Effect of Intercalation Diffusivity When Simulating Mixed Electrode Materials in Li-Ion Batteries

E. Wikner [1],
[1] Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden

This paper is about the influence of the diffusion coefficient when simulating mixed electrode materials. The results show that when simulating dynamic behavior of a lithium ion battery cell with mixed electrode material the diffusion coefficients is very important. Read More

Modeling and Simulation of Thermal Runaway in Cylindrical 18650 Lithium-Ion Batteries
