  • Course Overview
  • Energy storage is a key enabler in the energy sustainability eco-system. Lithium-ion batteries have transformed the modern rechargeable world with footprint in the portable electronics, vehicle electrification and grid-scale storage. The importance of modeling and simulation in accelerating innovation and design toward improved performance (energy/power), safety and life of lithium-ion batteries is critical. These are complex, dynamical systems, which include coupled physical and electrochemical processes encompassing electronic, ionic, diffusive transport in solid/electrolyte phases, electrochemical and phase change reactions and stress generation in porous electrodes. The performance, thermal safety, and lifetime of Li-ion batteries are predicated on fundamental understanding of the underlying reaction and transport processes. This course will lay out the details of a comprehensive computational modeling framework of thermo-electrochemical interactions in lithium-ion batteries toward predicting performance life and safety.
