Simulations map how single-crystal battery materials could boost cycle life
The performance of rechargeable batteries is governed by processes deep within their components. A fundamental understanding of electrochemistry, structure–property–performance relationships and the effects of processing and operating conditions is essential for accelerating the development of next-generation battery technologies capable of powering electric vehicles, portable electronic devices and grid-scale energy storage. However, laboratory exploration, design and optimization remain extremely time-consuming and expensive. In contrast, advanced modeling and simulation provide powerful tools to elucidate the complex, tightly coupled processes that govern battery performance. These approaches can accelerate rational development of advanced energy storage systems with properties tailored to specific needs.
