Modeling Impedance in the Lithium-Ion Battery

Application ID: 17809


The goal with this app is to explain experimental electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements and to show how you can use a simulation app, along with measurements, to estimate the properties of lithium-ion batteries.

The app takes measurements from an EIS experiment and uses them as inputs. It then simulates these measurements and runs a parameter estimation based on the experimental data.

The control parameters are: the exchange current density, the resistivity of the solid electrolyte interface on the particles, the double-layer capacitance of NCA, the double-layer capacitance of the carbon support in the positive electrode, and the diffusivity of the lithium ion in the positive electrode. Fitting is done to the measured impedance of the positive electrode at frequencies ranging from 10 mHz to 1 kHz.

This application example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
