Popis: |
The demand for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) on the market has gradually risen, with production increasing every year. To meet industrial needs, the development of digital twins designed to optimize LIB manufacturing processes is essential. Here, by using LiNi0.33Co0.33Mn0.33O2 (NMC111) material as an example, we introduce the realistic particles shapes of the active material obtained from X-ray micro-computed tomography into a Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamic physical model to simulate the slurry and its drying, and into a Discrete Element Method model able to simulate the calendering of the resulting electrode. This model enables to link the manufacturing parameters with the microstructure of the electrodes and to better observe the effect of the former on the heterogeneity of the electrodes. The results of the simulations allow us, among others, to observe the alteration of the electrode heterogeneity during the manufacturing process and the slight deformation of the secondary particles of active material. |
