CORE
The challenge:
The CORE theme develops the tools and methods that underpin the research carried out in EXPLORE. It encompasses two work packages: software development, maintaining and contributing to key computational tools across multiple scales of battery modelling; and parameterisation, establishing robust, standardised methods to accurately and efficiently calibrate those models.
EXPLORE
The challenge:
EXPLORE builds on the models, methods and tools developed in CORE to investigate emerging and critical battery materials, technologies, limitations and opportunities. Its research spans formation and virtual SEI, next-generation chemistries, phase-change and sodium-ion materials, chemo-thermo-mechanics, heterogeneity, thermal behaviour, safety and failure across scales.
