Lithium Plating with Deformation Using the Phase Field Method
Application ID: 104311
This example demonstrates how to couple the Lithium-ion Battery interface to the Phase Field interface for modeling electrode deformations.
The example is based on the Lithium Plating with Deformation model, available in the Battery Design Module Application Library.
As current is passed in the cell, lithium metal is deposited on the negative electrode.
The phase field variable is used to set the electrolyte volume fraction in the electrolyte charge transport model, whereas the the velocity field in the Phase Field interface is based on the reaction rate of the lithium-plating reaction.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Specification Chart and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.
