A phase field model of solid electrolyte interface formation in lithium-ion batteries

Deng, Jie D.; Wagner, Gregory J.; Muller, Richard P.

A phase field model is developed to investigate the formation of a solid electrolyte interface layer on the anode surface in lithium-ion batteries. Numerical results show that the growth of solid electrolyte interface exhibits power-law scaling with respect to time, and the growth rate depends on various factors such as temperature, diffusivity of electrons, and rates of electrochemical reactions. © 2012 Materials Research Society.
