What is battery materials modeling?

That’s where battery materials modeling comes into play to help battery designers explore new materials and optimize performance by co-designing the structure and chemistry of new batteries, ultimately shortening development time and cost.

Why should battery designers use modeling software?

Modeling software helps battery designers focus on important criteria for their market and use accelerated, virtual experimentation that makes the process much more cost and time-effective.

How to design a battery pack?

As a battery pack designer it is important to understand the cell in detail so that you can interface with it optimally. It is interesting to look at the Function of the Cell Can or Enclosure and to think about the relationship between the Mechanical, Electrical and Thermal design.

How can advanced batteries improve over-all performance?

Two strategies have focused on achieving advanced batteries with better over-all performances. The first is modifying current LIBs by optimizing electrolytes, electrode materials, and device structure , , , , , , .

Should you benchmark your cell and battery pack design?

Benchmarking your cell and battery pack design is a good way of learning and developing the future roadmap for your products. When designing a battery pack you will always be asked to benchmark it. For this there are a number of key metrics: A to Z lists all of the key pages and topics alphabetically.

How can simulations help a battery design?

There are a lot of physics going on inside the battery and simulations can help battery designers troubleshoot. For instance, replacing a material in the battery might lead to the unit developing too much heat and becoming explosive. Simulations allow designers to test a thesis quite easily and inexpensively while making adjustments as necessary.
