About the speaker
Dr. Jeff Gostick is an Associate Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering, at The University of Waterloo. Dr. Gostick leads the Porous Materials Engineering & Analysis Lab (PMEAL), and his group is the lead developer of OpenPNM and PoreSpy, two open-source software packages for studying porous materials at the pore-scale.
Webinar abstract
The presentation will outline the general approach for pore network modelling of the complex multiphysics involved in electrode reactions. Starting with the extraction of networks from tomograms (both traditional solid-void binary images as well as multiphase images of Li-ion cathodes consisting of void, active material, and binder), leading into the construction of accurate representations of the pore network structure, followed by a description of the mathematics of the physics being considered and discussion of some developments in implementing true multiphysics within the PNM framework.
The presentation will then introduce, via case studies, several of the recent…
