SOLVED!

Quantitative simulation of battery aging

Math2Market, together with Prof. Wood's MaDE group at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH), pursues the quantitative simulation of battery aging. This paves the way for more performance and longer battery life.

Get ready to explore new possibilities for the development of advanced digital battery materials!

Our approach is to analyze state-of-the-art NMC cathode and graphite anode microstructures. The experimental data is used to validate degradation simulations in which local volumetric changes and damage due to lithium intercalation are computed. New prototype materials can be designed and optimized following this method.

R&D GeoDict users will be able to simulate battery ageing upon cycling and design optimized prototype electrodes with superior performance and lifetime! With GeoDict, Math2Market intends to lead the way in battery simulation for a breakthrough in innovative energy materials for e-mobility and energy storage.

Latest developments

The SOLVED! Project successfully finished at the end of 2021.

Together with our partners from the MaDE group at ETH Zurich, Math2Market was able to develop and validate the beta version of what was then called DegraDict. After the development, DegraDict was integrated into the BatteryDict module of GeoDict as BatteryDict Degradation.

The Math2Market and the MaDE group of ETH Zurich were represented with a poster contribution at this year's Batterieforum Online. The poster presented the results of the SOLVED! project.

First SOLVED! milestone reached

We have reached the first project milestone and successfully developed our new numerical solver Battery-LIR (BLIR).

Official Start of the SOLVED! - Project in Kaiserslautern

The teams of MaDE Group (ETH Zurich) and Math2Market held a kick-off meeting today as partners in the SOLVED! project. In this official start, the teams concretized the contents and goals, and the steps of the project for all participants. The focused and friendly atmosphere during the meeting and in individual discussions clearly signaled that all project team members are highly motivated and looking forward to working together in tackling the challenges of the project.

The Eurostars SOLVED! project starts

The Eurostars project SOLVED! has officially started today. We are looking forward to the cooperation with the ETH and two exciting project years. We hope that with the knowledge we will gain, we can make the world a little better.
