Coupled Thermal-Electrochemical Analysis

The coupled thermal-electrochemical procedure is intended for the analysis of battery electrochemistry applications that require solving simultaneously for temperature, electric potentials in the solid electrodes, electric potential in the electrolyte, concentration of ions in the electrolyte, and concentration in the solid particles used in the electrodes.

A coupled thermal-electrochemical analysis:

  • is used for applications where the thermal, electrical, and ion concentration fields affect each other strongly;

  • requires the use of coupled thermal-electrochemical elements;

  • allows for transient or steady-state solutions for temperature and ion concentration and for steady-state solutions for solid and electrolyte electric potentials;

  • can include the specification of a fraction of electrical and electrochemical energy that is released as heat; and

  • can be linear or nonlinear.
