The performance of a battery depends on many parameters such as the electrochemical properties of the used active materials, the size of particles, geometry of the electrode such as thickness and porosity or the content and distribution of conductive binder network.
Testing all these different parameters in the laboratory is time-consuming, yet a clear understanding how the battery electrode’s microstructure and all these parameters affect the battery cell performance in order to get the most performant and safe battery.
The charging simulation presented in this webinar allows users to explore the impact of micro‑structural design choices on the electrochemical performance, accelerating the development cycle for next‑generation batteries. With the insights of simulations, experiments can be more targeted to the most promising designs.
In this seminar, we walk you through the full digital workflow of battery development - using a state-of-the-art NMC333 cathode as a case study. You'll learn how to generate a fully resolved electrode microstructure and simulate the charging behavior in a realistic half-cell setup.
What you'll learn:
- How to generate a bimodal NMC333 cathode with active material, binder, and pores (with bimodal Electrode GeoApp)
- How to build a realistic half-cell vs. a lithium reference electrode
- How to simulate electrochemical charging with a fully resolved model (LIR solver)
- How to analyze 3D-resolved results like ion concentration, heat generation, and current density
- How to accelerate your simulation with the enhanced P2D model for fast parameter studies
Gain deep insights into ion transport, reaction kinetics, and thermal behavior - long before a physical prototype is built. GeoDict enables you to identify performance limitations, optimize your design, and reduce development cycles dramatically.
Why should you attend this seminar?
- Easy creation of realistic electrode microstructures and battery microstructures
- Fully resolved simulations on industry-relevant volume sizes and resolutions with powerful solvers
- Automated calculation of effective parameters that are needed for homogenized model (enhanced P2D model) directly from the microstructure
- Fast variation of experimental parameters of the electrode with homogenized model
Yes, the online seminar is particularly suitable for beginners. You can request a trial license and test GeoDict for 14 days.
