Key Applications of Electrochemical Theory

Abstract

The solution of the electrochemical thermal model developed in the previous chapters is discussed under various charge–discharge scenarios. The total heat generation is resolved to anode, cathode, and separator sections of the Li-ion cell, and the significant sources identified. The contribution due to irreversible, reversible, phase change processes is identified. Dependence of these multiple components on the operating conditions is studied, and optimal operating conditions are suggested (Figures and discussions reproduced with permissions from Elsevier.).
