An Invitation to Engage with Computational Modeling: User-Friendly Tool for In Silico Battery Component Generation and Meshing
Résumé
With the growing interest in battery computational modeling to work hand-in-hand with experiments, the lack of user-friendly software, in particular accessible for experimentalists, is an impediment to its development. In the battery field, time dependent 3D-resolved computational modeling is a more promising approach compared to trial and error to capture the impact of the mesostructure of components (e. g. electrode, separator) on the electrochemical and transport properties of the cell. In this Concept, we introduce and describe an application, freely accessible and usable through an internet browser, that allows to import, generate and mesh battery components suited for time dependent 3D-resolved electrochemical and transport process simulations.
