Recent advances in computational materials science and engineering are promoting a change in the paradigm of components design. These new simulation tools allows have made possible to observe materials at different length (and time) scales, providing insights into local phenomena (e.g., internal structure, defects, diffusion) that may have an important role at the component level (e.g., performance, integrity, durability) regardless of the application. This approach presents a solution to the demand of new energy storage devices, especially due to the rise of consumer electronics, electric vehicles, or distributed generation. In the VirtualBats project we aim at developing a new multiscale, multiphysical simulation platform combining discrete (e.g., molecular dynamics, discrete element modeling) and continuum-based (namely, finite elements) tools to enhance the design process of batteries. We will use dual-graphite Li-ion battery as a proof concept, although this framework can be extended to other types of batteries. Finally, the main challenges and proposed solutions to realize this simulation platform for this specific type of application will be explored.![]() |
