[Case Study] Reduction of Electrolyte and Formation of SEI Film in MaterialsStudio
"Materials Studio" can perform battery property calculations [Case Study Introduction].
◇Introduction of examples of electrolyte reduction and SEI film formation - The SEI film refers to the film formed by the decomposition products of the electrolyte on the electrode surface. - Its role includes preventing excessive decomposition of the electrode liquid and regulating the ions absorbed by the electrode; however, an increase in the SEI film can lead to increased electrical resistance and a decline in battery performance. ◆Details of the case - A Li / Li2CO3 / EC model was created. - The energy barrier of the SEI film, which plays a role in preventing excessive ion supply to the electrode, can be observed. - The charge transfer coefficient α, calculated from the Butler-Volmer equation, is approximately 0.22, which matches the experimental value. - This report has enabled a bottom-up modeling approach for battery design. 【Product Features】 ■ Also optimal for "Materials Informatics" ■ Simulation software that streamlines material development It can be used by those engaged in research, development, design, and manufacturing across various industry sectors. ■ Helps in the development of new materials more efficiently and easily. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.
