Measuring the Performance of Electrochemical Devices in COMSOL®

时长: 59:54

Watch this archived webinar to learn about using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software to measure and optimize electrochemical device performance.

Guest speaker Edmund Dickinson of the National Physical Laboratory discusses simulating electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in test cells in order to characterize battery materials. In addition, he talks about deploying the Newman model in 2D and 3D geometries and shows how EIS measurement is affected by the geometric configuration.
