculated by means of an equivalent resistor network model,...
