Recent advancements in micro-scale additive manufacturing techniques have created opportunities for design of novel electrode geometries that improve battery performance by deviating from the traditional layered battery design. These 3D batteries typically exhibit interpenetrating anode and cathode materials throughout the design space, but the existing well-established porous electrode theory models assume only one type of electrode is present in each battery layer. We therefore develop and demonstrate a multi-electrode volume-averaged electrochemical transport model to simulate transient discharge performance of these new interpenetrating electrode architectures. We implement the new reduced-order model in the PETSc framework and asses its accuracy by comparing predictions to corresponding mesoscale-resolved simulations that are orders of magnitude more computationally-intensive. For simple electrode designs such as alternating plates or cylinders, the volume-averaged model predicts performance within ~2% for electrode feature sizes comparable to traditional particle sizes (5-10μm) at discharge rates up to 3C. When considering more complex geometries such as minimal surface designs (i.e. gyroid, Schwarz P), we show that using calibrated characteristic diffusion lengths for each design results in errors below 3% for discharge rates up to 3C. These comparisons verify that this novel model has made reliable cell-scale simulations of interpenetrating electrode designs possible.
