Abstract

• Complete study of strain rate and temperature effects on mechanical behavior of battery polymer separators is now available. • Anisotropy of separator has been implemented into finite element model for battery - rate and temperature sensitivity next. • Studied effect of electrode calendering on electrochemical performance of positive electrodes. • Methods for derivation of microstructure tensors from X-ray tomography of electrodes are being developed. • The goal - build the simulation with minimum adjustable "knobs" starting from microstructure. Use the results for virtual testing of batteries for safety.
