Batteries & Fuel Cells Module

The Batteries and Fuel Cells Module is a specialized tool designed to model and simulate all types of battery and fuel cell (FC) applications. The Module features tailored interfaces to study primary, secondary and tertiary current density distributions in electrochemical cells. The cell can contain solid or porous electrodes and the dilute or concentrated electrolytes. Additionally multiphysics couplings such as heat transfer, fluid flow and electrochemical reactions can be added through the multiphysics capabilities of COMSOL.

Applications

  • Alkaline FC
  • Molten Carbonate FC
  • Direct Methanol FC
  • Solid Oxide FC
  • Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) FC
  • Lithium ion battery
  • Nickel hydride battery
  • Lead acid battery
