Region Name

Unique name to identify the electrode region.

Region Type

Set to “Anode” to specify that the material definitions are for the anode region.

Set to “Cathode” to specify that the material definitions are for the cathode region.

Set to “Separator” to specify that the material definitions are for the separator region.

${\epsilon }_s$

Volume fraction of the solid phase in the electrode.

${\epsilon }_e$

Volume fraction of the liquid phase or electrolyte in the electrode.

${\epsilon }_b$

Volume fraction of the binder material in the electrode.

${\epsilon }_{\mathrm{inactive}}$

Volume fraction of the inactive solid phase material in the electrode.

Utilization Fraction

Fraction of utilization of the cathode and anode regions.

${\alpha }_z$

Bruggeman exponent in the thickness direction.

${\alpha }_x$

Bruggeman exponent in the manufacturing direction.

${\alpha }_y$

Bruggeman exponent in the transverse direction.

${\mathrm{Conv}}_{\mathrm{coef}}$

Set this value equal to 1.0 when the particle swelling and convection effects of the electrolyte due to swelling should be modeled.
