Abstract
A computational model of the heterogeneous solid-phase electrochemical intercalation of lithium into aluminum was developed. The model is ba sed on numerical methods and allows one to find a rate law that accoun ts for nucleation and the number, critical size, rate, and nature of g rowing nuclei of a new phase. The sensitivity of the model to various parameters was analyzed. The model allows the calculation of nucleatio n of a new phase as shown by the experimental study of the kinetics of electrochemical intercalation of lithium into aluminum to form an int ermetallic compound.
