Outline of Final Research Achievements

To support a large-scale penetration of intermittent renewable energy systems, it is important to develop a highly advanced and cost-competitive battery. In this study, a methodology for optimizing the microstructure of battery electrodes is developed. Prototype system for rational design of complex electrode microstructure is established and the simulation of charge-discharge properties of complex electrode considering both ion transport and interfacial charge-transfer reaction is realized.
