自铅酸电池发明以来，由于其功率密度高，成本低等优点，铅酸电池成为目前市场份额最高的二次电池。但是铅酸电池能量密度较低等缺点限制了它在诸如电动汽车等领域的应用。为拓展铅酸电池的应用范围，本文提出了一种新型铅酸电池——铅空气电池，并利用 COMSOL Multiphysics® 对其性能进行初步预测。铅空气电池是将传统铅酸电池中氧化铅电极替换为空气电极的一种新型铅酸电池。建立模型的过程中参考了案例库中“铅酸电池的放电与自放电”和“一维等温锂空气电池”两个案例，使用铅酸电池接口模拟电极反应，电极孔隙率变化，电解质传递行为和浓度变化 ... Read More
COMSOL® "Single Particle Model for Lithium-Ion Batteries” (Model ID: 14527) is generalized to include an energy balance. This is accomplished by approximating the solution phase polarization as a function of current and temperature. The theoretical approach for this work is similar to ... Read More
Energy harvesting from a fluid flow using piezoelectric materials is a relatively recent topic that has been investigated experimentally and numerically [1, 2]. Its possible application in natural water currents represents an interesting strategy to easily harvest renewable energy from ... Read More
Lithium-sulphur (Li-S) batteries have the potential to surpass the energy storage capability of Li-ion batteries due to their high theoretical gravimetric energy density of 2700 Wh/kg. However, the processes which drive the system behaviour are much more complex than those in a Li-ion ... Read More
Lithium microbatteries are replacing conventional power sources in many microsystems areas such as wireless sensors and biomedical monitors. In many of these applications, compact models of micro batteries are needed both at the microsystems design stage and at the real-time power ... Read More
