Continuum simulations for microscale 3D batteries

Continuum simulations provide a cost-effective approach to analyze the effect of geometric structure and dimension in microscale batteries. This allows us to explore how the introduction of 3D vertical structure into the battery design can be used to increase both areal capacity and power density. A...

Description
Summary:Continuum simulations provide a cost-effective approach to analyze the effect of geometric structure and dimension in microscale batteries. This allows us to explore how the introduction of 3D vertical structure into the battery design can be used to increase both areal capacity and power density. As we highlight here, continuum simulations contribute toward new insights into optimized geometric parameters, understanding performance of working 3D microscale batteries, and investigations into different physical processes occurring in microscale batteries. [Display omitted] •Optimization of 3D battery geometry and dimensions via continuum simulations.•A tool for qualitative analysis of experimental microscale 3D batteries.•Extension to multiphysics simulations, coupling ionic transport with other physical processes.
