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:
