Simulation and optimization of the dual lithium ion insertion cell
- Lawrence Berkeley Lab., Berkeley, CA (United States)
The galvanostatic charge and discharge of a dual lithium ion insertion (rocking-chair) cell are modeled. Transport in the electrolyte is described with concentrated solution theory. Insertion of lithium into and out of the active electrode material is simulated using superposition, greatly simplifying the numerical calculations. Simulations results are presented for the Li{sub x}C{sub 6}{vert_bar}propylene carbonate + 1M LiClO{sub 4}{vert_bar}Li{sub y}Mn{sub 2}O{sub 4} cell, and these results are compared with experimental data from the literature. Criteria are established to assess the importance of diffusion in the solid matrix and of transport in the electrolyte solution. Various procedures to optimize the utilization of active material are considered. Simulation results for the dual lithium ion insertion cell are compared with those for a cell with a solid lithium negative electrode.
