Battery Research Breakout Session

Batteries are undoubtedly one of the key components driving innovation in 21st century technology, and new developments in the field have led to both increased capacities and significantly reduced production costs. However, this dynamic environment also places pressure on researchers and companies to stay ahead in their research and development projects with rapid results. In this session, we present how digital material design with GeoDict can support fast and cost-effective pathways for battery development.

To begin, the key features and latest developments in GeoDict for battery simulation will be presented by Dr.-Ing. Roman Buchheit from Math2Market. New features in GeoDict 2025 include heat production inside the battery structure, increased flexibility in electrochemical simulation with multiple binder and conductive additive phases, and more realistic boundary conditions for mechanical degradation simulation.

Next, we are pleased to welcome Dr. Robert Mücke from Forschungszentrum Jülich, who will give a talk on the modeling of all-solid-state lithium batteries using GeoDict. On the same topic, Maximilian Luczak from Math2Market will present the latest developments in the publicly funded DELFIN project aimed at enhancing all-solid-state battery modeling within GeoDict.

Lastly, Dr.-Ing. Roman Buchheit will provide a live demonstration of electrochemical modeling of batteries with concentration-dependent parameters in the active materials using the new GeoDict 2025. At the end of the breakout session, there will be an opportunity for discussion, including a Q&A session as well as networking with other researchers utilizing GeoDict for battery development.
