How can we model the effect of solvent breakdown on the performance of your batteries?
As batteries such as lithium-ion batteries are cycled, some solvent components are reduced to form the solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI). While this process is most rapid in the first few cycles, it is also an important factor in the long-term aging of the cell. As some electrolyte species (typically ethylene carbonate, EC) preferentially break down, their…

Faster and cheaper transport properties with Compular Lab
There are many properties that describe transport in electrolytes, but they are not all created equal. Self-diffusvities are simple When we talk about diffusivity, what we mean is often self-diffusivity. The self-diffusivity describes how a single species diffuses over time, regardless of how the other components of the electrolyte move at the same time. Computing…

Solving the problem of missing parameters in cell models
Is lack of parameters an issue for your battery models? For most battery developers, simulations are an integral part of the development process. Simulations on the continuum scale require knowledge of the properties of the materials that are being modeled. Sometimes such material properties can be sourced from open databases, but more often than not,…
