Meet Dr Carlos Garcia, Research Associate at Imperial College London. Dr Garcia gives an overview of the Large-scale Multi-chemistry Degradation Study. This is a highly systematic cell degradation study, undertaken within The Faraday’s Institution (FI) MultiScale Modelling (MSM) project and performed using bespoke cells, which has been carefully designed to support the MSM project and the development of degradation mechanism models in PyBaMM by providing modellers with a relevant and dependable dataset.
📽️⚡️Meet Dr Mark Blyth, a new member of the MSM team at the University of Bristol, working on lithium ion batteries; researching how temperature gradients develop within the batteries, how that impact the performance that can be expected from them, and how to model it efficiently.
Meet Yoana Grudeva, a new member of the MSM team at the University of Portsmouth, working on modelling Phase Change Electrodes, currently focusing on nano LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) particles and understanding the origin of voltage hysteresis. https://batterymodel.co.uk/our-team/wp2/
Meet Dr. Kawa Manmi, Research Fellow at the University of Warwick, focused on physics-based modeling of Li-ion batteries Specifically, formation and growth of the SEI layer. https://batterymodel.co.uk/workpackages/#workpackage2
Meet Dr Mehrdad Babazadeh, Research Fellow at the University of Warwick, tackling battery modelling! 25+ years across academia & industry. Now unlocking the secrets of low-temperature modelling of Li-ion batteries! ❄️⚡️ More info: https://batterymodel.co.uk/workpackages/#workpackage3
Check out this video by Ruihe Li, a PhD student in Imperial College London, talking about his work on the modelling the electrolyte related degradation using PyBaMM.
We are thrilled to introduce Dr. Mayur Bonkile, Postdoctoral Research Associate at Imperial College London Mayur is tackling a critical challenge in #battery safety 🔋 - understanding #thermal runaway. In his #research with @Billy Wu and @Gregory Offer, he is developing physics-based models in #PyBaMM to couple thermal runaway behaviour with #degradation modes. 🌡️⚙️ These insights are a valuable tool for both #industry and #academia to build upon. Further links to dive deeper into his research! 📚✨ MSM: https://batterymodel.co.uk/ ESE: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/electrochem-sci-eng PyBaMM: https://pybamm.org/ Mayur: https://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/m.bonkile
Since 2018, the Multiscale Modelling project works to equip industry and academia with new software modelling tools to predict and improve battery lifetime and performance, by connecting the understanding of battery materials at the atomic level all the way up to an assembled battery pack.
Batteries require a range of high value metals and there are valid concerns about where and how we will source these, with environmental impacts from mining and manufacturing, such as habitat destruction, water use and pollutants, at the forefront. Batteries manufactured now will reach their end of life in 8-15 years from now. Given the large quantities of batteries to be output by many gigafactories worldwide, this represents an environmental crisis: a looming mountain of severely degraded batteries in landfills. But the environmental impacts of battery disposal and resource depletion could be prevented, with a little thought and careful planning, looking holistically across the value chain. Sustainability is a highly complex topic and published LCA analyses lack consistency in their approach, assumptions and boundary conditions. There is a need for defining standard tools, methods and even units, to support comparisons between different battery chemistries and applications. This talk will give a broad overview of the topic, defining sustainability in the context of batteries, describing the battery life cycle and identifying the key issues at each stage of the lifecycle, with a particular focus on the trade-offs that can occur between the stages. Where solutions have been proposed, these will be presented. This presentation was part of the Faraday Institution's annual November conference, 2021.
