Abstract:

Lithium-ion batteries are complex systems containing multiscale and multiphysical fields. Electrochemical simulations can describe the chemical and physical processes in batteries, providing theoretical support for the optimization of battery systems and their design to reduce the time and costs related to battery development. This article summarizes electrochemical models and their derived models, including single-particle, pseudo-two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and mesoscale models. This study also introduces several parameter acquisition methods. Additionally, the applications of electrochemical models in internal temperature and stress analysis, aging simulation, and microstructure design of lithium-ion batteries are summarized. Based on electrochemical models, the distributions of lithium ions, potential, and reaction rate in battery electrolyte and electrodes are studied. Furthermore, an electrochemical model coupled with multiphysical fields is introduced to simulate the temperature and stress distributions in cells and predict the degradation of cells during cycling. The effects of microstructure and various parameters on battery performance are investigated using the microcosmic electrochemical model to guide electrode structure design. In summary, electrochemical models have great advantages for analyzing the internal mechanisms of batteries. Finally, directions for future research on electrochemical models for lithium-ion batteries are suggested.
