Mathematical modeling of secondary lithium batteries

Modeling of secondary lithium batteries is reviewed in this paper. The mode ls available to simulate the electrochemical and thermal behavior of second ary lithium batteries are discussed considering not only their electrochemi cal representation (transport phenomena and thermodynamics of the system), but also the mathematical techniques that have been used for solving the eq uations. A brief review of the governing equations for porous electrodes, a nd methods for solving these equations is also given. (C) 2000 Elsevier Sci ence Ltd. All rights reserved.
