Li-ion batteries

Lithium ion batteries with solid state electrolytes are prone to degradation by a range of mechanisms including dendrite formation, void formation and swell-induced fatigue and micro-cracking. The topology of the battery plays a role over a number of length scales, from macro scale geometry of battery to the microstructural scale of the cathode. The kinetics of plating and stripping of lithium at free surfaces play a major role, along with the role of topology in terms of both performance and failure mechanisms.

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to cordially invite you to submit an abstract to our symposium titled “electro-chemo-mechanics of energy materials” as part of the 18th U.S. National Congress for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics Conference. The conference will be hosted by Northwestern University, Chicago in June 5-9, 2018.

Hello Imechanica community, we have just published our study on the mechanics of SEI in Li-ion batteries. Please find the abstract and link as below.
