Abstract

En 中文
This paper proposes a Topology Optimization (TO) method for the design of microstructures within All-Solid-State Batteries (ASSBs), using the homogenization method. ASSBs have attracted significant attention because of their possibilities to surpass the problems of conventional liquid lithium-ion batteries regarding safety, energy density, and longevity. To improve the performance of ASSBs, many experimental research results based on costly trial-and-error approaches have previously been presented. In order to mitigate the cost and time involved in trial-and-error, several numerical approaches have also been proposed to deal with the multiple materials in various batteries. TO is one of the most flexible structural optimization methods that can allow topological changes as well as boundary changes, and has the potential to provide high-performance structures. TO methods have also been successfully applied to the design of several kinds of batteries, such as Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) and Redox flow batteries. However, to the best of our knowledge, research concerning the structural optimization of ASSBs has not been found. In this paper, we propose the TO method targeting microstructure designs of ASSBs using the homogenization method to associate microstructural configurations and macroscopic properties. First, we define a new objective function that can appropriately evaluate the performance of ASSBs and can reduce computational costs in the optimization process. Next, the design sensitivities addressing the time-dependent and nonlinear aspects of the problem are derived using the Lagrange and continuous adjoint methods. Finally, we provide several numerical results under various conditions, including different C-rates, to confirm the validity and efficiency of our proposed method.
