Electrochemistry: The physics behind how your battery operates and performs.
Electrochemistry simulation supports from the manufacturing of the battery cell to predicting age and lifetime. Cell manufacturers are tasked with the challenging job of storing as much power as possible, while reducing size, weight and cost. Accurately simulating electrochemistry before the manufacturing process helps with materials property selection and electrode structure design.
Using Ansys, Volkswagen Motorsport conducted a six-step multiphysics simulation involving electrical and thermal parameters to design and validate their battery model.
It is critical to understand the phenomena taking place within a battery in order to enhance performance. However, visualizing extremely small-scale phenomena can be challenging. With Ansys’ 3D lithium-ion electrochemical model, users are able to solve the phenomena within a battery related to potential Li, Li-ion transport and electrochemical reaction.
